Since when?..have you ever owned one?..Driven one?..$50 in gas,to go 7 1/2 hrs,non stop(except to fill up again)..All the way past Pensacola..With random 160mph runs...95mph Consistant,The whole way...Still sucks?..No.

 

none-taken, haha. I wouldn't be caught dead in a civic If it's money, like everyone else has said, stay the hell away from FD's. I'm not going to draw it out. Srt's are shitty on gas (partially) because they ae 2.4's and dodge just sucks. A fun car was my mustang GT. Going from a TSi with an evoIII16g on 20lbs to a bone stuck mustang GT was actually pretty fun.

 

when the FF layout was engineered it was made for safety, affordability, and chicks. over the years people have learned to tweak FF layout cars to do some cool things but really the FF car was never meant for this type of driving. a few things most FF cars bring to the table naturally is poor launching, limeted engine space, and understeer. i dont think any FF chassis has ever been made to perform on the track in stock trim level. just look at the srt-4, its built on a modified PT cruiser chassis. if you just need a car for dailydriving then it doesnt matter. but no matter what im driving it has to be rwd. id rather be on the edge of over steer coming around a corner than hoppping around the apex (understeer). for the money, get something with the power to the rear.

 

There are many many many better cars you can buy for 13k then a srt4...

Much more reliable, better looking, not as common, with stronger engines and perform the same.


That said, I won't deny the Skittle is a fast car.

Hell I bought my Z for 7k in amazing condition. You can get very great condition ones with 70-80k on them for less then 10k.

Another car I could suggest would be some type of cobra. I am sure there are some out there in that price range. Or a vette. mmmmm <3 vettes

 

Oh I just say that because a buddy of mine drives one here at work from Brandon to Temple Terrace and he only drives it on Fridays becuase he said he doesnt get great gas milage with it.

 

Have you ever even driven on an actual track? Or done any sort of autocrossing? Somehow I doubt it. Sorry buddy, Gran Turismo and apexes on highway onramps don't count. Come out to a local autocross around here sometime and I'll show you how a shitty economy car can drive.

 

srt4s are like fucking fat chicks, they're fun to play with until your friends find out

 

hahahaha, yup! i'm driving a rental neon right now while i look for a gst/gsx and i beat the shitttt out of it. I wouldn't ever want to own it though...even though it's not an srt, it's the same thing...

 

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SRT-HOE!... Buy one and shut up. And no I dont own one.

 

You can deffinately find an ls1 ss/z28 camaro or trans am for around that price...there is actually a really nice red one for sale on this forum i believe. you can look better be faster and more reliable for the same price https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/g...-ls1-6spd.html
