hey guys
i am thinking about getting an SRT4...i heard both good and bad things about them. if anyone knows about those cars or owns one i would appreciete some inside info
thanks
vm

 

well lots of them are lemons, i think something with the transmission im not sure though, search srt4s your bound to find something on them on tr. i would never own one, but i have to admit that ive seen some pretty nasty srt 4s. im sure some owners will chime in, theres a couple nice ones on tr.

 

Never really cared for them personally, but theres no denying there's some fast ones out there.... I'd probably rock an evo before an srt4, but thats just me....

 

i would probably check out the dodge forum

 

I've ridden in a few and driven like 2 before. They are very cheap for what you get assuming u don't buy a lemon.....

 

get it and put a big turbo on it!

 

if you can live saying and hearing you drive a neon, then your good to go. everyone has different taste...some will say no to a 2004 srt-4 but would jump on a 88 sohc crx everyone's different. from what ive heard the earlier models had problems the rest were because everyone was beating the heck out of the car and didnt know why it broke.

 

the 04's were the first ones with limited slips, i would at least go for one of those...
its a tricky thing though, because srt4's are the DSM's of today. So many people bought them cause they were cheap and quick, then they beat the hell out of them, modified them like an amature, and sold them after they were hacked up.
Ive worked on many, but few people whos srts i worked on ever did wise and tasteful mods...buy an all stock srt4 and you should do alright...

 

Eh...

I am THE SKITTLE.

and I will tell you,well...What do you wanna know first off?

My Srt-4 was lemon lawed...It was a 04..I snapped motor mounts,my a/c compressor fell out of the car,I broke numberous axles,my transmission fucked up,as well as numberous other things.The motor NEVER failed though.The car has a aftermarket wastegate actuator,and a downpipe,never launched "hard" and so on..

SO.

Do they have problems?
A:YES,They "can".I had mine from 3 miles on the odo.Out of the year I owned it,It was in the shop for 6 months.

Was it fun?
A:Yes,it was a fun car,minimal mods makes it a 12 second car.

Was it worth it?
A:No,it really was'nt..Granted I got some money back,I paid $400 for SIX months,that I had NO car.That's without FULL COVERAGE insurance.


I recommend,If you want reliable,Look into a Sti or Evo..Well..STi atleast.

There's a few Srt guys on here,got a question just ask.

 

i bought mine new in 05 never had a probablem mines a beast "i think so at least"it put down about 430hp to the wheels that still on stock block it fun as hell and its half as much as a evo/sti im poor so that matters i have no thing but good things to say and pretty much everyone that drive them is cool theres lots of meet and such all the time go over to the srtforums for mor info
