O.t.: Wrx - 1 / Srt4 - 0
Last night (approx: 1140 pm) I came accross a new yellow Neon SRT4 approaching Vallejo on hwy 80. He started to stare at me and so, I waved at him. His response: he gave me the finger???
I exited at Springs rd. (Vallejo) and he followed. At the first intersection/ stop light, he started to rev at me. I lowered my window and asked him what his problem was. He said your WRX is S%#T! And the Neon is the new king ???? Weird. I told him if he wasn't s%#t and go home. I then said ," follow me on Lake Herman Rd. if you can." He gave a puzzled look, and said " I'll win on whatever road we race on!" I said o.k. , follow me.
Well, he did follow for a little bit, but i noticed that his head lights were not following me anymore. I waited for 5 minutes and still no sign of the SRT. I doubled back, and noticed that he went off road!! ( I guess he trying to show me that the Neon could double as a rally car!)
I asked him if he needed some help, and he said F#$K you!
Weird, but funny at the same time. Young Filipino kid, about 16-17 years old, and it was brand new SRT Neon.
What's up with these new guys???

I don't know why those young punks are so **** strong? I can't wait to come across one.
Broken Arrow, had it been me, I would have whipped that punk's ****. There is no excuse for him to act like that. I am not convinced that the SRT-4 is anything.
I CAN'T WAIT TO COME ACROSS ONE!

It is a 2.4 DOHC turbo. From what I understand, they have it setup to where you can't even put a boost controller on the thing!

I hear from the exhaust manifolds to the turbo, it's one peice!
so, headers+upipe is a one piece design...
now, if 300hp, and 300 lbs of tq. is all they going to muster, then I really don't see the point. It would be a fast car, but hardly drivable at the limits, as we've found out.

I'd guess that it's the thumbs down smack talk from WRX messaging boards. I saw at least a couple of threads on i-Club in General. It just went on and on, bashing Neons, Dodge, front-wheel drive, etc. Man, I started to feel sorry for Neon owners who were branded as stupid or jerks for buying their car with their money. The SRT-4 may not be my choice for a performance car, but it doesn't bother me in the least if someone else wants to be driving one.
Consequently, if an SRT-4 owner feels persecuted by rex owners they've never met, maybe they need some quality anger management counseling. No need to start a manufacturer blood feud over it.
You did the honorable thing by asking the guy if he needed assistance. It's on him if he couldn't swallow his pride enough to accept your help.
They're just cars, for pete's sake.

maybe that might be the case for 1 incident, but when you see a string of instances, it appears to be an emerging trend. besides, seeing as this is a 16-17yr i highly doubt he paid for this car. and i see too many other fcks acting like that.
im gonna be 18 and have paid for most of the car, but would cockslap myself for even thinking of acting like that.

bein a neon owner myself, i already have the firesuit on to take some heat for that guy.
That being said, i'll say this. I have an equal ammount of respect for anyone drivin any tuned car until they either turn out to be full of it, or an ***. We're all in this to have fun, well...most of us. We all get crap from the guys who drive "real cars" who we seem to have a habit of smokin like cheap cigars on a regular basis.

Obviously rookies....
Okay I just have to stop all the Bull-shat thats going around the forums regarding rex's and srt-4's. I don't spit B.S. so please if you want flaming go to your uncle *******'s pad this is for real .......
1.) stock for stock pound for pound hands down the SRT-4 will win in a race street or drag. 223Whp 247Wtorque documented dyno numbers.
2.) okay, if you want to rally let me get my friggin peugot or an sti. the srt-4 is not a damn rally car. its a bonafide sports compact car that whoops on your rex. If you have mods okay, now the game changes only a bit unless you have cobb tuning backing your pampered asses. Your wrx is 160 whp hello!!
3.) I have raced 3 wrx's 2 stock and one silver wth a black carbonfiberhood sporting "cobb tuning in black stickers. all killed by an srt-4. Now since there is doubt about the srt-4 I am carrying my digital camcorder just in case. My only loss is to an NSX after I hit 130 he flew by okay!.
4.) to the owner of the black wrx driving in southern california I-5 Southbound @ about 10pm I smoked the hell out of you!!!!!!! I am in the carpool lane red srt-4 a black wrx with catback limo tint pulls up @ about 80mph. I knew he wanted a piece but I wouldn't have it. Just to prove the resillient "*****" of the srt-4 I gave him the signal and off he went I gave em 2 seconds. I tap the brake, downshift to 3rd then 4th then 5th when I stopped @ 130mph ( no traffic) he was easily 6 car lengths.
5.) okay the beauty of all wheel drive, sure you beat us off the line only for about1.5 seconds because when I drop into second you dissipate into the nerdy redneck sister bangin startrekky masturbator freak. I am not saying all owners are like that but c'mon I see em all the time @lake forrest N rockfield.
6.) oooh the sti is coming, well I love quality built cars and value with performance! the nameplate of the srt-4 is just that!!!!! WHen the sti comes out with (true hp ) about 250hp and 240 torque I will be getting stage 2 which is 275hp @ the damn wheels meaning high 12's easy and goodbye sti !!!
7.) ITS NOT THE CAR ITS THE DRIVER\
sorry for the blah blah blah **** but hey, the subaru is the ****!!!! its an awesome car, but for not recognizing that now you need to buy prodrive stage 3 just to get 280 upgrade just to parallel the performance of that of the srt-4 that says something!! recognize that the srt-4 has you and there is( for now) a new ruler for the scc title talk all the crap you want but the fact remains your stock wrx will be had and made into the ***** that it is!!!!!!!!!!!
