Srt 4s the new civic? there are 4 more evos in my school parking lot than there are srt 4s
I see people hating on them but i got to get what i can afford at the time being and get through college im only 17.\
So that being said
Are they reliable?
Can they make Power?
Do they last?
ECT... The only other car im considering is a twin turbo 3rd gen rx7, but i think id rather have a srt4 for the same price that 10 years newer
I'm not trying to be a dick to you.But before you make this decision,Read what I said man,Or you can learn the hard way.No matter what any of us say here,your gonna take it lightly..I'll break it down for you one more time.
Are they reliable?..If you dont mod them,and dont beat on it,and drive it like you'd drive a minivan,yes they are,once you hit that gas pedal,and swap exhaust,and up the boost..Be ready for problems,I promise you they will come.
Can they make power?..The stock block has been proven to 500whp MANY times,There are currently afew in the 10's..On the stock block.
Do they last?..Refer to the "Are they reliable"..Good things don't last forever.
And with a 3rd Gen Rx-7,those cars are prone to alot of problems also.
I seriously just don't wanna see a kid your age,put yourself into a hole like this..If you really want a Srt-4,get one,Yea it is a fun car,I loved doing 60mph burnouts,and beating Corvettes etc etc..But if your car has "any sort of modification"..and it breaks,don't expect a warranty to cover your ass..Like I said,I got away with alot of things,because I found and know the loop holes,which they have closed.Take as you want,or know.I have liven the "Srt-4" life..Dude,I lived and breathed for that car,It was my baby,I loved it to death...BUT it was such a fucking relief to get it off my hands.I paid for it easily,money was no concern,but when you have a full time job,school,or whatever else you do..You NEED daily means of transportation,and if your thinking you can use the Srt-4 as your daily,and weekend beater..You have something horrible to learn.
