I am going to share that paradigm with as many as possible. This 355 HP SRT-4 is a lot of fun and I will enjoy it to the fullest for it is only a temporary phase.
I agree and enjoy!!!

I built stage 2 srt-4 for my wife to tool around in.The car is sick!!I eat up evos all day with it. I also did a 05 STI with 450hp@22lbs,that was sick,but traded in for a c55.The srt-4 was crazy fun to drive.Eatin up cars 2 and 3 times the price is just funny. Watching peoples faces in m3's,evos,mustangs,etc getting beat by a neon is awesome.

IF he is driving and E500 and a C32, I am sure he doesn't have a problem paying his billz..... So once again at the end of the day, he's still driving a neon......

Driving a Neon car lengths in front of the soon to be suicidal car snobs of the world.

If it was'nt so traction limited ,you'd be surprised at what a 400-500whp SRT-4 could do! Z06 would simply be nothing to fear.

It is going to be quite a challenge to unengineer the wheel hop associated with the traction limits and inherent front suspension design. However, I found a company that upgrades the lower A arms with solid bushings and spherical heim joints so the car won't go into severe toe out situations under hard acceleration. Dropping the chassis 1.5 inchs and running S02As are about the only options. Thanks for the positive support. It is always good to meet another car nut who can look beyond the moniker.
