Default Smoked an SRT4

From a light he came up and looked over at me, then honked. I didn't stage, I did nothing but hit the gas and I smoked him by 3 cars up to 80mph. It must have been a stock one. But none the less I still smoked his ***. I am getting my H-Pipe put on sometime this week.

Good kill, but are you sure he was actually trying to run you right then off the light? We got a couple local guys around here in srt4's no one ever wants to mess with....350WHP+ lol. One of them a re-tuned and pumped 430ish. Dont under estimate them all since you caught one off guard and smoked him.

SRT-4's are stupid cars, who cares if they have engines with a lot of potential..I wouldn't want to be caught dead in one of those little **** roaches.

Nice kill

You say that now...go run one in your little 6-gun and let us know the out come K. Make sure it's a stock one also. Maybe after it smokes you, you wont bash on them so much.

Nice kill man....with a little work those things can flat out go! I got beat by a couple of them when I had my 03 GT vert....I had mods, but it was too heavy. Anyway, nice kill man.

I know he was trying to run with me. He initiated the race. I really didn't even try and I smoked him. I have beat a few modded ones at the track (Have on tape to prove it). They are fast....If they can find traction, if not you will be long gone before he does. I even spun in 1st and 2nd and I still beat him.

You did see me say "Who cares if it has potential", right? It's a neon, if it's fast or not...it's a neon..

Zig, I agree with you. Any smart person would NOT bash on a car that would smoke them. I'll bash honda's like anyone else but when it comes to a 700+FWHP one...i'm not gonna bash it i'll give it props! As for SRT-4's yea it's still a neon..but it's a neon i would respect over a SXT neon!

I actually kinda like the SRT-4. I've seen some pretty sweet ones around where I live. I'd like to have one as a DD.

Hey Pcola....here's a friendly STFU from me to you.
Hey, sorry If I sound like I'm bashing stuff, but I'm just being honest, better than BS'ing, you have no idea how many riced out Neons and SXTs are around here, so I don't think much of them ,even if the SRT-4 is faster than my POS V6, I could care less.

But then again, speed isn't everything in a car, a lot of people don't recognize that.

edit: I guess I have been kind of an *** hole today but that's probably because I've been kinda upset because a jackass in a celica almost plowed into me..

The Neon SRT-4 was replaced by the Dodge Caliber SRT-4 with 300hp

Stang00, PM me about your honda

Dodge will end up bringing the neon back due to it having a good reputation and a great selling car. When they introduced the srt4 turbo...it was like the 99-00 civic SI's everyone had to have one. Then they did the SXT to look like the srt4 minus the wheels and turbo along with interior, the less fortunate kids baught that one to "look" like they had a srt model. Either way it's a good car for a DD.

Ok Mr. "Your car doesn't have as many mods as mine so your opinion doesn't matter".

Are you sure that the Caliber replaced the SRT-4? Because the Caliber looks more like an SUV and you usually don't see a truck replacing a car, maybe they're just cancelling the Neon SRT-4 and coming out with a vehicle that uses the same engine?

He is correct
The Caliber has replaced the neon in the lineup, while it does look like an SUV, sit is short and small... a really nice car that is allready on the road. And the SRT-4 version pictured is going to be pretty cool.

I respect the speed of an srt-4, but that doesent change the fact it is an ugly little ****ing neon bunny lookin thing and you wouldnt catch me in one of those EVER.

****, GIVE me an SRT-4 and you will see it on Ebay UNDRIVEN.

they LOOK totally retarded and ARE totally retarded.

SRT-4 is on the same level as a VW beetle to me. I dont care about thier performance, it is a stupid lookin car that makes the driver look even stupider.

i dont have a problem with a little econobox souped up, but for christs sake, the NEON?.... Why couldnt they make an SRT-6 version of the Stratus? At least that is a decent lookin car.
Exactly my point dude...but of course since I have a v6, I obviously am not allowed to "Bash" a car that's faster..not necessarily a NICER car than mine, just one that's faster.

But don't worry, no one is going to flame you for that post because according to Blk02stang, you car has to be faster than the one you're criticizing in order for it to be a justifiable statement.

Dunno..some people just have ****ed up logic


Hell the only reason they call it the SRT-4 is probably because if they called it a Neon turbo no one would buy it because Neons are such crap.

My son has the first year SRT4, he paid like, 15,000 for it through the military. That little thing is fast, and for the money, you can't beat it. Now, I have to get my stang blown to even think of racing him. I can't believe you dusted one with your car the way it sits. He was not trying, and if he was, he can't drive the thing. I was always a Mopar man, I just left the dark side, and own a stang now, but I'm having trouble finding the same thrill of my old HEMI with this car. Someday I'll be blown and maybe all will fall into place for me. As they say, "I have the need for speed", and I will never out grow that.
