why the name "neon killer"?
i mean, i think there is a certain neon out there that will smoke the sh*t outta our cars... :cwm27:

yes i do believe they are new to 04' and as far as a neon beating me...i am not to sure about that....i smoked them in my 200sx...i would kill them in my spec-v

have you heard of the "SRT4"?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????

yes those are nice seats, wish mine came with em

have you heard of the "SRT4"?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????
regaurdless it is still a shity neon with a small ass turbo...they will be shit in a few years when min is till running strong!!!

I agree. An SRT-4 is still just a NEON!
Japanese cars will always be vastly superior!

who are you guys kidding?!?

the SRT-4 is fast as hell...

i have not driven one, but did you know that it can pull even and pass a USDM STI at 150 mph? STOCK VS. STOCK
that sh*t blows my mind. and the SRT4 is only $20k!

they've had fewer probs than us 02,03 spec owners too.
04 specs do look like they are running strong. but can't you have respect for both cars, and not call the SRT4 an inferior domestic POS neon...?

It's quite ignorant to say that, as a whole, Japanese vehicles are superior to American vehicles. Furthermore, in a global marketplace like today it really doesn't make any sense being that so many Japanese cars are designed and manufactured in America. I'm not going to bother going into the finer points as the sheer unabashed ignorance illustrated in stuff like the above post "LOL JAPANESE CARS WILL ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR LOL" demonstrates that reasoning skills may not be an ability some possess or understand here.

For the record, the SRT-4 has a ridiculously well-reinforced bottom end that allows for the addition of factory MOPAR upgrades bringing its output up as high as 300HP. Of course, tuners are already making upwards of 400 stable horsepower on it with no internal engine modifications necessary. Dodge is actually playing with the idea of releasing an AWD edition reminiscent of the old 1g/2g Talon/Eclipse/Laser platform except more in direct competition with the likes of the STi.

I'd be very hard pressed to remember any instances of a Spec V ever triumphing over an SRT-4. You'll have a lot of work ahead of you if you ever intend to live up to your name, neon_killer.

have you heard of the "SRT4"?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????

I HATE NEONS! They are girls cars regardless of what anyone says. I will give Dodge props for the engine, but put forced induction on a DE let alone a VQ, you'll smoke most Dodges out thar.

yes because the QR25DE's are built soooo strong to handles boost... :rolleyes:

VQ? that would add another 5k which would bring the total price to twice that of an srt-4.

i would certainly hope that a car that costs twice as much could win a race.

I think you guys missed the point, theres a new 04 spec in the family. Congrats man!!!

hey thanks shorty i love my car!!! and far as the neon goes...I DONT LIKE THEM!!!

Congrats on the new Spec.
They are great cars.

I have an 02' and still love it.

As far as the Neon SRT-4 goes...
Stock they make more horsepower, more torque, and even weight less.

Now as for one keeping up with an STI, that I am not sure about.

But I have to say that despite the added power, they are still Neons, Neons are ugly in my book.

Also, aren't the SRT-4's all wheel drive already?
I thought SRT-4 was Street, Road, Track and 4 wheel drive.

no the srt is not all wheel drive

That is a sweet 04' I am from the honda forums but im lookin at getting a new car, i love the spec-v's always have. As for the SRT-4 beating an STI i belive it the Wrxs' are shit after about 85mph they have no top end. I rode in my friends and he couldnt pull on anything after he hit 4th.

well the 02,03 srt-4s are slightly slower than the STI at any speed, but i think the 04's are about even from a high roll.
man, i gotta tell you tho, the STI is faaaast. i've had the chance to put over 100 miles on my dad's, and it pulls in 4th like my spec pulls in 2nd.

i definitely like the 04 srt-4's tho, LSD = mandatory.

I hate neon's too, but I think I hate Cavaliers even more. But no matter what, there's no denying that the SRT-4's a fast car. They are light with a lot of power and torque. They've smoked many many Prelude VTEC's. I still don't know how an SE-R (not spec) stack up to a Prelude VTEC cuz I still yet to see that. But anyway back on track. I think today while I was reading Sport Compact Car mag...or maybe another mag, I read about a srt-4 hitting 600hp, I don't know if they did anything on the internals or not, but that's definetly fast. But if you really wanna kill some srt-4's without too much money...go nitros :-P

I've got to tell you this since you brought up NOS. My buddy "attempted" to race his slighlty modded Prelude against an Eclipse running NOS and the kid (looked like he was 16) killed it trying to launch. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

I've seen the Eclipse up close at shows its a nice car just needs a better driver.

cool spec I have a 2003 Spec but I am looking to get an 05 if they change at all
