i hate the srt-4 too... just a punk *** neon... its like that one kid in school who's tired of gettin his *** whipped all the time, so he works out for a while and thinks he's big and bad, and yet still gets his *** whipped.

SRT-4 is a great car. There's no need to hate it just because it's not a 240.

no i dont hate it cuz its not a 240... hell i love my legend...more than my 240 right now. I hate the srt-4 cuz ppl are like "its not a neon, its an srt-4!" ... yeah like the chevy cobalt isnt a crapalier, or like a gmc truck isnt the same as a chevy truck. Same roots, new attitude... thats all. Now if they made the srt-4 from some other platform i could respect it... but to me its still just a beefed up neon.

It's not a Neon. SRT-4 is its own model.... Chrysler probably did it that way to avoid some epa penalty on the whole neon lineup.

Some of the most amazing cars ever made have been hopped-up versions of lesser cars.

Chrysler GLHS is a beast based on the dodge Omni. VW GTi probably launched the sport compact scene in the US. GMC Syclone / Typhoon (S10 pickup / chevy Blazer) were faster than a 911 turbo when in production. Heck, who would think the Buick Regal would lead to the Grand National / GNX?

Whether its a neon or not...which it is, theres still no faster car on the market for 20grand, even a lot cheaper if u know how to haggle, my friend got a brand new '04 for 15,000 and the redline and cobalt cant even compare to the performance...they can easily run 12's with only a couple grand...The point is the NEON srt-4 is a badass car for the money and u dont have to be jealous cuz you had to look at its *** end when yall were racing...

well this weekend was cool for me.

Friday

went to the track ( drag, got bored) I wanted to test out my latest motor and poorman mods. I ran about 10 time.

fastest time for the night was 15 9.007 ( stock 240's average a 16 2 car and driver mag) with a reaction of .507 ( i was into drag befor drifting and autoX)

i beat a 99 prelude, zx3 focus, and 2003 eclipes by at least 4 to 5 cars a peice.
i think it was mainly driver error.

and my god. There was two sr20 powered 240's there which made me feel kinda bad even though i dont really care for a SR. One of them had a s13 sr and there was a 95 240 there with a s15 black top SR(hhhmmmmhmhm) well some how we ran each other, i just knew even with my drivign skill that this guy was going to murder me completely. WEll not so. I beat him off the line and all the way to the 1/8 mile point and then he passed me running a 14.4 or something like that. ( he is more into drifting like me anyway)

and later that night i beat a sc300 it was a cool night for the stock KA

Saturday.

well after the cops busted up a chill spot. some how i ended up in between a GSR integra with about $1500-2000 worth of work and 2 step enabled and a 92 integra with intake and exhuast. Well when the light went green. I was gone by a car and a half while they were still spinning. In the quatermile i would have beaten the GSR but the street was very long and he caught up to me ( didnt pass me) after about the qutermile mark.

Yup cool weekend.
Nismo power
