1st gen owner looking at a 2nd gen
hey all,
Can't say I have been on the 2nd gen forums before but I am on the 1st gen. Anyways, I have a 99 plymouth expresso right now and browsing for a new car I came across a 05 SRT-4. Long story short, I went to go look at it today and the dealership doesn't know much about it and well its a ford dealership so I wasn't surprised when I pointed out more things than the salesman. Once I popped the hood i realized something....and quickly acted like nothing was different(behold a stage 3 turbo, with a aftermarket intercooler, motor mounts, wastegate...whole nine yards). Umm can I take this for a test drive?? SURE, THEN it gets better, it has a short throw shifter in it and a/f guage. Not to mention this is one of the limited edition models. The GM of the dealer was telling me be careful this drives REALLY fast and does about 350-400hp. OH yes sir i will thanks. LOL
SO i want to know what are the pros and cons about the srt-4's, what major problems should i look for. Not sure if I am getting this car yet or not but...since the price is right i think i might. it has 38k incase your wondering. Links below to pics!

man i dont own a srt-4 but im pretty sure if it has a stage 3 turbo that there arent any cons to it rite off the bat. and the only thing would be gas mileage being a little lower than ur 1st gen neon cause it being a 5 speed and stage 3.
but yeah go on srt-4 sec to get more info.
how much was it btw ?
did u by any chance get the number of the vehicle like out of 200?
oh yeah and thats one good looking neon there cause its the commerative edition.
