Please know what you're talking about before you respond.

The SRT-4 is actually a separate vehicle line in Dodge's promotional material.

Honda products will too, it just depends on how long it takes, most, if not all GM products will end up burning oil before hondas. Its quality of engineering.

That's what I'm saying. I know its on a neon chasis, I clearly stated that. It doesn't look exactly like a neon, and do you see NEON anywhere on the
SRT-4? No you don't. So TeHJuSTiN I do know what I'm talking about. I love my honda but I do respect powerful cars.

I think a car's reliability is utterly random. I don't think brand or even maintenance has any effect on it. I really don't know what effects it but, here are some examples from my family:

Aunt's '96 Honda Civic, flawlessly maintained and garage-kept: started blowing head gaskets at ~45,000 miles

Cousin's '92 Honda Accord, rountine maintence, kept outside: approaching 100,000 with no problems

Cousin's '85 Ford Escort, not maintained at all, driven hard: lasted over 200,000 before traded for a new car

Grandmother's '80s vintage Hyundai, oil might be changed once a year if it gets lucky: still running like new, who knows how many miles

Dad's '72 Firebird w/454 swap, flawlessly maintained, garage-kept: has run 11-flat in the 1/4 any day of the week for 32 years, daily driven for 32 years

My '98 S-10, routine maintenance: numerous driveline problems

I'm not angry. You are just an idiot. I don't get angry at stupid people unless they actually adversely affect my life, otherwise I just let them know they are stupid and continue on my way.

It's a stock sleeper...a lot of the guys around here that have 'ripped' civics will not even "think" about racing and SRT-4...people see it they think neon...if they don't know any better...there is one here that was imported from Montreal and it has over $10K in engine "improvements"...It has the gayest paint job, the absolutely stupidest looking wing bolted to the trunk...but no body will race the guy because they would have their asses handed to them.

You don't have to like 'em...but, Give repspect where it's due...no matter the vehicle.
