Hey, just show me how to get to the end of a rainbow, and how to rearnecked-choke little people and I'd spend the pot of gold on a lexus like yours, at least it might pay for half of it...

If by "mod the hell out of them" you mean run 11.94 without ever taking the valve cover off or even the intake manifold with the stock charge pipes, turbo, pulleys, cam gears, PS, A/C, full interoir, stock returnless style fuel system, stock fuel pump, stock fuel rail, stock air box and original 22K mile air filter, stock throttlebody, stock clutch, stock axles, stock suspension, and ahhhhh, ole yeh, my wife drives it to work and to take the kids to school.
Then if that's " modding the hell out of it ", then yea.... That's get you 11.9 in a "generally ugly" dodge neon.... Add a clutch, and flip the nitrous on, and you get 11.40s.
BTW !!! What's it take to make a honda civic run a 14.9 ??? Just a new motor, new tranny, new axles, $2K turbo kit, aftermarket clutch, and... Yea... Pretty much an entirely new driveline....
The SRT4 is what it is... Its about the only 4 banger priced fairly, reliable, and doesn't give a shit about what rice boys think ( or about other $35K+ FI V8s or over priced AWD turbo 4 bangers ).
Its not a $36K cobra ( with 3 times the insurence premuim ), but its as close as some people can afford, and I've not once regreted it.
I've had a 5.0 fox, I've had a turbo honda, and I've had a turbo fox. This car is not only the fastest, but also the most reliable.

Actually the SRT-4 is on the top 10 list of most expencive cars to insure in the country the EVO being number 1. But i do agree that they are fast for what you pay for. depends on what you like.

....well.... I still say they suck. lol. And it's not just the driver, it's the fact that, as I said before, you have to mod the hell out of it for it to hold ANY value, let alone retain it.
So there, I answered the question for him. So let us leave it at that:
If you want a fast SRT-4, have an ass load of money to put into it. Otherwise, be smart and buy an import. (Not to say domestics are bad, just not quick enough for the imports.....plus I think skittles in general are ugly.)

In the infamous words of Owen Wilson "rule #5 you're an idiot!" The SRT-4 is one of the few cars you can buy virtually brand new,(by that I mean 05 or higher with 15k or less miles) and spend $30k or less for both car and mods to run low 11's and possibly 10's, (pending driver). So if you've had your ass handed to you by one then so be it but don't hate on it simply cause you think the exhaust tastes bad as it blows past you.

Hahaha. Seems people are really getting testy about an online argument. All I'm saying is I think the suck. There, it's out in the open, my opinion. If you like 'em, good for you. Enjoy your can.
As far as mods, THAT'S MY DAMN POINT! They're worthless without mods! As far as the Honda thing, never planned on making it fast. That's why I got a Supra. It already moves (and no, sorry, never tasted the exhaust of a SRT-4, but I have given them a taste), I've got basically no exhaust system, nearly bald tires, and I'm STILL beating the poor little poopers.
And so it comes to a close:
The only skittles I like are the candy.
PS. I bought the car for $950, put $715 in general maintenance. UNDER $2k. And it's nice too. Runs great, looks alright, and still puts up a hell of a fight at 20 years old.

Me vs T-76 supra MK4
Me vs T-76 supra
Putfile - SRT4vsMKIII
This was also on stock tires and IC that night...
Not shit without mods ?? Besides some flow improvements, exhuast, and a few fuel/boost mods I'm running a much of stock shit... Octane is my biggest weakness...
Anyone can buy a $1500 car, the question is... Can you run a 14.99 in it
