Something I must know:
Why is it some of you would consider owning an SRT-4? Even though you acknowledge that it is more or less stripped down and built for speed alone? For example
I can think of another american made car that you can buy for UNDER $20K that has 305+ WHP, rear wheel drive, limited slip differential, and a really tough 6 speed. It also WILL run 12's stock on some sticky tires, and has FAR more potential that an already boosted little 4 cylinder. Yet, due to poor sales, this model was discontinued..... I thought you guys did the import thing because "they're more reliable" or "it's more of a challenge" or "because I want to be different" and therefore would not be interested in a little cheap american muscle, no matter what the form. Very confusing....
BTW, please don't compare ANY neon to a Hemi Cuda. Ever.

$21k for 240 whp and a Quaife diff is SICK. I want one, crank-down rear windows be damned.

Well of course they are in completely different classes, but dude you KNOW the hemi cuda wasn't 20 grand (real prices, not nominal), brand new, with a warranty. The Cuda is 20 years old and is now only hitting below 20 grand.
I think you are the only one to compare the srt-4 to a hemi cuda...the rest of us didn't say anything about it.

I'm not an "import guy" and I could give half a fuck about drag racing.
I really have nothing against muscle cars, the new ones just don't happen to be my style. I'll take a nice '71 Corvette with a 383 and TWM ITBs though.

I ahd this neon next to me acting all bad. so i revved and beat it off the line. next thing i know i hear a blow off valvew and a turbo spool up and the thing flies past me. oh man i got my ass handed to me. now if it handled better and came in 2 door version. or awd something to make it handle better. all chrysler cars, Mercede's is making all its american car companies go AWD or RWD by the year 2005/2006
