There is a reason while the EVO is 10 K more
Car and Driver said it best when they tested the SRT-4
" Fit & Finish will never precede or follow SRT-4 in the same sentence as it would in a Honda civic or Honda in RSX"
and i'm not trying to put it down or anything
it's a great "driver's" car and fun to drive

True, but I still wouldn't use "gigantic" to describe a 4-banger. Maybe "kinda big" but not "gigantic."

The Honda 2.4L would have 300 hp, a little less than eleventy gajillion, but still very impressive.

If Honda made my engine, it would have about 700 hp (and it wouldn't be made in Mexico).

A K24 with RSX-S head makes some VERY good horsepower and torque, without boost. The HASport/JRSC RSX that Car and Driver had in their test made 325 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque at only 8lbs. That Neon is boosting over double what the RSX was.

Put Remainder 10,000 into SRT-4 and you will compete with the
Viper GT-S, Supra TT, Vett Z06, WS6........ forget about the little overpriced EVO... yea thats nice 13.8 1/4 just amagine how powerful the srt-4 could be with the remainder 10k saved for mods"


Ah the classic "spend the cost difference on mods and see who's faster" argument. And the classic "buy an old 5.0 and build it up for $blah to go blah.blah sec in the quarter mile" rebuttal.

japan > america

at least in the performance/liter and build quality zones. Seeing how well the high performance japanese cars are made is just amazing compared to that of any high performance American car.

A guy I talk to sometimes who owns a Viper says he has to put a lot of money into his car to keep it running well. The guy with the R34 Skyline tells me all the money he puts in the car is gas, oil changes, and mods. I know lots of people with WRX's, and they all run perfectly with no trouble for well over a year or more (since they bought them basically) The WRX is no Viper. Of course not. But for an expensive car, you'd expect the more expensive one to run a little better. Kinda like going for a Sony, and getting GPX, or Apex quality.

I don't really think I can go back to driving an american car, unless I want to restore an old muscle car sometime when I have money.

It's basically just a bunch of american rice kids who think that they have a performance god. When in fact they have a cheaply built, upgraded Neon. I relate them to all these TFATF kids who think their Civic DX sedans with stock motors can race with the big boys.

Keep increasing the boost on those stock dodge motors, kiddies. I can't wait til you all blow the welds on your intakes, and have to replace the piston rings you fried. That's what you boys get for granny shiftin', not double-clutchin like ya should be.

:rant: over
