SRT-4's are fast... but very classless. Generally people who own those cars are racing at stoplights after school. A neon is still a crappy neon.

Trolls suck. Go away.
This is yet another thread comparing an Neon to an S2000. Its apples and oranges, there is no comparsion to make.
To quote WisconsinS2K:
"The S2000 is superior because it outperforms the neon in EVERY performance aspect, with the exception of a straight line, where both cars have the ability to perform equally in stock form. On top of that, why are you comparing a 4 door sport compact with a roadster sports car?"
The SRT-4 DOES NOT handle well. You are smoking crack if you think otherwise.

I give up! Some people just dont get it.
Look, if you are happy with your Neon, great!
If you are happy with your S2000, great!
Both cars have positive sides so lets just be friends and leave it at that.
These threads are getting redondant.
There is better shit to talk about.......... REALLY!!

Whoa there.... hold on. Fearless, have you driven a Neon? I haven't driven an SRT-4 myself, but an ACR (what you'd buy if you actually planned to autocross or something) could pull 1.2G on the skidpad.
It does fail in a lot of places yet. Torque steer was an issue on Gen 1s. FWD understeer is of course an issue, and the car doesn't really oversteer at all. It has a higher center of gravity. It has more angular inertia. It's just not a sports car platform, as awesome as Dodge has done making it perform well.
Let's not bash the Neon "just because."

As a former S2000 owner, this is the same arguemnt that the Boxster/Z3 guys used to say about the S2000, but we still all bought the S2000 and fight frantically for it (as Neon owners would do).
A Neon isn't.
...wait, Z3? That's purpose built as a POS!! FLAME ON

Am I the only one that looked at the chart?
Using the troll's posting, I can also conjecture that a Dodge Ram 1500 and a 300C are WAY better cars than an SRT-4. Moreover, that a Daytona coupe can hang with the best of them.
The fact is, the original poster has not taken into account what kind of a race the One Lap is, nor how or where points are scored.
Nothing against the car, it's just bad logic.

sometimes i beleive we look more at the people who buy these car rather then actually JUST look at the car as a peice of metal on wheels and rate it from there on. Ill admit it is capable of dishing out power, but when it came to the other things such as a classy car... no sorry, its not and their owner make it look worse. It really is a neon that got a wing, rims, new "Look" in the front and a turbo. Besides all that its not a car i would buy and consider a "Sports car" First its four door, FWD, and its handling caracteristics are not great. What you are buying is a 2.4 engine that has been turbo charged all ready four you and ready to run on the road. You are giving up everything else that makes it a sports car. What because the thing can hang with a C4 LT4 corvette, your going to say the torch has been passed to econoboxes now? no sorry, their owners just make it even worse in the class department.
