The SRT, LSD or not, will murder a WRX, stock-to-stock.

hydro...ease up on the attitude, man.

Simmer down.

Too bad neon SRT-4's don't have a 20K pricetag either unless it's been ordered....They're going for dang near 30 grand here...it's rediculous..I'd never pay 30k for a neon..I don't care if it came with a spare set of sprewells and the popes shoe's...

Sup guys. This is my first post and first night reading these forums. I wanted to comment on the 30,000 amount for the SRT-4. I test drove one the other day in Dublin, Ca and its on sale for 18,999 with no dealer mark up either. As far as the test drive goes. It drove fairly well. It seemed to pull a little bit to right quite often when given some gas. The salesman with me was like 20 years old and it was his 3rd day there. So lucky me he was in a mood to try anything for me to buy the car. I ripped through the gears twice and you easily do about 85-90 in 3rd gear. I know the specs say 96mph at 3rd gear redline. Im only 5foot 7 165 lbs and the racing style seats were a very tight fit. The car having no muffler sounds really good. When down shifting you can hear very loud pops. The inside is very plain like a civic or reg. neon but hey... 20 grand and a engine like that you cant complain to much. All in all i love the fact that a american company threw a import style car into the mix worth looking at. It will only make the other companies work harder. I love the rival ways of the wrx and evo that has begun. For me personally im going with the WRX STI over everything including the RX8,evo,350z,is300 ect ect because not only does it have the most horsepower but to me its the most refined of the cars. As they say though.. opinons are like a$$holes. Everyone has one.

BTW - I have a 99 Eddie Bauer SUV because of my 3 year old daughter. Now that shes grown a little its time for Daddy to get a new toy!!!

well....the SRT-4s r pretty quick if they can beat those STis. wut about the EVO 8 and the NEW STi's, for sure they can beat the SRT-4 if they can hit 13s, but its all about the driver. Have u guys tested out the SRT-4s REAL 1/4 mile time?? im sayin around 14.2 to 14.7 wit a driver, high 13s with a good driver. but i dunno cuz i dont even drive stick.

Shinez · 07-01-2003, 01:47 AM

Lol...This is great..first..A SRT-4 can't really beat ALL Sti's...it sure as hell can't beat a 22B and it sure as hell can't beat every car within the STi chain...The SRT-4 really has no chance at the new STi either..As far as the Lancer Evolution VIII....I don't care..it's a horrible car..I hate it...I'll never like it..And I'll never uderstand what Mitsu was thinking when they were designing it..tsk tsk tsk..

There were two guys running them at the track two weeks ago when I went. Both of them were pulling high 14s and low 15s at sea level in 75 degree weather. I was impressed but not wow'd.

High 14's low 15's if you have a broken leg and arm. I was at the track last weekend and I was running at my worst time 14.3. Read up on the SRT a little bit more before you say something like that.

I actually know all about the srt, and since I saw it with MY OWN TWO EYES two weekend ago, no reading is necessary. I didn't say that's all they were capable of, I said THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE RUNNING two weekends ago at Maryland International Raceway. Another board member was there, Civic_gsr_t4 so maybe he saw them too. I don't know what the circumstances were but that's still what they were pulling, allll day long, rather you like it or not. Slips of your 14.3 pass? Where at? Conditions when pulled? And most importantly, what was your MPH?

Don't make an enemy out of me...I already dislike enough srt owners as it is

hydro628 · 07-01-2003, 12:57 PM

If I had a scanner or camera I would be more than happy to show you the 14.3. I hit 98.6 mph for that time, but I ran better times than that.

SiXPuSHA · 07-01-2003, 03:19 PM

I saw a badass SRt-4 down in daytona. Just go buy one of those 1-time use cameras from CVS

2of9 · 07-01-2003, 03:35 PM

SRT-4 are nice, but i rather see the NEW STi or an EVO8 on the road than a SRT-4. no offence to SRT-4 drivers.

Since we're on that subject, here's a direct quote from an SRT owner in their board:

I don't see how Supra's are runnin 14.2 unless their drivers are...You know..horrible...Because that's what neon SRT-4's run 14.1's and 14.2's..Last time I checked a Supra ran 13.3 in the 400M which is only 7.7 feet less than a real 1320 1/4 mile....Which is no room for .9 seconds.........
