Woohoo the evo and subaru can beat it off the line however, in the distance the srt4 will kill it. in addition, the srt4 has a stage three upgrade bringing (wat i presently got) up to 300 pounds of torque and 300 hp...i haven't ran it at the track but i bet u anything i will give sube and evo a run for its money. oh by the way the upgrade was only 5k so i paid 25k for a faster car :0)

in the end, it's still a neon.:loser: :lol:

i'd still rather have an awd lancer or sti over the neon, any day anywhere. hell, i'd rather have the plain old wrx over the neon. that's just me though. if you like it, good for you. it's faster than anything else in its price range, and many other cars above it. just not my style.

hey locobori86,

I heard that the stage 3 turbos from DCX were illegel and they said that said that it was for off-road use only. Al so doesn't the stage 3 put it at more than 300 hp.
At least thats what they said at DodgeTalk -


"The stage 3 makes in off road use only. DCX said that they are in the making of it, but it then deletes its street legal status. If I remember right they said it would then make it 3-350 HP, not positive about that though."

Polygon

Yes, the stage 3 kit is not street legal for one reason, they remove your cat. Keep the cat and you will still be street legal.

Congrats on your SRT-4 man! :smile:

Alright, this is the second time you have posted a flame. Stop post bullcrap like this. If you had a brain you would know that your car is no match for an SRT-4, unless it isn't stock. If not then lets see the mods list. Also, I don't want to see anymore ignorant bashing of Dodge from you.

Well the stage 3 supposed "300" hp is just a number they handed out, b/c if you guys know about what the stock SRT-4's are dynoing at, then 300 crank HP is just a few hundred dollars away from the totally stock setup. Most new SRT-4's hit 220 WHP and 245 WTQ, which is right at what the thing is supposed to make at the crank. A boost controller, a better wastegate and BOV setup, and maybe some exhaust work and that thing is already at 300 crank HP...

If they would have just installed a limited slip diff, it'd be all good. At least they're going to offer one from MOPAR performance.

The '04s have the LSD factory installed. :) Of course, the '04 is a bit more expensive...

and if you make a skyline fast is still just a skyline.......


if you did not know the standard skylines are nothing better than a everyday normal sedan......only the GTRs are the super fast skylines we are familiar with.....but hey in the end is still just a skyline....

Gradyman25
07-11-2003, 12:50 PM
nothing is special about it, thats the point, if your comparing the stock 4 door skyline, you have to compare it to the stock 4 door neon, not the srt-4, think about it, who wants a stock 4 door neon over a stock 4 door skyline, maybe my grandma cause she doesnt know the difference. if i walk into a parts store and ask the guy at the counter for some parts to my neon, do you think hes going to be impressed, no, but as soon as the word skyline comes out of someone's mouth everyone's head's turn, see if you would have just compared it to something else besides the skyline, like a sentra or something, you would have been alright

1)I understand your analogy, and yes it was a bad one but thats ok

2)All i am saying is that you should have used a different car in your analogy

For instance: if you make a ferarri fast, its still a ferarri. now see how retarded that sounds. Neons have never been know for their speed, they've been known for their reliability, cost, and good gas mileage and things of this sort.

Back to the original poster, congrats on your new car, hope you have fun driving it.

ok let me put it again...look how simple the basic skyline is and how fast the GTr is....

same ideea....look how simple the neon is on how fast the srt-4 is......


what i mean is....the base of the car does not matter.....how it performs after the factory upgraded its important....


and a base ferrari will be amazing no matter what....

Hey locobori
What upgrade did you pay 5000 for? Certainly wasn't a stage 1 kit. They retail for $399. Mopar just came out with it too. Someof you seem to think that there is already a stage 3 kit out. The stage 2 kit isn't even out yet. Yes, the info is out on them though. Check out www.mopar.com and get the low down.

The point is that a lot of fast compacts are based on econo cars. The GT R34 is based on the Skyline which is used as a Taxi cab in Japan. Only the GTR is anything to get worked up over. The WRX and WRX STi are based off the Impreza an econo car. The Evo is based on the Lancer, another econo car. Same goes for the Neon.

The point was not to judge a car by its name. People have done that to my car and paid the price. Just because it shares the name does not mean that it is the same car.

Heres the bottom line... They don't sell skylines in America, so if you go to the parts store they will say you are shit out of luck... Second a stock neon is hardly comparable to a SRT-4... A fast car is a fast car.. You'll get respect from anyone just for that. Sure, a skyline is cool, but only because they are rare... As for the WRX and evo, sure those are nice cars. so what, everyone has one and paid through there ass to have it. I don't like Subaru's because they are associated with geaks.. And i find this to be true... Every person i know with a STI or just a plain WRX is a geak... Plus theres nothing special that stands out about a regular WRX.. It's AWD which is nice for the launch... Thats it... The STI is for sure a better car than the SRT-4, but it cost 30k.... I don't know about you guys, but thats not affordable for me.. People that say bad things about the SRT-4 are just antimidated by it... I've driven the car many times and i'm aiming to buy it soon enough... I personally find no flaws in it.. Other than no electric rear windows... They are roll ups.. i imagine they did that for cost and weight savings.. Other than that, the seats are amazing, the gauges are nice, its handles well, and its the second fastest car made by dodge, and the fastest for its price... Also, where can you get the stage 3 kit from, i've been looking all over and the only thing out is the stage 1... I don't believe that kid that said he payed 5k when he bought his SRT and had the stage 3 kit installed... the stage 1 kit is 400.00 bucks... what comes in the stage 3 kit, another car?

Bloodhungry
07-19-2003, 09:27 PM
I just emailed Mopar performance asking them when a stage 2 or stage 3 kit might come out... I personally do not see the point of buying a stage one and then buying a stage 3 later.. thats a waste of money.. Hopefully the stage 3 will come with a programmed PCM like the stage 1... I guess the stage 1 kit puts out 240 whp as it is stated on mopar performance... So thats an increase of about 17-20 hp over stock.. Not bad for 400 bucks... so with a stage 1 kit that would be about 288 horsepower at the crank.. I think thats a good mod for the money... I'll post with his response..

1.) A skyline is not "cool" just because it is rare. And if you think so, you are ignorant about it. You drive a cavailer also, so you have no say in what is "cool".

2.) I own a WRX and I'm not a "Geek" You are because a.) you say "geek" and b.) you cant even spell geek. And AWD drive cars are not nice for the launch. You obviously have never tried to launch an AWD car...

3.)I have respect for the SRT-4, I would never buy one, and I will say some bad things about it, but in no way am I "antimidated" as you spell, by the neon.

I'll race one anyday, especially in the snow.

And what the hell does "i gran turismo 3 and because they are rare" mean. Looks like all you domestic lovers have bad grammer.

Even on dry pavement. With professional drivers, yeah the Z06 could hold it's own, but most people, incluiding all of us, aren't professional drivers, and a car that automaticlly distributes power among all 4 wheels as necessary would make it much easier to drive fast. Or in the real world, with broken pavement and dirt and gravel on parts of the road...

Don't be a hypocrite and practice what you preach. And you misspelled “grammar.”

As for the Z06 vs. Skyline debate, have you seen the Best Motoring video of two AE86s beating a GTR34 on the track? The Skyline didn't seem overly impressive to me. I think that the Skyline is the best car that Japan has to offer, but I think that is well over hyped about what it can do by ricers.

I also must add that Chrysler owns 85% Mitsubishi, so it is a Chrysler turbo under the hood in essence. And the Neon is a boy racer car just like the STi, Evo, and WRX.

Actually, DC owns 85% of the voting stock, and 35% of Mitsu... But you're right. There are precious few companies (if there are any) that can claim that they have built more turbo cars than Chrysler. And what car company, other than Mitsu makes their own turbos anyway?

Trying to say the SRT-4 is less American (or more Japanese) by pointing out that the turbo was made by Mitsubishi is really reaching, folks. It's like saying the Japanese auto industry is American because we first taught them to build cars. Try harder.

I didn't say it was less american because it has a Mitsubishi turbo :rolleyes: I said it's a 4 cylinder, FWD, Turbo economy car. It's the exact same type of car those "japmobiles" are. So to put down the Japanese cars while praising the SRT4 is just rediculous.

First, "4 cylinder, FWD, Turbo economy car" certainly doesn't make me automatically think of Japanese cars. Second, the SRT-4 is in the spirit of Dodge turbo cars, not Japanese economy cars. Third, did it ever occur to you that some folks actually /prefer/ American cars, and happen to bash foreign cars because of that?

I don't personally agree with that behaviour, but I deal with it because I prefer American cars. For the reason that I don't like to hear that crap about MY car, I stay out of Honda, Toyota, Mitsu, et al forums. In other words, I'm willing to wade through the mindless bashing as long as I don't have to read it concerning MY car.

I'm willing to bet you wouldn't say a damn thing if someone in a Subaru forum said the same about American cars.

The mudslinging goes BOTH ways, and there is no fighting it. If you don't want to read it, go to another forum.

Read carefully, fool... I don't drive an import, yet I drive a 4 banger, FWD car. Why, then, would I automatically think foreign? It's not like US automakers are new to FWD...

Besides, "4 cyl, FWD, turbo, economy car" makes me think of all those turbo Mopars from the '80s.

1st of all, you have no idea how many times I've defended the SRT4 in other forums. Yes even Subaru forums. Want links?

So when somebody says something about "American muscle" to you, you automatically think of turbo Omnis and Cavaliers? Please... American performance is associated with big displacement RWD machines, and Import performance is associated with FWD turbo small displacement. You really aren't grasping this concept very well are you? Did I say "The SRT4 is the 1st turbo 4 cylinder car America has ever built"? Did I say "Dodge copied the Japanese companies to make the SRT4" No, to both. I said they are the same type of car, they appeal to the same type of driver, and they share the same spirit.

That's alright, I'll take your word for it. You certainly never defended the SRT-4 /here/, though.

Now you're just putting words in my mouth, and confusing the issue. Nobody said anything about "American Muscle".

American performance is associated with big displacement RWD machines, and Import performance is associated with FWD turbo small displacement.

To you, maybe, but not to me. I know enough about automotive history to pigeonhole like that.

You really aren't grasping this concept very well are you?

Look who's calling the kettle black.

Show me where I wrote those two things.

When I think of the SRT-4, I certainly don't think of imports. Rather, I think of Chrysler's history of making fast cars by putting turbos on 4 cylinder engines. Remember the Omni GLH, the Turbo Daytona, and even the Dodge Spirit R/T turbo.

Incidently, Chrysler has sold more cars with turbos than any other company in the world. So when I think of turbos, I think Chrysler.

Chrysler has been turbocharging cars since the late 70s. The RX3 came out in the early 70s long before the sport compact scene, the Datsun 510 was never a sport compact, and the Civic and Beetle were econo cars that were smaller than sport compacts and neither had aftermarket for being fast. They were both far from being fast.

if you fix up a civic its still a civic, if you build up your car it is no lobger what you first bought it is what you now have and if it makes the driver happy thats all that matters i new a guy with a seventy somthing chevy station wagon with a 454 that was giving vettes a run for there money that wasnt still just a chevy wagon, and yes from a worldly perspective american muscle is associated with rwd v8 vettes camaroes trans ams and mustangs are the most prevelant images people talk about or recognize as american muscle, noone in any country i have been too nows about dodge spirits and ive been around and when i get drunk i can remember anything ive seen heard read or learned about cars so being a proper sailor i get drunk everywhere i go and no one has ever said anything about a dodge spirit or any other american fwd, except the new cadis
all cars rock so drive em

The stage 2 kit isn't even out yet. Yes, the info is out on them though. Check out www.mopar.com and get the low down.


THANK YOU!!! it only took fiddy posts for someone to realize that.
(ok so fiddy was an exaggeration but oh well!)

Get the stage 3 upgrade for the Srt4, you will void every single warranty that you have with your car. 300hp and 300tq isn't necessary when all it will do is void your warranty. Wonder why Mopar makes an upgrade package that will void your warranty. Probably because of engine and turbo problems when your car reaches around 50k miles.

The new limited slip diff. is an awesome buy when you get the 2004 srt4, because if you bought the LSD as an aftermarket thing the one mopar puts in the 2004 is well over $1,000. I was reading about it and it is almost $2,000 for install and parts. Awesome buy when they are charging you only $1,000 more.

Errr...so many things I would like to say at this moment but I will let it slide and just say this:

HP is HP....a 500HP echo is as fast as a 500HP mustang....U stupid Neon bashers need to shut up, The neon has evolved from a bottom end car to what u see now in the SRT-4....and buddy with the S14...I bet u've never raced an SRT-4 before...so my advice would be to shut up

Scatch!

HP is HP....a 500HP echo is as fast as a 500HP mustang....

Umm, no. To say that is to reveal that you lack even a basic knowledge of physics, much less how cars accelerate. Peak HP numbers, even full-on dyno graphs say very little about how fast a car is, or even how it will accelerate.

Crack a book sometime. Start with Carroll Smith.

Damn.. if you don't like domestic cars, Dodge, Neons, or anything else, stay the hell out of the domestic, Dodge, or Neon forums. Domestic vs. Foreign never ends well so don't start it. Talk crap on a drag strip, no in a forum you have no reason to be in.
I hate fanboys. See good in everything, even if there isn't much, or if there's a lot. Don't be so damn narrow-minded.
SRT-4s are good cars..
STis are good cars... etc...
Everybody should go through my car experience and learn to respect any car for what it is. Everyone should start out w/ a '95 Taurus GL and be humbled...

windows... They are roll ups.. i imagine they did that for cost and weight savings.. Other than that, the seats are amazing, the gauges are nice, its handles well, and its the second fastest car made by dodge, and the fastest for its price... Also, where can you get the stage 3 kit from, i've been looking all over and the only thing out is the stage 1... I don't believe that kid that said he payed 5k when he bought his SRT and had the stage 3 kit installed... the stage 1 kit is 400.00 bucks... what comes in the stage 3 kit, another car?

i will have to disagree with part of your statement about being dodge's second fastest car, i would say the third or fourth fastest car. The fastest is the viper, thats a gimmie. Then you have the SRT-10, but that one is debatable i guess, i dont know how you would consider that one. But the one your forgot is the Dodge Stealth RT/TT, has proven several times to go low 13s stock, most run mid 13s stock, but i've seen a stock RT/TT run as low as 13.1 before, and i really dont see a stock SRT-4 doing that. Also, on the RT/TT, with less than $100 invested in the car, you can run high 12s, now that has been done several times, so as long as you can launch the car.

STAGE 3 IS NOT AVAILABLE YET!!!! it wont be until probably next year. We were at srt-4 nationals talked to the pvo guys and they were too worried about getting stage 2 out which just came out the middle of last month. yes the perforance #'s are 300 hp 300 tq. So its kinda impossible to have stage 3 on any car but the one and only test car in michigan ....P.s. this isnt alicia its her husband...

Psst, Dodge hasn't made the Stealth is quite some time. Time to join the 21st century. ;)

Its still a neon??? Ya it is but do you got anything better than the SRT4? for 20k nothing is better!

The EVO and STI are 30k cars, if you put 10k into a SRt4 which would make it a 30k, you could be the hottest thing out there i dont care what you say!

Don't be a hypocrite and practice what you preach. And you misspelled “grammar.”

As for the Z06 vs. Skyline debate, have you seen the Best Motoring video of two AE86s beating a GTR34 on the track? The Skyline didn't seem overly impressive to me. I think that the Skyline is the best car that Japan has to offer, but I think that is well over hyped about what it can do by ricers.

I also must add that Chrysler owns 85% Mitsubishi, so it is a Chrysler turbo under the hood in essence. And the Neon is a boy racer car just like the STi, Evo, and WRX.

Dude you said right! you know your sh*t!

Dude if you are raceing the 1/4 mile, there are different classes you cant compair V8 to 4cyl.
