ok ok.. wut bet did u lose and were forced to write up this crap?
srt-4 vs. civic..
all it is, is the speed..
im not sure but i think people dont like the look of neons
compare reliablilty.. its easy to make a car fast for ne car company, but why has imports reigned over domestics even tho, the price is very different.. they last longer, and in my opinion, they look better too..im not starting a new topic about imports vs. domestic again.. thats juss my thought

OMG, Y are you comparing a srt-4 to a civic!!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!, apples and oranges man, learn that. They are two different cars, for 2 different purposes. Stop comparing them stock by stock. Slap on a SF turbo on our vics, then you can compare. Comparing a 20-22k car to a 15-17k car. Obvisouly your numbers will be better . Either way, I rather have a phat looking car that will last waaay longer, and have a higher re-sale value, than a turbo charged neon that will probably not last as long and will def have a lower re-sale value. Thats even if it could be resold...

the srt-4 is still just another piece of crap neon with a turbo that from what i hear are crap to and don't last long at all so you better add some $$$ signs to that 20,000 in repairs

civic (quality)>>>>neon (poorly made piece of speed)
period!

IBTL. My civic looks better than a neon, so I don't care if it's slower. Nuf said

Oh and I'm sure Catalyst or some of the many other turbo civics could beat your srt4 anyday.

yeah, recently there have been new ****** members comming on to these forums from the SRT fourms starting sh*t. why do people go out of their way to do dumb things?

 
Rep Power: 304

HAHAHA, someone has anger... why dont you go to the SRT boards and suck some of the DI CKS. No one here EVER claimed our cars were fast. And news flash, people do buy cars that are reliable???.. I did as well as lots of other people in the world. You can buy your neon for $20K and when you go to sell it in a year or two you will get what?? 12K for it? Have fun with that pal.

life span of a civic .... about 30 years more than an SRT-4

oh yeah, and I am pretty sure that honda makes the insight which is a lot slower economy car than the Civic.......

and you forgot your base prices also, civic 13K srt-4 24k? (guess)

ok this thread is worthless. there is absolutely no need to come onto another forum just to bash their car. Even more worthless to bash cars that ARE NOT in the same class.

There is no way in Hell a stock civic or a civic with "just an intake" could ever touch one on the 1/4 mile. Even on autoX a SRT-4 would kill any stock civic. The srt-4 has a shorter wheel base, is lighter, and has wider tires stock than a Civic. Maybe if you guys are thinking of a stupid run-of-the-mill neon, then maybe it's possible, but even the Neon SXT has more hp stock than a civic (130 compared to 127).

no one says they beat a SRT-4 in the 1/4 mile. Even if they did, we'd all call BS unless they some sort of FI or swap. your point is worthless.

Srt-4s are D-class in autocross. In their class, they arent competitive. We have several members on this board who auto-x all the time and have consistently placed better than SRT-4 owners.

Quote:

I will never believe that a STOCK civic ever beat a stock SRT-4 until I see it for myself (which I more than likely, NEVER WILL!) And for those of you who say "I don't really care about having a fast car." - you only say that because you bought the car in hopes of making it fast and then realized your $6/hour job can't afford that!

no. a stock civic wont beat a stock SRT-4 unless some kind of damage/failure occured on the SRt-4.
As for me, i dont care about going fast really (on the street at least). Street Racing is extremely dangerous and not worth it at all. I dont excessively speed anymore so spouting out numbers doesnt mean anything. What do you get to say? "I can get up to the speed limit before you can!" well...good job to you.

Trying to stereotype any car owner and making fun of them really shows your intelligence and maturity level. Obviously it isnt high. Who here makes $6/hour and cant afford to mod their car? its not because anyone wants to go fast (ok..that really is why), but its more of a hobby of making something better than it orignally was before.

point #2 shot down.

So you came to grips with reality and began to accept that your car is, and always will be slow. And if you ever made it fast - good luck keeping the ticket under $21,000. If you can't - then all you proved is that your Civic was a waste of money - whether it's more reliable or not - the only reason any teenager wants a car, is to go fast. Quit kidding yourself, and go trade in your Civic for an SRT-4....and the sad truth is, you won't even have that much of a $$ difference to pay off. For 230hp - I'd much rather have an SRT-4.

Slow is a relative term. Your car is slow compared to say, a mercedes S55 AMG. so big whoopie-do.

Last time i checked, you can get a civic for less than $15,000. so i'm going to break this down for you.

civic - $15,000
SF Turbo - $3,500 (top stage as of now - that is with all the upgrades)
Tires that can hold that power - $500
upgraded internals - $1,000
--------------------------------
total - $20,000
right there you have a civic that can out perform your SRT-4. How do we know? we've seen it.

As for spending $21,000 on a car. I'd rather buy an RSX-S than a SRT-4. Hell, i'd spend it on a used Acura Tl type-S or Cl type-S.

First off, sure the SRT-4 has the potential to beat a civic in autocross, but the question is Do you?. Second, Get your facts straight. the Civic coupe EX (what I drive) weighs 2556lbs the SRT-4 according to Dodge wieghs 2,870 lb. thats over 300 LBS heavier then my civic. The SRT-4s listed wheel base is 105 in, the civic 103.1 thats just under 2 inches longer then my civic. and wider tires, yes its true that the stock tires are narower, but you forget. In the stock classes you can run what ever tire you want so that means squat.

Personaly, I have yet to be beaten in autocross by an SRT-4 and several have come out. (the closest one was 1/2 second slower then me). But then the driver is the biggest factor in autocross.

Finally, It has been said Many times. A FWD turbo car is quite possibly the most pain in the *** type of car to push around an autocross track. so, even though is classed D-stock, I dont think its going to be able ot out run the Integra R and BMW 3 series that dominate the class. Hell, even the WRX is D-Stock and its not compeditive.

didnt that 17 or so page thread that just got locked say ANYTHING to you people. Dont give those people ammo to come over here and spam the site, none of them really had all that great of info to say, except "Our car is faster" and "Civics are gay". they are obviously looking at it from a poor perspective, so there is no reason to invite them back. Moderators DO YOUR THING. and people, stop making threads about the SRTs performance, because its stupid to compare the two cars for many reasons, and the good can be argued both ways.

$17,000 Civic LX
$3,100 SF turbo

$21,000 SRT-4

I would say about even, Dodge is pushing their domestic but unfortunatly they do not have the craftsmanship and reliability factor on their side. I would give the SRT-4 a few years then it might be a car worth buying. <--- i heard a rumor that dodge is no longer going to be selling the SRT-4 in a few years? I dunno just a rumor i heard.

I think that it is kinda a good idea that dodge would sell a car with turbo, I wish honda would do that only because of the warranty coverage. I am just waiting for the day when SF Turbo setup becomes state approved.

Happy posting and flaming.
