Default Srt-4 Question?????????

I was thinking in getting a scooby, but i dont knw. I've put lots of tought in. And I can find a Skittle way cheaper and parts are way more cheap.. WRX parts tend to be real expensive.... any how. question was. I want to knw from personal exp. IF SRT-4's handle good? I mean not only as if they were fast or what not. but reliable is what im concerned!.... I mean i just hear so many ppl talk Crap about em. They break this they break that... blabh blah.. I dont knw if ppl just hating on em.. Or what not..
BUt i really love the way the look and sound, and i am thnkin of gettin one in the next week or 2..
Some advice would be greatly apreciated !!!!

ps. Im just plannin to run stock boost...

dodge quality, very fast, excellent potential...will last if you take care of it.

they don't handle that well, they are fwd and are still built on a neon chassis.

bottom line, if you want a fast, somewhat inexpensive car that has neon interior...then its a great car. you have to make some compromises...but they make incredible power and they seem to be reliable.

As long as you dont rag the crap out of it it will last you years and years . My buddy has had his 03 since new and it has quite a few mods he only beats on it on the weekends sometimes or at the track and he hasn't had 1 issue with it ..

Very fast and they handle damn well for a FWD car . I was only 9/10ths of a second of FTD at a local autocross once when a few of the enormously fast cars didnt come out ...

The SRT4 is the only car I know of that you can spend less then $30k on and run 11' -10's in.
