Boosted CRX vs SRT-4

[98StangGT]

Yea if the SRT had AWD i would have to set my horse free so to speak and get me one. And if you are talking about quartermile times my current mustang will probably run mid-high 12s with a spray. Haven't had time to take it to the track tho, it rains a lot here and I've only had it for about a month and a half or so. Just has exhaust intake and n20. Probably gonna get headers, a bigger throttle body and a plenum soon tho.

Then theres the fact that I built that crx for less than half the price of an SRT-4....

And I'm glad your penis is big enough that you don't need a V-8, it's unfortunate however that it's not big enough to fill a thimble....

It's not just Mustang guys that SRT-4s are econoboxes, though I'm sure a vast majority of them do, since mustang's were designed to be fast fun cars from day 1, not just a design farted up by a car manufacturer in order to grab the attention of a couple of tuners.

If I had a blow job for evey time I heard its just a rebadged neon with turbo I think I would have a vagina by now.......you dont have to remind me its just a neon.......you know why cause I ALREADY KNOW.....and I also know that the crx plat form was bred to get nearly 40mpg....nothing sporty in my opinion...unless a 2door hatch is your forte.....and yes the BASE NEON was built to shuffle kids to soccer practice.....and yes the SRT-4 was built to beat stock mustang gts all day long ...........and yes you could build a crx for half the price of the srt and beat it but HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL LAST......I could answer that for you bud.........not very long......been there done that......and I wouldnt know anything about mushashis penis fitting into a thimble......never saw it and I dont want too ........and if somebody told me that a v6 mustang was built to be fast since day 1....I would pick up a hand full of rocks and start stoneing him......then start

I remember back in 2003, right after the SRT-4 came out, people were dying to know if it's more powerfull than 2 cars and ONLY 2 cars...Mustang GT and Subaru WRX. My friend works at The Speed Merchant in San Jose and they had a dyno day (drum roll)...

The WRX couldn't hit 180whp. The Mustang couldn't hit 200whp. But the "Neon" hit almost 220whp. Hmmm.

BTW...who wins the battle for #1 rental car? Is it the V6 Mustang or the base model Neon?

Agreed 98mustangGT, we are having just a car vs car debate. Many people with imports carry cameras around to show that v8's are often overrated. Many of these people with cameras are sick of listening to peole rave about mustang and camaros, etc. They do have something to prove and that is that contrary to popular beief (for many people with a basic understanding of cars) , many imports can take on a mustang or camaro and do it without dropping substational amounts of $$$ (not saying some imports aren't expensive).

couldnt have said it better myself......needless to say that was an 03' too....

[BadA$$Snake]

Ummm, I dunno what dyno you guys used but there is no way a Mustang couldn't hit 200 rwhp on a dyno, I just refuse to belive it...lets take a 2000 model Gt, with a 5 speed, 260 o the fly...no way that over 60 hp will get lost enroute to the wheels...? If anyone can explain the percentage of parasitic loss that'd be great. not saying the SRT couldn't hit 220, just wanna knwo what teh hell the Mustang couldn't pull 200 for.

[209 SRT]

cause its a mustang........lol...........j/k

[GForce957]

60 hp is kinda hard to lose from a GT

If the SRT-4 was AWD or RWD, then that would be a strong contender for my money, but its not. Still, great performance for the money

[209 SRT]

If I had the choice of having the srt built AWD or RWD I think I would choose neither........I have grown to love FWD cars even if I really cant get traction in my first two gears.....but if they made a AWD version or RWD version it would have been interesting....

[98StangGT]

K for starters my GT dynoed 236 rwhp when I first got it. So the thing about not being able to make 200 rwhp is total crap. Maybe the people at your brother's work or whatever accidentally got a v-6 mustang. And if you are trying to prove that the SRT-4 is the better car to buy by the fact that more people rent neon's than v-6 mustangs, you might want to think of more convincing arguments. Do you think somebody ready to buy a new vehicle thinks about which car is rented more often? Give me a break.... seriously

[TatII]

haha yeah, the last bodies GT's dynos around 220-230whp stock. the current SRT 4's dynos 230whp stock. close call.

I think he means more people rent neons more than v6 stangs for different purposes such as gas ml, room, ect.......

[Musashi3000GT]

maybe it was one of those dynos that takes like 20 hp right off the top. you know one of those MUSTANG dynos

actually the next generation SRT-4 is AWD. but Dodge really messed this one up. they made it into a nasty looking hatch back with a flat pig-nosed front. It comes as an AWD 2.4 or a 2.0 diesel option. Its called the Callibur and will be the next SRT-4 in 07 I believe.

speaking of guys with Mustangs shooting videos. Has anyone seen the vid of the TT mustang GT smoking a Hayabusa on the highway, holly crap did that pony pull.

[CBFryman]

Maybe people rent neons because they dont make 4dr mustangs, v6 mustangs are garbage, and the Neon gets better MPG.

Whoopty flip.

I dont like the SRT-4 for one simple reason, the drivers aditude.

Saying you cant compare an SRT-4 to a Neon because the M3 was bassed ofthe 325i or w/e cars you want to throw it is assanine.
At least the 325i has a more fititng chassis for perfomance, where as the neon does not.

A Boosted CRX beat a jackass's SRT-4. and this sparks argument? Whoopty flip.

It would be the same if a Boosted CRX has beaten a new Mustang GT... "H0ly Shizz !!!1111oneoneone D@ cnt hoppen, Joo"

"Holdy Shizzle it dizzle!1111!1 R3!ice bets allzzz"

If the SRT-4 where AWD it would be dynoing bewlow 200whp or right at 200whp...and then your argument agianst the WRX is flawed.

But WHP doesnt matter if the car is a boat... a FWD vehicle with 220whp and weighs nearly 3000lbs got beat by a car with probably just as much or more WHP and weighs 1000lbs less.

So im just rambleing but w/e

[CBFryman]

WAIT WAIT WAIT!

HOW THE FUCK IS THE SRT-4 DYNOING 220WHP WITH 215BHP!

i didnt know dodge was so advanced that the transmission actually had negative friction.
