Time to kill the SRT-4
- Thread starter AZMSP84
- Start date
Hey I started and drove an SRT4 today - it's a foul, vicious creature... but LOOK at the BONES! Well, can the neon expect to claim supreme sport compact power just because somebody threw an open exhaust on it? It farts in our general direction... its mother was a k-car and it's father smelt of diesel fuel. BUT... none shall pass... for those foolish enough to attack the SRT-4 of Antioch, death awaits us all, with big sharp pointy teeth... ugly, foul smelling, farty-sounding death, but its hard to argue with those horsepower numbers... and vicious bastard seats...

there's one on my street... we eyeball each other all the time.
all right
ive been holding back but...........
i wnt some of the guys on the forum to remember for me as we go back in time to the good ol days when dodge tried this before
remember the lazers back in 88 ( ithink) when they claimed 225 hp turbo .
go search that for a while and let me know how that turned out for dodge and there forged internals.
its a POS and always will be.
an engine doesnt make a car. the suspension does!
evry well informed ase certified master tech and engineer will tell you that.

well i didn't guess this topic would become that big of an issue but anyway. I didn't find much in my search except that i have to order the rods and pistons in order to get them. And i guess there are no stroker kits as well. All i am looking for is to see what is out there dor my car. I have done a lot of things to my car and i am trying to see what else is left to do. That is all. Any more info would be greatly appreciated!

IM a Japanese dude by heart. I have owned 2 conquest, 1 accord(beat car 85), Supra mkiv TT (ultimate driving machine) and I currently own an MKIII supra as well as the srt-4. And I can honestly say that the srt-4 is a very powerful car. There is an 8 second srt runing around and it has a stock bottom end besides the pistons. The crank and rods are stock.
As for the suspention on the SRT-4, I personaly think it sucks because I prefer RWD over FWD any time of the day. I know though for a fact that the neons do very well in there class as in SCCA so I dont think the suspention can be that bad?

Is it mean to say that I think they're ugly? 
Just my humble opinion. I must retire for the night, although I feel the need to watch some Python now.
I'd love to see how my car compares to a SRT-4 in the end, but I don't know if I would go looking for the challenge. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid, I just figure if I'm supposed to go on a quest looking for the holy grail (a sub compact with 200+ hp). All I have to say is . . .
"I've already got one!"
Have a great night and keep up the entertaining threads!

On my way home coming back from the strip, I saw a brand-spank`n new SRT-4 zig-zagging in and out of traffic. From what it looked like......this dude was trying to catch up with me for a race down the blvd.
We both came to a light....and I dusted him as soon as the light hit green!!!(fight)
He was doing good for a bit of the way, and nearly caught up to me. Then I heard "SCREEEEECH", "BANG"!!!!
The jackass was`nt looking where he was going, and smacked into an off duty cop(omg) !!!!
I thought that the SRT-4 was an U-G-L-Y car to begin with, but when the whole front end gets smashed in....it does improve the looks a bit.(laugh)
I guess when it comes down to it....what really matters is how well you handle your ride.
(mspb)
I`ll take my MSP over the SRT-4 any day!!!!

Hector: The Neon ACRs do ok in autox, they can be made to handle.
The SRT-4's (and the ACR's) biggest handling problem is the open diff. Coming out of a turn, you can't put down the power with an open diff on an autox course. You just light up the unloaded wheel and make lots of tire smoke, unless you're very patient...and slow.

Hello? This thread is supposed to be about beefing up an MSP...a topic I'm interested in as well...now if only someone had the money, time and balls to actually take on such a project...enough about the srt-4...lets hear about people getting Serious power out of their MSP/ MP3 / Pro / P5.

The problem I have is the torque steer if the wheels are turned. As for not putting on the power, thats remidied with the stiff engine mounts that just came out for our car. Makes a huge difference. The stock mounts totaly suck and already soem have cracked.
Now back to teh topic! Whats the highest boost before I blow rods on the msp? Dont want to blow my buddies car.
9psi?

Scene 1: Month Python And The Holy Grail
King Arthur: Whoa there!
[clop clop clop]
Soldier #1: Halt! Who goes there?
Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
Soldier #1: Pull the other one!
Arthur: I am, ...and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
Soldier #1: What? Ridden on a horse?
Arthur: Yes!
Soldier #1: You're using coconuts!
Arthur: What?
Soldier #1: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through--
Soldier #1: Where'd you get the coconuts?
Arthur: We found them.
Soldier #1: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
Arthur: What do you mean?
Soldier #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.
Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
Soldier #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
Soldier #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
Soldier #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
Soldier #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
Arthur: Please!
Soldier #1: Am I right?
Arthur: I'm not interested!
Soldier #2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
Soldier #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.
Soldier #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
Arthur: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?!
Soldier #1: But then of course a-- African swallows are non-migratory.
Soldier #2: Oh, yeah...
Soldier #1: So, they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway...
[clop clop clop]
Soldier #2: Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?
Soldier #1: No, they'd have to have it on a line.
Soldier #2: Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper!
Soldier #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
Soldier #2: Well, why not?
King Arthur: Whoa there!
