Apparently some Mustang owners out there have a grudge or something to prove!My favorite part is where it says, "All Races were Performed on a Closed Circuit." Then the next scene is titled, "Street Light Run #1." This video is old, too. Anyone see the video where the two ricers were going at it, and then a Mustang (or maybe Camaro) came out of nowhere, made it a surprise 3 car race, and smoked the crap out of them anyway? That was a good video!

I like the one where a Supra twin turbo and an RS 6 are battling on the higway, up comes a Mustang (one of those limited edition lx 5.0 convertibles in all yellow). Next thing you know, the RS6 says goodbye to everyone.

What's your point? I'm sure we can find R kills on other forums (probably much easier too... well actually, no, not too many people bother running against the R). And how much in mods would they have spent? And even then, if someone managed to make one that could beat a stock, 400hp C6, it wouldn't stop me from smiling while behind the wheel of the 'vette! By the way, I beat an SRT-4, stock for stock, in the R...

I was just saying the SRT4 guys are an even prouder group of car owners than people who have R's. It would be rare for a neon to actually beat a vette. The vet is pretty much borderline supercar. The biggest thing that keeps it out of that category is the low price in comparison to performance.

Did you read the latest C&D?They have the 1st place FWD supertuner, a Dodge Neon SRT4. Total cost? 43,153 dollars... Quarter mile? 13.4 @ 112 MPH! A base 'vette starts at 44k and will easily beat 13.4, unless the driver really sucks.

Don't ever let an SRT-4 owner hear you call it a Neon. I saw a guy get slugged for it. They actually think they are not Neon owners.Whateva!

I like how the Neon- er, excuse me, SRT-4  , lost to two old-school Mopar turbos, one of which was a minivan.Makes me want to find a Shadow/Sundance with a 2.2 or 2.5 Turbo in the junkyard and put the motor in mine. But would it then still be a Shadow, or would it be an "SRT-Shadillac"?

Many of my friends own SRT4s and they are amazing cars. Cheap and extremely easy to get power out of. I know some people that run high 12s and have not spent $23,000 on mods to achieve that like they Powell SRT in C&D did.

The downfall is they are still front wheel drive and very traction limited. You have to have a quaiffe and some really good rubber to keep the tires from breaking loose.

I think the 04+ models come with a Quieffe LSD from the factory....only the first-year run had open diffs. I don't know about the tires, but they've supposedly got drive axles that are similar in length so torque steer isn't that big of an issue. That being said, FWD still sucks. Other than that, the NEON SRT-4 is a pretty sweet car.
