Some may say it is nutty, but dressing the SRT-4 down to look like a regular Neon and pulling 12s in a daily driver street car should humble many a stoplight derby challenger.

I assume you HAD to get rid of one benz right?? I just don't see an RTneon as a motivator to send an E500 on it's way.

SRT-4 and you got rid of the E500? I would have had all three cars!

Good luck with that man.. I've seen a video on the net somewhere of a Mopar Stage III completely **** up running on the drag. Don't know exactly what but oil was leaking out of the exhaust pipes along with clouds of smoke.. Don't want see this to happen to you. I would have waited for the EVO X if you wanted a car like that.

Happens to the best of cars. Out of the 43 I've owned in my lifetime the only ones to strand me were my 2 C32s and a '78 International Harvester Scout II. The SRT-4s have a pretty good track record for reliability in comparison. Fundamentals of a tried and true iron block capable of holding 500 HP make me sleep easy knowing I'm only running 355 HP.
Anyway, the wing and trunk badge have been removed. Time to go hunting.

Being completely honest, the E500 wasn't near worth the money. The C32 is worth every penny even with the stranding issues. 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.
