How do you like the car as a whole?? Does it feel cheap?? What is your most annoying problems with the car ?? and What would you change about it ??(except the fact that its a neaon jfwy!) I am now in the market for yet another new car and I cant go non turbo!!!! So, its either another WRX or Skittle. How is all the little shit?? I know the engine and turbo are bullet proof.

 

The only thing i wish my car had different was rear wheel drive and that is just cause i like RWD. Other than that the car is fukin awesome. It is very cheap to mod, fast as you want it to be, handle good but for under $500 can handle great.

 

Any problems yet? do you have mods?? and how cheap to make faster?

 

I wish brandon dodge had some in stock I havent even been able to see one yet.

 

BoB Wilson Dodge in Tampa has like 3 or 4(that is where i got mine). It is on florida just off 275. The cost for mods all depends on what you want to do. There are the Mopar stages that keep the daily driver happy along with more power or there is aftermarket turbos, that well..... can be as insane as you want. There has been a couple of SRT-4's with stock internals going 500+hp. www.agpturbo.com has some aftermarket cost and power out looks for the SRT-4 and www.mopar.com has some dyno's of the staged upgrades.
My car is almost stock motor wise that is and i have ran a best of 14.1 @ 96. Now i have my MM so i should be able to get under 13.

 

I love mine I can honestly say that It is a great car. At first i was skeptical about the fact that it was a neon. Let me tell u i drove a regular neon and everything about it is completely different. Engine, suspension, the handling. Some people say the interior is shitty. While it might be pretty close to the neon the saets are definelty high quality and alot nicer. I sat in the back ofa reg neon those cloth is like foam and gell it really does have nice interior. Plus it is color corridated. It is truely the best bang for your buck. I ahve had mine almost a year and have had NO problems to date. I have a 1000 watt sound system and the only that happened to me was the battery died. I got a cap and recharge the battery and was on my way. U could spend 26,000 on a WRX or you could use that extra6 grand and have over 400+ hp srt-4.

Turbo upgrades from AGP are only about 1,500 and u will be doing 12's to high 11's. The fast ones are at the mid 11's. You can do just about what ever u want this car. Mods are cheap... Great site called www.moperperformance.com. Look here for just standard upgrade prices then you can check out AGP turbos like the other posts said.

Mopar makes things really fun becuase they allow u to mod ur car and keep it under warranty! We all know this is a big plus. Stage 1 allows you to bypass the sensors so you can mod ur car all you want with throwing any sensors.

I love my car. Not to mention 7 year power trait warranty.!!
If you test drive it i guarentee that it will be the end....

 

sounds good, thanks for the info! Do you have any engine mods??

 

I liked my SRT4, interior was cheap - but the seats are GREAT!

Everyone forgot to mention that the SRT4 lacks rear power windows! That was one thing that bugged me. But what do you expect for 22k? It does have the best bang for the buck - STOCK. Modding it is another story.. for example, I put $2k into my Cobra and I already have surpassed the 450whp I had in my SRT4 - and I put $11k into it. Oh, and my Cobra runs on pump gas, the SRT4 at 450whp was on race gas. If you want to go fast, it will cost you to do it right. The SRT4 is a great all around sport-compact. Has a stong bottom end, transmission and responds well to mods.

I got rid of mine for a couple of reasons, but mostly it was TRACTION. Roll racing is fun, but I like to go from a dig and with a high hp SRT4, you can forget about it.

Oh, and Srt4Viper - the MOPAR upgrades VOID your warranty.
Also, there is a lot more to upgrading the SRT4 then just spening $1500 for a turbo upgrade... You forget there is engine/fuel management, fuel upgrades, drivetrain upgrades, suspension upgrades, tires., etc.. Don't think you can buy an SRT4, drop $1500 in it and be in the 11's and have a daily driver that will last any reasonable amount of time - not gonna happen.

Do a lot of research about the car you want. A great site for SRT4's is http://www.srtforums.com

I would also be happy to answer any questions you have about modding the SRT4.

Good luck with your choice.

 

I dissagree with srt4vipers post because the second you mod or race your car (no matter what car company it is) you just lost your warrenty!!! You can get lucky and people have been in the past and get a good dealership that will warrenty they work, but let it be known from day one, you could be voided for moding the car! Same as Mazda, Honda, Mitsibishi, Ford, Chevy and all the rest!

 

Had mine since March 03. Hell I drove 500 miles to find one back then
Seats are big thumbs up!
Brakes are excellent stock, I did a road course with em and they never disappointed me once. I plan to get some Hawk pads, and brake lines to improve feel, but thats it.

Its highly recommended to at least lower the car in some form. Traction is an issue with higher HP, but there some VERY cheap fixes out there for that. Too many people jump on the bandwagon and buy all this extra crap for 'wheel hop' cure.

If you mod with NON MOPAR parts, be prepared to be in the boat that quickcivic was. Same boat Riven is in......
Want 350WHP? Bolt on and go....Stage IIIR.
