Cheapo "Sporty" cars

[kman10587]

People and their misconceptions...the SRT-4's 2.4 turbo has been used by MOPAR in drag racing for years now, and what you get on the streets is basically a massively de-tuned pro dragster engine, so it can definitely handle big power.

The handling sucks? That explains why the car has been doing incredibly well in open-class rally and autocross.

the srt.... i would absolutely love the car if it didn't look so much like a neon, call me vain but i wont care a damn about the guys 'doors i just blew off' if the girls down the street are laughing at my neon look-a-like sports car. If power was my only concern i would go right ahead with something like a srt-4 but only if i couldn't find an evo, sti, or vr-4 first.

Definately Srt-4 for that price range and performance capabilities...What comes second doesn't matter. It flies as a sleeper and for the price gives some awesome numbers. Personlly I love the evo and sti more but its not in this comparison...Sooooo neon (ugh I hate saying that word, like "creams")

its a neon. whether you chose to believe it or not, its a neon. NOthing you say is going to change that. Is doesnt matter how many races you win or how you modify it. Its still a neon. It looks like a normal neon with a body kit. With the wealth of aftermarket parts (turbos included) for the RSX and the factory supercharger (plus many other parts to come) with the Scion, getting 230/250 is not impossible. I like the SRT-4, but its a neon.

RSX/tc - tied for #1
if its the type s, the rsx wins easily.

Who cares if it's a Neon, it's still fast. It's more fun to have a slow car running fast times anyways.

With the SRT-4, you also get MOPAR's performance support (www.mopar.com).
We can expect a supercharger and maybe some suspension parts from TRD for the tC, but I think that would be about the end of it. The xA's and xB's optional accessories and performance parts aren't that impressive at all. I expect about the same half-ass effort for the tC as well, maybe a bit better.

[kman10587]

Yeah, the tC is definitely not gonna be the performer that the SRT-4 is, but look at the features list! It's like a damn Lexus.

You can't say that GM makes bad cars just because people take them to shitty dealers/garages for tune-ups

pop cans ? you f*%kin yankee , you sound just like my family up in chicago ...

LOL I've heard the pop can story before. I'd take a SRT-4 before anything else on that list. Who gives a crap if it looks like a neon with a kit, my z24 looks like a '90 cavy with a kit, but anyone who knows cars knows it fast same with the SRT-4.
