Was lurkin at a Neon forum just to get some skinny on the SRT-4s, bad ass machines. Lots of guys with R/Ts are talking all kinds of smack about SVTs and how they smoke 'em all day long. I have not personally raced anything in my SVT, what kind of experiece have any of you had running against Peons...er, Neons.
Granted, I realize the SVT is a road car and not a drag racer, but still, a Neon??

i cant see any model neon beating an SVTF in a drag race except the SRT-4 (obviously). Its got just about the same weight and 5trq more but 20hp less. The SXT is a joke with only 132hp. I beat one of those from a roll badly when I just had i/h/e on my d-series hatch.

GRM 2002 Hot Hatchback comparo under 20k had the neon acr hand the rest of the field it's arse on the road course they used for testing
Too bad they stopped making the ACR. I actually liked that model, it was kinda like a modern day Road Runner.

And: "The SXT is a joke with only 132hp. I beat one of those from a roll badly when I just had i/h/e on my d-series hatch."

Tell me something I don't know. Try driving the base model Neon that has the same engine, with an ATX, and without all the little convenience items that the SXT gets, for a year and a half. I mean, like with the ACR, I'd sacrifice power windows and such for better speed, but if the car is weak anyway, give me my power windows! God, I'm so glad I quit that job. I HATED those cars... [:D]

lol... yah, and whats worse is the ones ive come across are worse (mentality-wise) than the civic ricers running around. Hell, most of the civic ricers that atleast have a 5-speed and i/e could walk on them.

Kinda figured an SVT would eat an standard Neon or Neon R/T. I know the SRT4 is a quick little MoFo, I wouldnt want to race one so I give em props. Check out Neons.org thats where they talk all kind of crap about smoking Mustang GTs and Foci SVTs. Makes me chuckle.

i would still pick my svtf over an srt-4 anyday. i drove them both and the srt-4s handling was crappy compared to my svtf. the srt-4 ain't nothin without it's turbo, take the turbo away and u have just another neon!! the srt-4 may have use in the straights but in teh curves we'll eat'em up baby!! i proved it once to some guy and i'll gladly spank him again!

saying the srt4 is a POS without it's turbo is the most idiotic answer i've heard all week. it's like saying the cobra it's nothing without the supercharger, or the supra tt
the srt4 comes turbo why the **** would you take it out??, it's an OEM part, SO STOP SAYING THAT!!!!!!!! It's like me coming up to Mclaren f1 owner and talk tell him i'll race him, but he has to run in 2 pistons!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF IS THAT!!!!!!! If your car came stock turbo, i'm sure you wouldn't be saying that

Shaq is such a perfect simile for a neon!!

A lot of power and show (read: over compensation), sweats profusely when pushed hard, gets tired quickly, breaks down often, and in the end, still can't make a **ckin freethrow to save his life!!

HAHAHAHAHA!! [rofl]

yeah, its not like the engine (or any engine for that matter that wants a turbo) is built specifically for turbo... moron [?|]

P.S. - A SRT-4 boosting only 2psi can still pull on a GS-R easily... so there goes ur theory about it being just another neon engine
