i dont mean to knock on the srt-4 but its a neon with a turbo....enough said...
you could say the same about the msp but idk i just think dodge is trying to get back into a market they really werent doing that good in. i dont like neons too much i dont know much about them but then again i dont like us cars that much so im biased i guess. ive read good things but idk not really hooked on them

Dude, are you serious. LOL, nah, just messing with you Allen. If I were you. I would do it. I like my Speed, but I think I would have been much more happier with the SRT-4. Either way you go, good luck and Hopefully I can buy a few parts off your car, if you decide to part it out.

if you do sell, wanna trade my stock guage bezel for yours? Seeing as you might need to switch out and make things stock to get the most bang for the buck.
dude,I owned a 2002 neon,pushing 200 something WHP N/A,and I have a good friend of mine with a SRT-4 W/ a stage 2.and I got to say I wouldn't trade my MSP for the both of them. the MSP is a black sheep,unique,and well deserving of modifacation.
if you trade,you will (most likey) regreat it,the SRT cant handle for s***,and it drives like it has all it's wieght in the front.
you cant lower it very far or but very wide wheels on it due to the rear traling arms WILL rub.
the interior is cheap as all hell,the seats defenatly all they were craked up to be.(you can feel the tubular frameing in them in your back).
and this is coming from someone who loves neons,and knows the potentiol in them,but if it's power you want hten you will get a lot more respect for modding a MSP then you would from a SRT.they are like the new honda,everything is bolt on,and made so a monkey could tune.you would get no respect from me.
put it this way,I could have gotten a 2004 for 14000 brand new out the door,but I turned it down,so I could own something worth owning.

Well, I can speak from experience, I owned both. And at the same time. So my veiws of one or the other are not biased by over-romanticized nostalgia or grass-is-greener type of thoughts. Both cars are decent, however I chose to sell one to get my new Dakota Quad Cab, guess which one I sold? That's right, the SRT. The car simply was not as fun as paople inflate it to be. I thought the handling was horrible, and it still was sub-par after my Hotchkis swaybars. The struts were far from even near enought for the weight of the car. The stereo sucked compared to 90% of the cars I have owned, even the Dakota sounds way better. I can only imagine that you are into straight line performance becuse the SRT is not a comfortable autocrosser or even twitsy road performer. I have sutocrossed for 8 years, and have done open track days and some solo racing, so I have a fair understanding of a car's capabilities. Now, with thousands of dollars into the suspension of the SRT, it would do alright. But I think the MSP is a far more capable car. It is also more comfortable and predicatble. As far as power goes, there are plenty of new parts coming out for the MSP that could put it on par with the SRT. IF that is what you are looking for. If you want a unique ride with a great balance of power, handling, comfort, brakes and did I mention handling? The MSP wins hands down.

This past weekend went to a little get together ppl in Orlando have every saturday night. There are a lot of ricers and s*** there, but there are also a lot of nice cars. There were about 12 SRTs there all parked together with ppl just hanging around. I only saw one 3.5 titanium MSP. There were 6 or 7 ppl just around the MSP. It's a cool car, and you won't see 50 of them around town... unless you live in Orlando Be unique. Keep the MSP.
Be unique. Keep the MSP.Hey I'm Allen,
I just went through the switch. I traded my yellow 03.5 MSP (stripped off all my aftermarket parts) for an SRT-4 last week. The main reason I did it was because I was having some weird electical problems with it. When I lauched it my whole car would almost die and the dealer wasn't going to touch it w/ all the aftermarket parts on the car. I miss the handling and the stereo of the MSP. I do have to admit, after putting all that stuff on my MSP to get it fast the SRT-4 stock is still faster then what my MSP was fixed up. When I get on second and third gear on the SRT-4 I can't wipe the grin off of my face(evil) it just keeps pulling. I'm planning to hit the suspension first on this car, Mopar stage one springs and swaybars. Then its going to be Mopar stage 2 performance w/ the toys for the performance department.
It's all up you to on what your looking for. Like I said I do missing the stereo and handling ( but I can change that). But I can't change the looks inside (fells like a rent a car), but the seats are comfortable!! (I almost fall asleep in them) They wrap around you like race seats.

Hey mazdaspdprotege! Yeah I've been hiding out for a while.(glare) I still came and read the forums here and there. I just needed a little break from here, just seeing the same subjects being posted over and over and over and over got old after a while. I got rid of my mazdaspeed last week for a SRT-4 and have a couple of parts left to sell. But I'll be around post here and there again.mazdaspdprotege said:
