Arrow The Dodge Neon SRT4 - Whats so Special?

I'm not very knowledgeable reguarding the SRT-4, however I've heard mixed stories about this car. Could someone fill me in on the strengths and weaknesses of this car?

It's fast stock, and its cheap. Outside that, its one of the gayest cars I've ever seen.

As everyone else said, it can be hella fast for mad cheap.......

Quality is so-so, but if you want to go fast in a straight line, and not spend 40k to do it, this is the ticket.

What size turbo do they use? Mine is a Garret-T3 Super 60. What do the neons run? And is the port sizes (exhaunst and intake side) fairly big or are they kinda restrictive? Also are they using cheap cast pistons?

Im just wondering because im comparing the srt-4 to my newly built Tiburon.

How much does a used skittle sell for these days?
I'd have to say its far from matching up as most speed per dollar unless they're going for 6-7 grand.
It is newer though, I'll give it that.
