I second that. The srt-4 is a muscle car, and carries about as much class as a mustang when it comes down to it. They are fast in a straight line, but their chassis will never have the capability to flog an s2000 on a road course, or even an rsx-s. My friend has an srt-4, and it is quick - in a straight line. But that is where it ends, my little 127 bhp will leave him in the dust as soon as the first curve shows up...

This is a pointless thread....

my mom owns an S and I drive it regularly. I think it sucks. They went for performance and then some stupid **** said hey let's go sports car...they have half of each.

if you want an ugly neon, purchase an expresso...personally I think the srt-4 is fugging sexy...just a few things needed...rims, lowered, and eyelids to remove the bugeyes..

for a FWD it handles pretty well you'd be surprised

but like I've been saying, I'm drag oriented...there's no better car on the market for me right now for drag...

I leave the WRC/auto-x stuff for the guys on TV and just think "wow"

THROW IN A TURBO ON A NEON AND ITS STILL A NEON! if your gonna rip on saturn, a car you own you should rip on the other car you own a neon. and yes if you boost a honda its just a honda, the difference is that your honda is prefferred 10-1 over your fast neon and non-dentable saturn! why? because it looks good going slow and looks even better going fast...

muscle car is like an ignorant white boy. only good for one train of thought.
so sorry but that lil pocket rocket will never make a scene in the import world. its all about multidemsional for us imports (looks/power/economy/handling/etc.)

so you loose buddy no matter how you look at it. its still a neon. i would of sited with the saturn at least it had racing harts hahaha

Ok the SRT-4 is great for what it is but it is not, and I repeat NOT a Muscle car. The Charger, the 300 SRT-8, (some may argue that the Viper is one too) those are today’s Muscle cars produced or being produced in the very near future.

Another thing, this thread has no more discussion about the Ion.

yeah, so we always get off topic. define exactly what a muscle car is. I define it as a car with a big HP number...

My defenition of a muscle car is more engine then suspension, like Modoman said Big Engines, big power.

From the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary: "Pronunciation: -"kär
Function: noun
: any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving "

four different people, four different definitions

exactly my point...muscle car is an idea not a fact, just like "rice"

and thus I keep my opinion that the neon is a musclecar...just like road and track, the professionals, said

god road and track is so biased... stop acting like what they say is what it is
neon is not a muscle car, 4 cyl will never be a heart of a muscle car, even if its powerful and fast. not puttin down 4cyl in any way whatsoever... muscle cars died in the 70's btw. what we have now can be called modern muscle cars like the vette and viper, but they were muscle cars then because they were raw power, the neon is NOT RAW POWER, and it is NOT THE TOP OF THE AMERICAN POWER SCALE, like REAL muscle cars are... and im extremely offended that you call a neon a muscle car. ok im done. nothing personal *wink

DodgeNeonSrt-4, im not hating on your or anything (if it seems like that). but a Front wheel drive, 4cyl, "turbo"ed (track?) car is hard to believe considered "muscle"

if the saturn ion redline were as fast as the neon srt-4, would you consider that muscle too?

yep. I don't like saturns, but if they threw down stock 13.3's, I could respect that. but I guess my maturity level is just a tad higher than most the people here...
