I would like a v8, but it doesnt have to do with compensation. Why can't ppl just respect the car, and gang up on ricers and POS like Saturns?

Musashi3000GT, I would consider an SRT-4 an econobox because it is just a turboed and rebadged neon. You talk about the ratio between fast crx's to slow crx's, atleast the CRX was made to be atleast somewhat sporty. The neon was just built to shuffle kids to soccer practice and get groceries. 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.

prolly not a stage 3 stock neon though...

The SRT-4 is a performance car anyway you look at it. A lot of the haters keep calling it a "neon" but there is nothing neon about it!
Okay fine, the mustang is a "sports car" fine granted. but to say a SRT is a Neon is to say the Mitsubishi Evo is just a lancer, or the BMW M3 is nothing more then just a 325ci, or the McLaren SLR is just another SL600.
I see your point and I cant argue against reason but the gap between an SRT-4 and a regular neon is the biggest, widest, wrap around the planet gap in all of automotive history. its not like the Mustang GT and a SVT or a regular C6 and Z06. the SRT wassnt even built by dodge, the car is manufactured by PVO under solicitation of DiamlerChrysler, its an outsourced vehicle loosly built to ressemble the Neon in order to avoid licensing another badge.

what gets to me is how people are such haters. Can you imagine if I got mad at every car that was faster them me? dude I woulda had a massive heart attack by now from all the stressing!

I just caught that. I dunno dude, you wanna wager on that? how bout we put that CRX up for grabs? Im feeling preaty cocky pun intended.

Yea for the money they are a very fast car with loads of potential. Heck before I bought my new mustang a month ago I considered buying an SRT-4. But there are just too many other things to consider. I mean to me there is nothing attractive about the SRT-4, sure the body was changed a little bit, but its still a little bit too grocery-getterish. I mean let's say you're drivin around town checkin' out the hotties and you give a nice rev in your v-8 muscle car. Most people are gonna look at your car and think that its a sweet ride. But if you do the same thing in an SRT-4, only the car-smart up-to-date people are gonna know that you have a nice car. So personally, the SRT-4 would have to have something else very special about it for me to want to buy one, because I just can't get over the fact that it was born as a grocery getter (somewhat), looks like a grocery getter, and to most people who don't know better, is a grocery getter.

I'm with musashi on this. It seems like everyone I know with a V8 belives they are the shit. Even though I've seen more races of mustangs getting there ass handed to them than the other way around. (ie. GTvs 94 teg, Gtvs 300zx n/a etc.) Just because a smaller econo car is manufactured into a sports car version that could walk over most stangs doesnt mean you should hate them. In fact I'd be a little embarassed if I had my big v8 getting blown away by what you call an econo box. Just an observation.

[98StangGT]

Srt-4s can walk over most stangs huh? Year for year Mustang tops the dodge neon... You tellin me an 05 SRT-4 can beat an 05 Mustang GT? I'm not saying Mustangs are the fastest cars in the world, but for my preference to be pointed towards a Mustang over a Dodge Neon it wouldn't have to be. And just because you have seen one car beat a certain car, doesnt mean that scenario will always play out. For a 94 integra to beat a GT it would have to be pretty heavily modified. You go ahead and do every possible modification you can do to a 4 cyl integra and then do every possible mod you can do to a v-8 mustang and see what comes out on top.....

[Musashi3000GT]

hmmmm, actually both of you make really good arguments.
yes it would suck to blow 28 grand on a 2004 Mustang GT and get walked by a 21K sportcompact. In fact, thats the reason I love the SRT-4 and the Cobalt SS so much.

but at the same time I never considered the "hotness" factor. I guess its cause Im married and my girl is into cars as much as me.

[98StangGT]

im with u musashi, if the srt-4 was a lot faster than the GT, I would have bought one. But it's not as much faster as people think. The difference between a mediocre driver and a good driver will make the difference in the race between the two. If the SRT-4 was a lot faster than the GT, I would have been a lot more prone to buying it. And for the record an 04 GT would run u closer to 20-23 grand. And yes the ladies do love seeing a guy in a sports car, atleast as far as experience has shown me.

[BadA$$Snake]

man you guys are goign crazy on this, can't we all just get along? I am on my second Mustang now, a 1985 Mustang GT, and I love it to death but at teh same time I love the SRT-4, it's fast bottom line. I love fast cars(not really a Honda fan at all) but I love Nissans and DSMs and everythign between them. I just love fast cars, whatever it may be. See it form this point, the SRT was just used ot get all the extra neon bodies out and sold, and they made money off the idea, like Chrysler used to do with the omni and Charger and all teh fun turbo cars they used to make. And about seeing all the movies of "econoboxes" beating Mustangs. Mustang drivers don't usually go around with video tapes...We don't have anythign to prove, we get respect, it's teh import guys that gotta go out and feel like they need to prove themselves. And when something liek taht comes up I respect that car totally, I wish the Mustang would win., but you can't win em all. just leave well enough alone. Late.

[98StangGT]

no harm in some friendly car vs car debating. And you're right about mustang owners not really going around with video cameras. Most videos you see of Mustangs in action is at the drag strip, wonder why... lol. Anyways, yes SRT4s are undoubtedly fast, but Mustangs are undoubtedly cool...

[BadA$$Snake]

Haha, definatly. But if the SRT was AWD I would have to have one. That would be bad ass. What does you Horse run?
