there is a huge difference in quality from an srt-4 and the new civic. Besides the seats the neon has nothing that really sets it apart from everything else on the road. Take a look inside an srt-4 and everything from the e-brake handle to the glove box is plain. Now take a look at the inside of the new si. I have never seen a e-brake like that and it has two layers of guages with a digital speedo. If you want to talk power for money the srt-4 wins hands down every time. But this post isnt whats the fastest car for around $20-25,000. And the srt-4 has no handling abilties whatsoever/
