I love the Neon SRT4. regret selling it but now that i have my MS3 i dont regret it at all. i love the handlin, the interiour, the engine and all. the Ms3 is awsom

 

[Fenrir]

MS3 doesn't fall apart when you turn, so it's faster.

^^^ Blahahahaha!

They are very comparable stock. The Neon is ok i mean there are trade offs for both. The skittle you cant get power windows in the rear but you can get a sunroof and heated mirrors. The MS3 power windows in rear no heated mirros or moon roof(which personally pisses me the **** off). I think the MS3 responds better to mods though.

There are some MS3's that have sunroofs; and all Mazda3's can have heated mirrows, but you have to put them in yourself. It's pretty easy and there is a 'how to' on here showing it. I believe they stopped having a sunroof in the MS3 in 2009.

***My mistake the sunroof is aftermarket in the 3's I've seen.

You cant get a sunroof from the factory. My brother in law is on this site and has an 07 speed3, and they said it's not an option because of the braces that go accross the roof. I guess they are needed because of the large amount of tourque

 

[skylar2ups]

I've just seen so many with a sunroof that I thought it was factory. My mistake.

Theres no way your near stock MS3 beat SRT-4s with modifications unless they were pulling timing from running too much boost with the Stock PCM or they were completely bad drivers.

We've already made the point that the SRT-4 Neon and the MS3 run very similar times in stock form and its a driver's race.

all i know is i havnt come across any srt thats given me any trouble

is my _________ faster that a ___________...?

the age old question!

back when i had my parents '70 SS nova (350, 4spd, posi, dark green, all factory on the outside)... there were a lot of cars faster than mine.... i just lived with it... sure, i did a few mods to make the car faster, but nothing too extreme... got it to run a 13.00 in street trim, and into the 12s with slicks, and better gas and timing....

it kind of goes like this...

get beat by someone... either learn to drive better, or upgrade your car.

if you can live with getting beat sometimes, or don't race, and just like the way the car drives, no problem! drive and be happy...

if you want to go faster, surprise more people, enjoy modding, can't stand the idea of getting beat (my dad has this version of the sickness), like to see what you can wring out of one, i say go for it!!! drive and be happy....

thats a great car! I have owned 2 chevelles and a 72 camaro as well. I love the classic chevys!

 

[Jarod7920]

Ya i wish that i could have gotten a sun roof...that is the one thing i miss the most from my old car. I know the heated mirror thing can be done but it just sucks they arent there already and arent an option. It would be nice if it came with heated leather seats too. But wish in one and s*** in the other i suppose.

My old SRT and about 10 others in this town would hand you your ass.

I know my old SRt4 put many ss camaros to shame. dynoed 312 wheel hp

MS3 is faster... my boyfriends brother had a srt4 and it was stock and i raced him stock and beat him all the times i raced him... but srt4s have potential...
