i'm not into neons but i hear from people this car really sucks and it lacks on power is it true?

 

I'm going to ignore that and just tell you that a SRT-4 (Frankenneon, if you will) can blow away any car in its price range and even most cars costing $10,000 more....0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds sound fast enough to you? 13 second quarter miles get you there quickly enough? 150+ mph top end give you enough wind rash? You get the picture....

And God forbid if you put any mods on it......[sm=smiley36.gif]

 

Dusty I think he's in the wrong place, he was asking about neons.

 

he's trying to get a rise out of this, Dust... Ignore[sm=smiley21.gif]

 

Right you are ByeBye and Roach, but he was insulting our FAMILY....[sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif]besides, I like posting those performance numbers....kinda sends a chill up the spine, right???[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

 

sorry about that i forgot to put srt-4 on it, but i was askin about this car.

my friend has one, and is pretty fast but pleople complain about this car too much, well thats wut i hear

 

From who do you here this? Most often, comments come from owners of other makes that can't stand the fact that this car kicks ***.
Had a young guy try to tell me "SRT-4s re overrated" When I asked him to explain in what way, he of coourse couldn't pin it down any better. Of course, his VR6 Jetta was a much better car. AFAIK, there have been very few, if any problems, qualitywise. Mine has 36 thousnad miles, only two minor issues. If you do have any facts or hard evidence, please feel free to share, we're a pretty open-minded bunch.

 

It's usually a case of "sour grapes". People are upset you have a $20,000 car that can beat their $30,000 car so they fall back on the old '95 Neon head gasket problems and stories to make up for their insecurity....

 

well one of the complains i hear has to do with the oil, they said it comsumes a lot of oil and u have to make frequent oil changes

 

Since it's a turbo, they highly recommend 3,000 miles/3 month oil changes and synthetic oil...I've been doing that to all my cars since the 1960's. Not a problem. I've been driving mine for 1/2 year and haven't added a drop of oil yet. I have an Oil Catch Can to trap the oil that blows past the PCV valve, but it's only a few ounces....no leaks on the garage floor, either![sm=smiley16.gif]
