[/Offtopic]

Busy getting a bitching new house lined up. With a little luck and a blessing or two I shall have it all done by August 2004.
My house now is a really nice house but the new one...WILL RAWK!!!


ON topic...
I bought my MSP because it is the most well rounded car in the group.
Between the Neon and MSP I would say that I would rather have a car that achieves 90 some odd percent in all categories than 100% in the power department and 60% in all other aspects.

So if those so smitten by the dung-mobile are in disagreement, well I suppose they can cry themselves to sleep over their toilet tissue rolls.

WHO CARES ABOUT THE SRT4 ANYWAYS? ITS NOT EVEN AN IMPORT. HELL A CAMARO, A MUSTANG, A CORVETTE HELL THEY ALL ARE FASTER THAN A MSP BUT WHO CARES? NONE OF THE CARS LISTED ABOVE CAN EVEN HANG WITH THE MSP IN HANDLING. FOR THE DIFFRENCE IN PRICE BETWEEN THE MSP AND THE EVO AND STI I CAN MOD THE HELL OUT OF MY CAR. JUST WHAT I THINK NOT BASED ON ANY FACTS JUST A BUNCH OF BRAIN FARTS.

Okay okay okay...yashooa-

I don't have buyer's remorse. I don't regret buying my SRT one bit. Like I've said in other threads and in this one, I'm looking at buying a MSP for my wife, or I would have no interest in being over here....

...as for the Mazda/Dodge reliability issue, yeah Dodge may have a less reputable past in the reliability department than Mazda, but right now it seems that your MSP's are having a quite a few more problems than our SRT's. I'm not trying to start a flame war, I'm just stating the truth. So lets be cool okay?

No one buys a car for just one reason. Let's face it. That's why I bought the MSP. It's what I LIKE. If someone wants to buy an SRT, that's cool. Both are superior to the other in more than one way, and that's how it's supposed to be. When an SRT owner says that MSPs are slow for them...well agree! Just make sure they agree when you say that SRT's are ugly.

I like MSP that's why I bought it, end of discussion. as for me drag racing it's only for performance measurement. I only believe in track racing as the pure form of racing. drag racing only depends on reaction and your car and no endurance factor, but it does have its adrenaline rush. For the short attention span american, drag racing is better. for me I like F1 racing and WRC

I like the SRT-4 and I like the Mazdaspeed. But I enjoy Mazdas reputaion for reliability more than I like Dodges.

hmm, as somebody that's owned TWO ACR first Gen Neons, I have to agree with that. The couple times I autox'd the MSP there was an SRT-4 and my old ACR neons beat it like a drum as did my MSP. Then one of the ACR guys and SRT-4 guys switched cars for fun runs and the SRT-4 still couldn't keep up.

Don't even bother asking why I sold the ACR Neons. They're great cars for 36,000 miles.... The local SRT-4 in our SCCA region has spent more time at the dealer than the owner had spent driving it.

There's really no need to bash one car or the other? I myself like all types of cars. The classics, the exotics, foreign and domestic. I was contemplating buying the SRT4 or the MSP. I drove a neon before getting my MSP...it was a hand-me-down but it sufficed during college. SRT4 has the kick ass power...and I was sooo tempted. But I weighed the pros and cons.

I didn't like the fact that the back windows weren't automatic. The rims were not desireable. and the interior was lacking.

MSP small turbo...wish the engine was 2.4L. Wish the intercooler was bigger than that dinky thing they gave us. Wish the engine was revamped for more boost..instead of being a stock protege engine.

What won me over was the fact that I wanted a nice cruising car. I love the sleek styling, the big fog lights and the booming MP3 system. I liked the comfort of having all windows power and the 5 spoke racing harts kick ass. I love both cars, yet I wonder why people bash them.

The only solution is buying a Ferrari, or Porsche GT3, or a McLaren....and saying F***k you all I got the best car...LOL (hopefully no one takes offense to this)

Personal I think competition is good. Especially if yo are he underdog. It makes you work and try harder. and the goals are better. As long as the compitetion stays friendly........Bring it on!

 

[AGR]

Yeah!!

It's all about having fun, and getting along. That's the key to the success of this wonderful forum! (thumb)

For all of you that are frantically looking for more power so you can go out and whoop up on a Neon - you bought the wrong car. I have to wonder if they are as hung up on drag racing (or street racing) at (for instance) the WRX forums, as many of you are.

How many of you have 'actually' gone out looking for the "Back Road Boogie", or "twisties", and have fun that way. And; I don't mean pushing the envelope, on the edge of disaster, or racing one of your friends. (no)
Check it out sometime, and see what the MAZDASPEED is really about. Or yeah! Or Autocross.

There was a reason why I liked my 103HP car!!!! It needed just a tad more power though, so I upgraded to 126HP

p.s. are you a troll?
