fell down a cliff, rolled over 20 times, died on the scene.

i feel sorry for the RIMS though, they looks good.

by the way, u do know that this would have probebly happened to a civic too if it was in the same kinda accident

we might be able to survive a crash like that.
If your ever in a roll over, make sure you duck down to the side so your level with the firewall, it will save your life.

Amazing...it's a thread about a horrendous crash. And acidbaby is spouting off how awesome a srt-4 is, even going to the point of saying it'll "own" you.

News flash: The Neon has been discussed to death and nobody here cares. The thread is about a crash, not how much faster the neon is over the civic. I don't think anyone here rushed out to trade in their 'vic when it came out. Neons have a history of being junk, so people who value reliability (honda buyers) avoid them like the plague.

I really didn't intend to start a flame here, but it just bugged me. Okay, back to the crash comments...nothing to see here...move along.

I have a feeling that the SRT-4 will get the same reputation as the Mustang GT. LS1 camaro and LS1 firebird with teenagers but only worse. They're fast but more importantly they're cheap, meaning that the people driving it won't be experianced drivers like you'd find with the majority of high 13 low 14 second cars, but rather some high schools kids first car. At least the majority of LS1 and GT owners can handle the power. However i have a feeling that the vast majority of SRT-4 owners will be high school kids as opposed to experienced drivers.
