Nope I bought some of that from modern and some from a guy locally and had my custom udp done locally also and the sti and evo would be over the srt4 nota reg neon .

 

Just admit that most imports are more reliable and safer than domestics . All consumer mags and on tv proves that they are and they do better at shows . My moms limited edtion turbo 00 beetle is better made than my sxt and safer .

 

Wow. Why don't you explain why they are better. Go ahead and read your magazine so you don't need to keep talking out of your ***. Make sure you learn how to drive stick before you get an STI, so you don't embarass yourself. Werd.

 

My "wreck resume" is very extensive, but let me just say that I've been in about 13 car accidents in 9 different cars all Ford, Chrysler, GM, and Mazda... (a few more as a passenger), and although most of them were not my fault, I can personally vouch for the fact that my '04 SXT has taken more of a damn beating than most of those other cars, and my SXT has also held up better in a crash/accident, and has proven to be much more reliable afterwards.

In fact, I wish in some of those past scenarios I would have been driving my SXT, because there is one more important point that no one hasbrought upyet... knowing the specific situations my accidents happened in with those other vehicles, I tend to think thatif I'd been driving my '04 SXT instead, I would have been able to AVOID the accident entirely... maybe not in every case, but a good amount of them, because of how it handles, and the way it was engineered to do so.

Nonetheless, I've been around the block with cars and how they hold up, and I won't gripe one bit about the contruction of my Neon. I won't overplay it to be more than what it is, but for $10,250 brand new off the lot, there was no other car at that price that I could find that could out-steer, out-brake, and in most cases out-accelerate the next closest-priced competitor's car. It was roomier and just as well constructed as many of the others (and in my opinion, better constructed than a damn Civic)... It may be just a Neon, but my car's been through a bit of everything and (to my surprise) I am very impressed with how it has performed strong and stayed reliable through the 56,000 miles of abnormalities that it's been through...

...and to this day it still drives straight, turns and stops on a dime, makes it through the toughest weather, and still turns heads... and it's kept me from getting killed or injured to appreciate that.

 

I love 5speeds just auto is a bit easier and the ride I would love to have over the sti is a supra those rock any ride and not just any supra the twin turbo ones thats my dream ride since they are like 50 grand maybe I could find one for 40 grand but thats pretty rare. My dream auto would be a srt8 charger they can rock almost any 5 speed. Im just saying again they should of made our neons a little better . Maybe I just had a crappy weak front bumper and hopefully my new front end will be better and stronger and hopefully she wont get into any more accidents . I wont let my husband drive her for awhile thats for sure. Not trying to make any enemies on here since I love this forum and almost everyone on here is cool at least the ones over in this section . At least I will get awhole new nicely painted stronger front end and a nice new set of depo not ebay black housings . Oh yeah I know how to drive a 5- speed I had an acr srt4 when the acrs 1st came out for a few months .

 

In a straight drag an SRT4 can take an evo. I have seen it so many times. I'm not talking about stage 3 srt-4s taking stock evos either. Pretty equally modded cars and SRT-4 just pulls out. When I started comparing the two and watching them race I was surprised. SRT-4 is way lighter and has a bigger engine. Every evo vs srt-4 race almost the same thing happens off of the line. Evo jumps about a car length ahead right at the start then the SRT-4 just blows by. I want to see STi vs SRT-4 though. That would be interesting.

Evos are so overrated I have discovered. Still...I love that car.

 

werent u also the one who likes to be unique. Modding an import is very popular now, while modding a domestic is not as easy to find. im a honda and dodge raised kid and everything that these guys are saying is true.

 

yeah I like modding my rides to be different whatever ride I get next probably will be an sti or nitro in the next yr but they will be different mod wise . no offense anyone but I will believe the consumer mags over anyone on here for safty of neons and imports. Getting back on subject my sxt now is going to be done in 3 weeks or maybe a little less . Its hard for the dealership to find sxt parts .

 

If they're telling you it'll take three weeks to get the parts, then they're circle-jerking you and the insurance company... well, more or less mainly the insurance company. They could get the parts next day if they wanted to, but the most expensive supplier is probably the longest wait $$$$.

 

Have you seen an EVO vs an SRT-4 from a dig?

Yeah. AWD ftw.

2.0L DOHC 16v I4 turbo - Evo
2.4 L DOHC 16v I4 turbo - SRT-4

The evo still manages to hold itself pretty nicely. And it is FOCKING SWEET looking. lol.



I have always wanted an Evo. BUT, i'm 18. and the insurance would be as much as the burial ceremony. (Prolly wrap myself around a telly pole 1st week of ownership)
