Dodge SRT4 Stage 3

[4001]

why is it that going fast in a staright line makes the car better than ours....did everyone who bought a MSP say they were so they could have the fastest car ever? Why is it that a car that can get to speed quicker than us automatically means its a superior car, maybe if thats all you care about but still seems like a hollow reason to say its a better car

from BBS rims and new Shocks (uhm)

it will have different sway bar's, tokico illum shocks, different spring rates.

they havent released to much info on the acr yet.

 

[vindication]

I saw the ACR at the NY auto car show. looked like a reg srt-4, but then again I didn't spend to much time looking at it. was busy looking at the Charger SRT-8

 

[genericuser]

as was I.. if they dropped a 6 speed into that srt-8 it would be mine

I dont think there's any cosmetic difference. Just a badass suspension. I dont know much about the new one, but in the 1st gen neons, the ACr package upgraded just about every piece of equipment between the steering wheel and the tarmac. Tires, brakes, suspenions, sway bars, steering ratio, wheels (I think). It was a sweet little package.

 

[bigcc63]

deep down, its still a neon, and I'd never buy one.

I agree, its still a neon............

 

[4001]

On the Dodge site they list 16 inch BBS rims, Viper Seats, ACR badge, and Competition Suspension

 

[protegeV]

I agree, its still a neon............

yeah, and an MSP is still a protege...same econo car basis as every neon, cavalier, civic, sentra, focus, and corolla out there...I bet an SRT will last longer all-around than any MSPs...all MSPs might be totalled b4 then though(lol2) I dont know which is "better" per se, but I know which one gives you more for your money

it came with Koni adjustible struts 22mm swaybar in front and a 20mm in back, also had higer rate springs
the ACR did not have any sound deadining material, and did not have AC, regular neon weighs 2600lbs ACR was around 2300lbs

The fastest dodge neon is still a first gen btw

If all you want is speed

 

[Autox MSP]

dood i owned a msp, its not all that. Or else they'd have high resale value.

 

[protegeV]

well SRTs dont have high resale value either...If u want that in a sports car buy an S2k

 

[Artur1976]

Our cars have horrible resale value noone wants them. I listed mine on the autotrader and not even 1 call. I priced it cheap too.

 

[mikeyb]

My cousin has a SRT with most of the Mopar mods which he traded a modded 02 REX in for it. Now he's trying to unload the SRT for either a STi or EVO. But the trade in value on the SRT is terrible.

 

[Shane5425]

the question though still stands... how long will it last before it starts falling apart.. if it holds up like other neons... god help them...

 

[Artur1976]

Like the MSP is build any better. At least the engine in the SRT can handle more than 10psi. I think that the pos SRT has us beat even in the reliablility depertmant.

most of the ones you see falling apart are the ones people never took care of.
the 2.4 thats in the SRT-4 is a damn tough engine, Dodge had alot of turbo cars back in the 80's, the headgaskets sucked but the blocks could hold 34psi or more with no modification. around 97 they switched to a multi layer steel headgasket in the neons, no more headgasket problems.
