definitely go with the STI. i'd feel better driving a subaru over a mitsubishi. I hope the evo VIII engines don't need to be rebuilt as often as the gsx/t eclipse engines

What??? Those 4 bangers from Mitsubishi are great engines. IMO the J-spec evo is superior to even the sti. I see magazines comparing the two and always the evo wins.

SRT4 $20,000
Evo 8 $30,000
WRX STi $33,000

How could you even compare the Neon to these other two? I would wait it out and got the WRX STi though!

answers simple u try to drag and do quatermile runs every where(in other words take off as fast as posible) take the evo(only reason being is that they come with twin plate clutch standered and a realy tough gear box) thew wrx on the other hand has a shit house clutch(if u ever try to do a burn out u will get clutch smoke instead of smoke from the tiers




i have never herd of the other car in the comparo(unless the names difren't in other countries) so i wont talk about it:finger:


also depends on witch evo ur plain to by(although all of them are realy kik arse cars an i wouldn't midn ownin any evo) but yea if i were u i buy evo reason been is that the last long cause they were biult for rallying.

I would not be doing burouts in a WRX if i had one anyway. I would bet money that the WRX STi will not have a "shit house clutch" either, Not with 300 horsepower!

msrp 19,995

dodge already announced rebates will apply

no doubt the neon is a better value, but your missing the point, you get what you pay for. a neon is a fwd car that can mostly go fast in a straight line and nothing more. its just a neon with a turbo bolted on with stiff suspension. now if you look at a wrx or a evo. the only thing that resembles their tame counter parts is the chassis. the evo has a wider stance, better suspension, AWD, and a turbo motor, you can say the same with the STi. they are purpose built rally cars. they car quick in many ways. on certain tracks with certain drivers, it can keep up if not beat a ferrari. and when i say certain, i don't mean dirt course. i'm talkin about small tight dry circuit. and if they can't beat the ferrari. they can easily keep up no problem. now can you say that about the neon? the evo and the sti's are nicknamed "super car slayers in a saloon body shell" i bet you will never hear that from a neon.

so as long as he's not bracket racing, then why get the wrx or sti, I cant remember the last time i got into a high speed car chase around town, i got a 94 cobra i like to go fast in a straight line, while beating other cars. Which is the same thing im sure he wants to do. I know a guy who works at the belvdere plant, the srt has bigger brakes tighter suspension, and a beefed up engine to handle all the extra power, i mean what else do you expect from a 17k car, its a hell of a value, no matter how you look at it

Well, for one, they don't call them saloon cars on this side of the pond.

The SRT-4 has VERY little in common with the Neon’s of old. This Neon has a new frame, tighter suspension, different body, different interior, and the drivetrain is completely worked over. Dodge even already has upgrade packages available for the car. They entered the SRT-4 prototype in rally events and won a lot o those in their class. The new Neon can handle, you people just discredit it because it has a Neon nameplate. They should have called it something else and left no resemblance to the Neon. I bet people wouldn't have much to say then. Add an LSD, up the boost, and add some Einbach springs and KYB shocks, then pop on a front and rear strut tower brace. All that wouldn't even cost you close to what the other two are priced at and you can bet that I can keep up.

Also, I would love to see them blow the doors on the 360 Modena on the track since they are more geared for rally racing. I haven't seen any STi's or Evo's racing with any Ferraris, just Peugeots, Fords, and Citroen.

There was a reason that Sport Compact Car gave the SRT-4 the Sport Compact of the Year award over the STi and Evo.
