Thretened?

Nah why should I be thretened. I have had a couple of SRT-4 owners give me that stare and rev their engines. I just point to my back seat where my son who is two is sitting. I may not be the slowest driver on the road by far, but I will not endanger the life of my child. If you want to race take it to the track. one guy got pissed off I wouldn't race and cut me off a little closer than I would have liked to blow by me. I am sure most drivers are normal, but dang that makes me mad when they can't understand that I won't do something stupid because I am a father.
If we were on a race track that would be a different story. Oh and I have gotten used to the STi wing. It doesn't bother me so much. My remark on the wing on a neon is that it is less designed for providing proper down force and more to look cool when compaired to the stock wings you find on EVO's and STi's.

On a side note EvoWorks makes a set of vertical fins that sit on the rear of the roof. They help channel the air back over the wing to provide even better down force. I haven't seen this for the STi yet, but according to the technical manager at work's it really does help.

I have seen dick heads in cars other than SRT-4's but I think the over all point is that at less than 20K it is within reach of a lot of kids who have not realized their own mortality yet. This means that they, and I am making a generalization here, act stupid, and push the cars beyond their abilities more than somone who is older and owns a 30K+ car.

Don't get offended by the remark, as I am basing this off my own experiance as an 18 year old.

No car is truly safe dude. You hit a wall at 100+ you're toast. I don't care what you are driving.

Safety first..

Well this is true, but if you are dumb enough to hit a wall straight on a 100+ then you are kinda pushing it in my opinion.
I used be stupid when I was younger so it isn't that I totaly don't understand where they are coming from.

That's where you're wrong Soggy. You're clearly forgetting the the SRT is so fast it actually exists in a parallel universe. When you see one you are seeing a mere image of its existance, it's tangible being is actually light years away so in reality it can hit nothing. It may look as if it hit something but it's driver and the car itself are far from reality. SRTs and their drivers exist in a state of mutual symbiosis, one cannot exist without the other. That is why you can physically touch one in a dealership parking lot but once its driver is inside and operating it that's totally different. It morphs away into a different galaxy the moment it begins to accelerate. Thank God because the constant sonic boom would bug me. Thank you Dodge for not only a Godly car but a well designed parallel universe.

Some i-clubber do 100 on an everyday basis.

65-70 or even 45 if you hit that wall there is always that chance of not coming out alive.

Unless you drive an SRT-4 then it's all just an illusion.

a white SRT-4 with a "large" driver at the Automall in Fremont. We were going opposite directions and both in the inside lane. When we passed each other he propped up from his seat and gave a 2 thumbs down while doing 50+ mph. Idiot...
