War has begun. Imports vs. SRT-4

Check out this video. I cant believe those bastards would make something like that. Its time for Catalyst and everyone else with their turbos to make a video of them whipping domestics. LOL

My reply when Ricers rev on me (Domestic or not).....

Sorry, I dont race in straight lines.

so the thing is fast in a straight line, so what? so far, the few that have bothered to autocross with us out here in Las vegas have been stomped on in D-Stock by the WRX, and the Integra-R. Hell even me in my STS preped Civic have yet to been beaten by one.

so far, I have not been impressed by the SRT-4. all its shown is good acceleration. Untill some one comes out a races competitively against the WRX and the ITR (The Integra is the dominant car in D-Stock, the WRX isnt even close to it nationally), the SRT-4 gets no respect from me.

also, After 6 years of working at a body shop, I know how Dodge puts their cars together, and to say the least.... I wouldnt touch one with 10FT poll. Though Dodge is better a putting cars together then Ford.

I'll be the first one to say it, SO WHAT!!!!

It isn't like this hasn't been going on forever, when the SRT-4 first came out, we had trolls left and right in here, it doesn't matter. If you are going to get bent out of shape over somebody making a stupid movie file about his obscene passion with ricers and his car, then you yourself need to take a step back and find out why you are getting bent out of shape about this.

This is never going to go away, and by claiming that this person has now started war with us. Come on, stock for stock, the SRT-4 WILL BEAT OUR CAR ANYDAY ANYWHERE, except Auto X because that is driver related and requires skill. Just remember it is the internet and little punks will say things and do things here that in real life they would be hiding behind their mommies if they actually said anything. Don't let it bother you, have a beer, get some head from a cute chick, and remember, when his car blows up from somt stupid amount of boost he dialed in, you can drive by and laugh, then pick up his girl.

Schaumburg,IL rules for hail damage on August 1, 2003

7 cars in our work parking lot, every window smashed out and two trucks were basically shredded, the parking lot looks like it snowed out. It really sucked but now it is time to trade up

hehe. . Years and years of innovation by the Dailmer (spelling) Chrysler corporation and they come up with that? What a joke. It's bout time they made something with power, too bad their design department can't keep up.

Oh. . yes. . stock for stock they'll smoke us. .But it should. . Those poor guys sat in a crowded room for years thinking of a way to make a Neon fast which is kinda redundant in the first place.

BTW good job on the video, he beat a 91? Hatchback Civic?, and what he said was a WRX, but looks like a Cavalier? (No hood scoop, and gauges don't look like a WRX). Good job for him. Anyways . would be funny to see a new Accord go swinging past him giving him the finger.

actually it was a wrx. the hood scoop was like bulging right there. i dont know how you couldnt have seen it. and anyone racing a 91 civic hatchback must have some b-series engine in there.

The SRT-4s are fast. But they are also Neons, and have been having lots of problems. But were expecting that anyways.

Ok. I see the scoop I had to watch it again. . What I thought was just a flat hood was actually the scoop. . And even if that Civic was running a b-series, the technology is older, and if he doesn't have a turbo he still wouldn't have much hope . .

A. I can turbo a walmart shopping cart, but it's still a shopping cart. And in fact, I'd probably rather have the shopping cart.

B. See sig


Also, ever go to the srtforum? Ha. They have the greatest majority of ricer BS stories I've ever seen. They talk about beating vettes, hanging with a ferarri, and beating LS1 F-bodies, as well as other cars... in their STOCK or NEAR STOCK srt4 neons. It's hilarious. I've never seen more BS ricer stories in my entire life.

Absolutely, 100% correct. The funny thing is, Dodge finally comes out with an admittedly fast Neon for under 20k, so now all these kids who hate imports have a domestic compact to buy due to it's low price, and because it's actually fast, faster than most of the imports out there in fact, they think they are king of the world, they can beat a LS1 any time, and their S*it doesn't stink now. NEWSFLASH!!! It's STILL a 20k Dodge Neon, with all the problems that Neons have always had, only now it can go fast in a straight line. WOOHOO!

I especially like how they beat 1 WRX in a roll-on freeway race, and only after the SRT-4 catches up, mind you, that they can claim "WRX what?" Now try it off the line with that same WRX, and let's see the results...

AZD17A2, exactly my point as well.

While I was watching that video, I kept waiting for the author's name to pop up, thinking it was going to be produced by the Iraqi Misinformation Minister.

I really do think he made that video.

bottom line is straightline is not everything.

and as stated, many here would rather have a LOT of other cars other than a neon. understand that people don't buy the fastest straightline car they can afford? there's so much more to buying a car than that.

and that should be obvious, considering that it is the fastest car you can buy from a dealer new in stock form. but since not every single person is driving one, that tells ya that straightline isn't everything.
