Cobalt or srt?

What do you guys think is a better car for the money a supercharged cobalt or a srt-4? I've test driven the cobalt and I loved it but havent driven the srt. I was set on the cobalt but then I got to thinking that I dont know much about blowers and an srt is still turbo and I know alot about that. Any opnions?

srt, better platform

Problem is I hate neons

I like the srt ALOT, but I would try something different.

I vote the cobalt. Superchargers are real nice. Especially the whine that it makes at WOT. Its really sexy

Srt-4. Eventhough everyone and their mother has one, it's still a great platform to work with :2cents:

SRT 4 DEALER INSTALLED level 3 package is 300 at wheel horse! AND FULLY COVERED BY WARRENTY! I HATE HATE HATE neons but i would deff drive up in a srt4 then a ss cobalt! IMO

Well I think I'll test the srt-4 before I make a decision. This is the thing though. The only racing that I'd be doing is some autox and maybe some track but probably not to much if any dragging. Also I'm getting a rocket to so whatever car I get I'm getting because it has the options that I want and economy not because I could make it really fast

A glorified neon or a glorified "cavalier"? I'd choose a older Evo 8. I have yet to hear reliability issues about them unless you modify the piss out of them.

well then the cobalt will be brand spankin new and the srt4 will be used.. they dont make them anymore do they? my friend is selling a nice ass 03 blue srt4

That would be great but I have yet to find one under $25k and the MOST I'd spend is around $20

You knew that BOV would get me didnt you :lol:

Damn you guys. After doing some searching I can pick up a '03 srt-4 with the stage 2 package rims and a viper alarm for $15,5 with 20k miles.
EDIT: anyone know what year they started putting in the quaifes?

'04

Well hell, I guess I might have to check them out then

You know me Scott, SRT4 FTW. You will forget its heritage once you take a pull. I had some fuck head in a SS s/c to play with me when I was in the talon one day. Pretty sure an SRT would screw it. I think they are both mean looking cars but I have a thing for 4 doors. I agree with E-Klips, Evo 8 owns all. Thats what I will be getting after college. You should be able to find one for around 20-22k if you look, I cant imagine a Cobalt SS s/c for less than that. The SRT woud be the cheaper route.

thats the car man, i love that sound and he gets that revin to 2500 rpm. so it does it when he has vac or boost, its niceeee

I think your right, srt-4 FTW

ftw?

For the win

i think it would be the best low price fast car you could get right now in ur situation with getting a bike...

Thor found an evo for $20 but its in IL and I cant go that far :(.

Yeah I would definatly say go with the SRT....they are going to be much more familiar to you since you already know turbo setups....superchargers are cool...my dad has a supercharged Mini Cooper S....that car is bad ass....and it sounds great....but it still doesnt compare to the sound of a turbo....and you can make SRTs fast for pretty cheap....

Pontiac G5

That was pretty random

Srt-4

Pontiac Blows Assssss

Srt4

You know what else you could do, a Mazdaspeed 6. 2.3l turbo AWD. I dont know how much they are though...

Nevermind its not a Mazdaspeed

problem is I dont know shit about it and I have no clue what it has for an aftermarket

True.... yeah, SRT4 is probably the best way to go.

I wish that black one I found was an 04+ I'd still want it but I heard without the lsd the trannies can go in them

SRT-4 all the way.

It's funny, even Dodge was a tad embarassed about the Neon nameplate...they dropped it altogether when they came out with the SRT-4... which is still a Neon on steroids, but that's besides the point...it's fast as balls. :)

Neither. Mazda 6 or a Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible. Those are my 2 favorite "reasonable" cars right now.

I'm not a convertable kind of guy. My biggest consirn now is 03 or 04 srt lol

I agree, SRT4, I have driven one, and they are pretty fast for what they are. They have some of the best bang for their buck.

But. . . . if you are looking for a fast car for under 25k, you can always pick up an 03 cobra coupe ;) Can't go wrong there, balls out fast and cheap to mod.

Is there any differences between them? I know nothing about the SRT-4, basically because I HATE neons and still see it as a beefed up neon, and therefore pay no attention to them.

Yeah, and expensive to keep fueled up.
