Which new car should I buy a SRT-4, WRX sti, Lancer EVO?

[dolla_bill0913]

I want to but a fast four door but I cant decide which one, let me hear your opinion. If you have another car besides the neon SRT-4, WRX sti, or Lancer Evo that you think I should take a look at, let me know.

Right off the bat you can eliminate the SRT-4. It's not even in the same league as the STi and EVO. Now if I were you I would wait for both to come out, then decide. They are both gonna be $30,000+ so I hope you got the cash.

if youre only talking about straight line highway racing type fast, for the money youll be saving on monthly payments and insurance with an srt4 it would probably be faster. but the other 2 are still gonna kill it at low speeds.

WANT A FAST 4 DOOR

BUT AL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR GOING FOR

They did a comparo with the SRT and the WRX and the SRT beat it. The worst thing about it is it has terrible understeer, but you can always take care of that with the money that you'd save, but then again, me being a mopar man i cant say the WRX. It'd be nice if they made an all wheel drive version for a rally car of the SRT, it's a hell of a lot lighter than a WRX and pretty good motor. But really it's all up to you. Just dont call it a Neon, Dodge doesn't want you too, haha. Also I seen one in person, I like it a lot, lot better than the Sube

Also, if you put better grippin tires on the SRT-4 it'd get into the low 13.5's for 1/4 mile

Well, where have you been man? Anyhow; I would have to go with the new WRX or the SRT-4. The Mopar in me is screaming SRT-4. Where else can you get that level of performance for the money?

Answer: nowhere.

To me it is the obvious choice.

i like a car that has done thing. the wrx and evo are both good car and they are going to be the car to beat in the all wheel drive part of raceing. i just like that way the wrx looks and i know that there are aftermarket part othere on so you dont have to wait .

[gemballa]

go for the evo!

Well the sti and the evo cost 10K over the price of the srt-4. On a twisty track or under bad conditions the sti and the evo will win. But on a dragstrip the srt4 will more than keep up. Also there are plety of improvement for it like a quaife differential. Remember you'll have 10 grand to do upgrades that is quite a bit of money.

Bang for the buck there is no question srt4.


BTW idelaysionl where have you been. Welcome back!!!

Doesn't the evo come with near 300hp stock?? Same thing with the Sti, isn't it 271hp stock? Either of those DESECRATES the Neons rating by a hefty margin. Meaning it won't have a prayed in keeping up with the other two vehicles...

Looking at it right now, got it mixed up...271 for the new Evo, 300 for the new STi...WAY over the heads of Dodge's Neon here...It'll get smoked on the straight-line to the twisties and back again

Sti and the evo are designed to be rally cars and therfore are designed to have very quik burst of acceleration but have weak top end. So yeah they will kill the srt4 off the line but at high speeds the srt4 will start to catch up.

if you got the cash, i would get a STi. its sooo much more of a car. you get a super slick shifting 6 speed gear box with like hte perfect ratio's. you get a cool water squirter that when the weather is realy hot, you push a button, and the jets will spray water on the intercooler to keep it cool, you also have a center differential adjuster. that is a knob that you twist that adjust pressure on the center diff which controls how much you want the diff to slip, you also get brembo brakes, a super tuned boxer engine, and its more comfortable, and its built better. overall i think the STi is just sooo much more car then the SRT-4. plus the STi looks much much much better then standard WRX.

[Neutrino]

Yes i agree with you sti and evo are both stock superior to the srt 4 but they cost 1/3 more aka 10 grand that is a lot of money. Which can theoretically be used to make the srt4 a whole lot faster especially in a straight line. One thing that you cannot modify with only 10k is the drive train so yeah if you plan do do rally racing type driving go for the sti or evo but for 1/4 mile performance with 10 k extra you'll smoke both evo and sti with the srt4.
