SRT4 Thread !!!!

Re: Whew...

Thanks for the review!

... In slower curves, where you have a chance to put the power down to exit, it will spin the inboard wheel pretty damn hard, with is pretty annoying. ...

Sounds like it would be a handful at the autocross, something that would eliminate it from my shopping list.

all you would need is an LSD that is being released soon.

Well. I will give up 30 or so horsepower for what I think is a far superior looking automobile. Hey Folks!! 'Just my opinion.

Are you mad that an SRT-4 (or mp3 turbo) can beat our MSP?

Personally, I don't have the Speed yet anyhow.

But, I have the same attitude when looking at buying the speed as I did when I went for the mp3.

Yes, there's faster cars. There will always be. But, when I found the mp3, and now the speed, I never once started comparing 1/4 mile times. It wasn't even a concern. I love the looks, the stereo, wheels, fogs, price, interior even before seeing it in person. And once I drove it.....SOLD. I don't care about 1/4 miles, I don't even really care about slalom speeds, and such numbers are really only for bragging rights, and "who's got the bigger dick" contests. I don't street race, I don't show off, I drive a nice car because I want to, because I'm a car guy, and I like nice cars. I don't drive cars to impress friends or strangers I don't care about. Nor do I even care about the brainless chick who gets all excited about seeing a nice car. I don't spend 30 grand to impress anyone, it's not worth it.

I came from 200hp Preludes, and V6 accords. not super performance machines by any means, but, they are quicker then the mp3 would ever be, and I knew this since day one but I didn't care.

The Mazda's just offered me a handling experience more like the vettes, and high end bmw's I've driven, all for a price that was cheaper then other cars I've gotten. The overall fit and finish wasn't quite up to the preludes, ( I'm being really picky here ) and accords, but if was fine for me considering the money I was saving. I wanted something fun to drive, easy to live with on a day to day basis, easy on insurance, and gas. And that's what I got.

the Neon, while I haven't driven it yet, but I will once they arrive. It just seems like a really rough and loud car. I'm only baseing this on what I read, and what friends have told from test driving them themselves. The Neon seems more of a weekend car. Go out on a Sat. night, play with some civics, laugh away, and park it afterwards.

If it's as rough, and loud as people are telling me, it's just not something I want to be in everyday.

The Mazda is a performance Protege. It's still a protege. Fun to drive, and has the highest grin factor for the $$$ I've seen. But it's something I can drive 7 days a week, be comfortable in all day/night, and keep for 4-5 years without worry of getting sick of it, or it driving me nuts ( assuming we get the clunk fixed )


The Neon is not.

Yeah, I'm just laughing my ballz off. If you guys don't take the rep system seriously thats fine, but don't mess around with those that do. Especialy a mod or vendor.

I'm not directing this at you toucci

I can't believe that some of you care this much! Cars is cars, and if you're a car guy you'll appreciate a car because of what it is, not because of the badge on it's ass.

The SRT4 isn't the best lookin' car on the block, but I wouldn't kick one out of bed, either. From everything I've heard, they are a BLAST to drive.

And to anyone who wants to say OMG WTF THIS IS A MAZDA BORD ITS STILL A NEON, take a moment and please pull your head out of your godddam ass

 

[Pretzellogic]

I do hate Dodge and just because I put a pic of a lancer on the board does not mean I like it or am getting one. At the same time if he is getting an SRT that is all the more reason his thread shouldnt have been on this website...

Stop trying to find fault in my conversations with other people and mind your own f-ing buisness..

Also look at the numbers which is the root of any discussion about what is the "best" the Evo has the SRT and any other competitor beat in every category.

I think 1sty's point is that it is far too easy to find fault in your argument. In fact, your arguments seem to be based purely on opinion instead of fact, and are without any sort of real, solid backup. That, combined with the fact that you just came in here and started bashing a perfectly fine car for no reason is excellent proof that you are, for lack of a better word, a chode.

Seriously, you're dealing with car people here. Opinion doesn't go far without proof. Go lie down, take your ritalin, and don't come back here until your balls have dropped and you've gotten your first ten scars.

Edit: I just realized how old this thread is. Is this guy even still here?

1) I wasn't laughing at someone giving you negative rep

2) the rep system is useless due to rampant abuse (threads where people exchange it en masse)
