granted, the bugeyes have grown on me and I look at my car like a "cute, angry bullpup" but I definately do not see exotic supercar styling in it. We, folk, most definately have one of the ugliest mean-green-firebreathing-turbo-machines on this planet. Granted, like the GNX some of us like it ugly, some of us love the sedan with 5 seats.

but come on...a wrx owner making fun of another car for being ugly...
dude, the srt-4 is just a cross-eyed wrx.

I'm honestly not going to read this whole thread cause I have a short attention span, but I just wanted to state that I have absolutely no hate for SRT-4s or their drivers. I do not like the fact that it is a Neon, because I mean, come on, it's a friggin Neon man. But to me it's just another car out there: if you like it, you like it, so whatever. It's their money, not mine.

Oh and just for fun. It sucks because:

- FWD (hadn't we learned enough yet from the Honda folks?
- its *** ugly
- and to reiterate off the first responder, "ding holes" drive them

There are plans for an AWD model based on mitsubishi's lancer evo or something. I could be talking out of my u kno wut but I've read it somewhere on the srtforums several months ago.

Yup. She's from the NEON ranch
And I stand by my conviction that glorified Neon drivers are ding holes

I am a Dodge fan, and the Neon would still be ugly if it was AWD or RWD. But, its not. And the FWD is my main reason for disliking it. Did I mention its got ish for suspension?

i'd never buy one personally but if someone gave me one i'd galdy accept it.

It's not so much the car... it's MOST of the people i've met behind the wheels of them that **** me off.

I only met one cool guy so far in a safeway parking lot with a yellow srt4

One of the fewer idiots at Dodge said: "Hey lets take this Neon POS and put a maxed out turbo in it".

And that's all they said.

That's how.

xom...your trippin.

Viper?

Any number of chargers. Cuda. even the suped darts. They made some amazing muscle cars.

Personally I kinda like the srt-4 when they are fixed up some. still a neon. Still an FWD. Still has no rear auto windows....I wouldn't buy one over a wrx...and I didn't. But as far as FWD turbo cars go it's not half bad and the aftermarket is growing quick. Mopar already has some great stuff for it.

I agree with what someone said earlier too....if honda dropped a turbo in a civic an offered a suped civic for an extra $4k they would dominate the market...it would be rediculous.

mostly just saw that challenger thread and the hemi comment and had to say something...and you're from Santa Cruz...I'm ashamed.
