i give credit, its fast for bieng a turbod neon. someone hit 9's with it was this ever thought to be impossible? i can show you plenty of 4cyl civics that run that or better so it was only a matter of time.
buddy in my shop who has a sprayed, forged sentra se-r sent me an email i guess 2 months ago about a 4cyl integra that was converted to a rwd funny car with 4000hp (that is one thousand horsepower per cylinder...THAT is credit, cuz i havent seen an 8,000hp mustang). doesnt change my opinion on integras though.
i guess i'm bias'd cuz every srt-4 owner ive ever talked to talked **** and were much younger than me. when asked to race i never found one that would race me (and i wasnt even talking **** like i was going to win granted, i was wanting to race to see what one does against a GT cuz from what ive read both cars are rated at 13.9sec quarter miles...i like to race my car to see what it does against other cars)

Where are you located? If your anywhere near jersey I'd be more than happy to run you.

I had to get my 2 cents in on that one. How anyone can still trash talk something that has been proven is beyond me. Pure ignorance. I love the comment about walking into a bar too. Most girls I see in bars would'nt know what the hell a GT or SRT-4 is to begin with. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if my Mach is a V6. Yea, drive a GT, that'll definetly get you laid
Hey MU71L4710N, I said give credit to the fact that it can do it on a STOCK engine without blowing up. You are bringing up funny cars for Gods Sake. Focus my son....Focus
I love coming on other forums and reading all the threads, more action going on here than in the forums for my car lol. Loved the comment form the SRT4 troll earlier in the thread talking about it having 'Viper seats' and the bar comment was also funny... :D

the srt-4 is a piece of crap made to be fast stock (for a 4 banger). cant get full leather seats, the back 2 windows arent even power windows they have ****ing 1980 manual roll down windows, it looks like a ****ing girls car, AND ON TOP OF THAT ITS NICKNAMED THE SKITTLE! no self respecting man would ever drive a car known as a skittle.
they are driven by dumb highschool kids who are still cought up with the fast and the furious. i havent found one willing to race me but my friend said he took one from a 40 roll in his GT (lightly modded gt). drivers race is the best call. but the car is still horrid in comparison to a GT when its all said and done so WHO CARES.
if u live in florida let me know, i will smoke your stang so u can see what skittle can do

There ya go! I checked his profile and he is indeed in florida. Lets set up a little race maybe get a little video. Could be fun. When all is said and done. You might want to run out and buy a supercharger.

What's funny about the "viper seats"? I guess because they don't have actual viper seats and viper "inspired" seats. Ha, mine are comfortable, I don't have the viper inspired seats.

ok so the SRT-4 is the top of the line neon that falls far behind the top of the line mustang, the cobra. the cobra's 03-04 were built for boost, so is the neon, if the GT's were built for boost im sure you could throw tons of it at em and leave the SRT-4 way behind. whoopidy do a srt-4 hit 9's with how many power adders and on pump gas? doubtful.

See....you missed it.
The point of bumping this old thread was to show what the neon has done AND to laugh at the responses on both sides of the argument.
The post you just made falls in the latter- you say put boost on a mustang and then race. Well, we could, but that wouldn't be even either. Seriously a LOT of people use that argument, but if you do that then you have a 4cyl and a V8 both with boost [although it still can go the way of the neon in some cases]. BUT, if the people making that argument REALLY want to make it fair, then boost the GT, then double the displacement of the neon. See, it's not a strong argument. We're not comparing V8 n/a to V8 w/boost. It's a circular argument that really goes nowhere.
***Edit- and the 9 second neon made it with ony 1 power adder.
LOL! Do you have a Cobra numbnuts??? No you have a much slower GT. i'm 3 and 0 against cobras this year and I have mustang driving members of this forum that were at ATCO and can back me up on this. How will your car do against these sad little 4 bangers???

I still want an explanation on how exactly a SRT-4 is a POS....I'm feelimg some hostility from people that may have been bent over by an SRT-4 once or twice.
I'm NOT saying the rt-4 has a great interior...but seriously, what do the 99-04 gt's have inside that make them so great? I drive my old gt from time to time and I just don't get how it's so much nicer.
I do see how things in the 05-07 gt's look nicer on the inside, but seriously, it's ford...ford doesn't make anything look great on the inside compared to other car companies.
The only inside of a sports car I think is "nice" is the GTO...which is normal because the GM products are usaually nicer on the inside
That's what I was going to say too. Sit in a GTO and then get back in your New Edge. Trust me, you'll have a whole different view of Ford Quality. The s-197s are much better, thank God. My Mach interior rattles and vibrates enough to cause me to have to turn the radio way up just to block it out. I'll agree that SRT-4s have shat for interior, but so does the stang.
You get what you pay for. The srt-4 was 20 grand in 04, And if I'm not mistaken the Mustang was about 25. Inexpensive by sports car standards! But thats what draws me to both cars. You can buy either, brand new and throw 5 to 7 grand worth of mods on them and go hunt Ferraris. Which by the way if money was no object I'd be cruizin in.

See that's what I don't get though.

Ha funny joke.
I am not saying my mustang has great interior, but it is much better than a neons, that is not an opinion.
But comeon now the neons interior sucks! there is no cushion on the door, same cheap chrysler radio used in every car..no cruise..plastic, plastic and more plastic...
Whenever the topic of interiors comes in, someone always mentions GTO....GTOs still have the cheap knobs,cheap buttons as every other american cars..it just looks nice though..
I drive all these cars alot, so I speak from experience..
I am probably the most unbiased guy here. But facts are facts.
So are saying GTOs have a cheap interior? Between the IRS, the foam filled frame( for noise reduction) the awesome seats,the soft dash, the amazing lack of interior rattles, and zero wind noise at 160mph, I would have to say they are pretty damn nice cars and miles ahead in the quality dept. than other domestics and cheap imports. I owned one for a year.

The interior is cheap, the only quailty interiors are those in german cars...If they were really as great as you describe them, then there would be tons on the road.
and the leather in them is hard and it sucks.

People don't like the way they look. That's why they didn't sell so great. You are honestly first I've heard say the GTO had bad seats and a cheap interior though.
