SRT-4 crew.....how does it feel?

[drumnatural]

To be the most hated car in history. :rotfl:

Honestly though. The car is fast I give you that. That is a big reason why it's so hated. It's cheap and can be made faster cheap too.

But what I want to know is if you guys really wanted the car or if you just "settled" for it because you couldn't get something else.

[big18g]

o shit..i feel this is going to be a good one:run:
inblimesourandthegaynessthatfollows

[WRX STi KILLA]

i wanted one.

[WRX STi KILLA]

i will never get a front wheel drive car, for my self again.

[Zissou]

i will never get a front wheel drive car, for my self again.

nor i; i wanted a WRX instead of the RSX, used to have a dumpy '93 impreza wagon 5 speed and that thing was the problem-free king of winter, as far as going anywhere fast or in style, it'll be RWD no matter what.

[limesour67]

ohh brotha!!!

[drumnatural]

i will never get a front wheel drive car, for my self again.

agreed

[big18g]

id get a neon to make it strictly a plaything for the weekends and when im bored....def not good for daily driving or weekend getaways though:o

shit, those things can be made so damn fast for such little money its insane:nervous:
too bad they're fwd though, that just pisses on everything

Also people are making them look gay with those neon lights and Racing stripes FTL.:thumbsdow. The damn car is quick though, 2 many damn street ricers:laughing:

[limesour67]

to be honest, i didnt think much of the srt-4 before i bought it, i though it was a turbo'd neon, but then i started doin research about it, I found out that the srt-4 is built much different from the regular neon(different suspension, diff. motor and trans, etc. the only thing that it shares is the shell and the interior panels, along with the head & tail lights.Then my cousin bought a srt-4 before i did, so i got to test drive it and i liked it. I like the way it looks, looks very aggressive with a FMIC too. people who talk down on it are ignorant(at least about the car) and dont have the balls to buy an american 4-banger because they scared of reliability issues. And all of the stories about srt-4 breakin down and blowin up motors.....well any car that is modded the way a srt-4 get modded is gonna break down sooner or later, before moddin u should know that you will throw all of ur reliability crap down the drain.

well there's my story, i like my car and im proud of it. I hope you are proud of your own car too, whatever ur reasons may be.

[liL_Vicious559]

I don't remember if any of you followed up on the SRT4 back in 01-02. But i remember they were talking about it coming out and the picture i saw was, A black SRT4 with White Racing stripes coming down from the hood and the Specs were:

2.0L
205Hp
Supercharged Fwd
Topspeed 145+mph
0-60....sub 6sec.

This is what i remember reading through on the Magazines when they were producing the SRT4. But Everything has changed

[Machina]

Going to want to be in on one for this one.

wow, u were almost funny....plz try again n0ob


nontheless, i bet some ricer is gonna positive rep' you, i lawl @ THIS PLACE

[TYPEzachS]

Ok now I see why everyone hates you. Actually im lieing you always looked like a asswipe to me:thumbsup:

EDIT: Oh and btw I was being for real, take our body and interior and you'r lil pea shooter and nice price and id deffinetly take it.

[carnage]

This is a good question and one that I will take seriously.

I love the car. Always have. I even like the interior on it.

I was actually going to buy a 350Z, but since I am tighter than hell, I was dreading making a car payment that was going to run over 500 dollars a month. I loved the way the 350 looked, though.

But then..........

I started reading some things about the neon in motor trend and Car and Driver and stuff, and I saw some of the times that the little bitch was putting down. 0-60 in less than six seconds??? 13 second 1/4 mile times??? The 350 wasn't putting down trap speeds this good.

And so I test drove one in 04, and really liked them...a lot. However, the dealer would not budge on the price, and since I am tight, I wasn't about to pay retail for the damned thing. I bought a mustang in the meantime, because I got a helluva deal on it, and didn't buy the 350 because they were having some kind of tire issue. I didn't hate the mustang, but I just didn't like it. If I had a mustand, I wanted a cobra, not the GT thing that I had.

I couldn't get that stupid neon out of my mind. I then read where the stage kits were putting down ridiculous times for not too much money, and that just got me started on them again. The more I read on the things, the more I became impressed with them.

I hated dodge products before I bought this car, and I couldn't have told you anything about a neon before the SRT came along. Anyhow, I went back to the lot again and thought I would look at it and the cobalt, becuase they had just come out. The cobalt was okay, but did nothing for me. I drove the neon again....same feeling...just loved it.

I then made up my mind that I was going to buy one, and I went out and sent out six faxes to six different dealers and having them send me quotes for the cheapest price I could buy one for. After six weeks, I finally got the car that I have for the price that I wanted.

I guess you could make an argument that I settled, because I didn't want to pay the high dollar price of the 30 plus thousand sports cars. I have never felt that way, though. I have always felt that I got a bargain.....a real bang for the buck. I've had a lot of cars that I have spent WAY too much money on, and I won't ever make that mistake again.

I like it because it is hated. I like it because it beats those that it shouldn't. I like it because it isn't respected. Every other car I ever had was always expected to be fast. This one is always the under dog. I will never again spend the high dollars on cars that I used to in my life, because it is such a waste of money to me. What gives me my enjoyment is the bang for the buck.

After having the car for almost three years, I can pretty much say that there isn't much I don't like about it. I hate the boost leaks, and at times, they will drive me insane. I have never bought the t-clamps that I should have to reduce the leaks, but I someday will. And there are times that I don't like the front wheel drive, and when I someday will buy another car, I will buy rear wheel drive, but overall, this car has been all that I thought it would be---and all for 350 a month.

[Machina]

Man, I could really go for a workout. Maybe I'll sit in my back seats and roll my windows up and down for a couple reps... Sorry, had to do it.

There's a Neon in Pittsburgh I've seen twice that had LCD screens in the back of its headrests and has blue lights on the inside. It's also blue btw. Sucks it isn't an SRT-4 though.

[liL_Vicious559]

yep, i still have that issue of motortrend:thumbsup:
the interior had lots of blue painted bits in it too if i recall correctly

Yeah i remember the seat being like blue and white or something. I can't believe you still have yours, My wife probably through mine away...lol

[limesour67]

Ok now I see why everyone hates you. Actually im lieing you always looked like a asswipe to me:thumbsup:

EDIT: Oh and btw I was being for real, take our body and interior and you'r lil pea shooter and nice price and id deffinetly take it.

dont confuse hate with fear my son, im LAWLIN in here, people spend so much $$$ on the overprice ricerockets but they cant keep up with a neon, not even in a internet forum...u people dissapoint me.

[limesour67]

who the hell positive rep me.......??????? finally someone is startin to see the light.

[TYPEzachS]

Your a lil e-thug Ill give ya some +rep :chuck:

EDIT: Shit im on lock so don't :chuck: my ass

[TYPEzachS]

Anyways Limesour unless E-thuging is your passion just calm down just because people look at you dosn't meen their giving you dirty looks. Only got one life you want to spend it Thugin online about cars? A neon none the less?

[big18g]

lol.....he will never understand man.....just like ODUB.....they will forever be the way they are..hahaha

[limesour67]

Anyways Limesour unless E-thuging is your passion just calm down just because people look at you dosn't meen their giving you dirty looks. Only got one life you want to spend it Thugin online about cars? A neon none the less?

what makes you think im the e-thug, u should read all of my thread and my posts and u will soon find out that i get provoked each and everytime, of course i reply gladly, so there's ur e-thuggin.........

[limesour67]

lol.....he will never understand man.....just like ODUB.....they will forever be the way they are..hahaha

u a major e-thug big18, so dont even start, just beacuse people like you because u had the riciest of all of the rsx's on earth at one point, that doesnt mean u get to e-thug and get away wit it.

[TYPEzachS]

LOL well maybe you'r just paranoid and you think you'r being provoked. Easy on the meds.

[big18g]

what makes you think im the e-thug, u should read all of my thread and my posts and u will soon find out that i get provoked each and everytime, of course i reply gladly, so there's ur e-thuggin.........

wtf is that even supposed to mean??????:dontknow::confused:
you just contradicted yourself....how old are you anyway?

[big18g]

btw, i work in a pharmacy and we treat MANY kids like yourself....im sure you forgot your daily dose of Zyprexa or Zoloft....not to mention that you are probably on adderall....

[TYPEzachS]

Im thinking atleast 6?:dontknow:

[big18g]

nah....at least 12...anyone under that wont be taking those meds, they have a very risky side effect of suicide...seriously

im guessing 17-18 and he just got his first car.....thinks its teh rocket......and gets so pissy and provokes so easily because he probaly is bipolar...maybe a hint of add.....and when you provoke a person like that into getting upset, they have little to no control of their thoughts, feelings, emotions...therefore he lashes out as hard as he can to try to provoke others...most often there is little logic behind actions like that...hence the stupid posts he makes when pissed

[limesour67]

wow, u are really creative on ur jokes..oh well i guess ill just wait and see the idiots who actually laugh at them.

[TYPEzachS]

Its ok you'r avitar says a lot about you.

[big18g]

wow, u are really creative on ur jokes..oh well i guess ill just wait and see the idiots who actually laugh at them.

i wasnt making a joke:dontknow:

we may as well be brothers carnage..thats the same thing for me.

i was looking at a 350z, cobalt ss s/c, and ion redline, and lastly the srt-4.

i still love the little fucker, and always will. i loved how it drove, how it felt behind the wheel, the sound of the exhaust...everything. its just a fun fucking car to drive, end of story.

for those that talk shit on it and have never driven on..drop the biased bullshit and try one and just beat the piss out of it. guaranteed to put a smile on your face. the harder you beat on it, the more it comes alive and seems to just beg for more.

[big18g]

its not nearly the srt4's people trashtalk as it is the owners that make it look bad. ive said it again and again, you and carnage and a very few others (locals) are the VERY few cool owners....just look at limesour and the likes of him, can you honestly tell me that he's not ruining srt4's rep everywhere? and the sad part is that there are lots of others exactly the same:(

reason for this is: the car is too damn cheap for its own good......it enables stupid 16 y/o's everywhere to get mommy and daddy to buy them one and then they act like fucksticks....sad sad sad:(


aside from that, the only thing i have against the srt4 is the fwd...it really kills it for me....other than that, i LOVE THE power/dollar ratio and the srt4's power capabilities, not to mention the sound/etc...im not a big fan of how it looks but i can live with that....

see, i didnt really like it at first..but it grew on me. granted, the 'side view' doesnt seem right, and the thing NEEDS a good set of drop springs, but eh..i love the front/rear views of the car. but yeah, if it were awd, even part-time, it would be even more cherry. but hell, for the price and what you get for it, you really cant deny that its a great bargain.

and yeah, i hate the younger skittle owners. i have some of them rev on me now. i just look over and laugh and ask what they have done..i then begin to tell them what mods they should get and they just look at me all consfused and shit...silly ricers.

[carnage]

Vlad...you are right. The driver's of them can just wear you out. The one thing I love about it is that it is affordable, but that's the knock on it too, because every kid can have one. They may be worse than some of the RSX fanbois.

Keeb....can totally relate. I've always said that if you could somehow let someone drive the neon without them being able to know what it is, they would totally see it differently than they do now. Just a shame how people let their biases keep them from seeing it for what it is.

[big18g]

a buddy of mine has one...cai/wga/tbe(side exhaust no resonator/etc) and apexi safc....tuned and whatnot....VERY peppy little thing....it pulls and it pulls hard, not to mention how hardcore it sounds.....its just funny to see him battle 1st and 2nd gears for traction every time he floors it:mam:

yeah..after about 3 bolt ons, you dont have traction in first anymore. kinda funny, but pretty shitty at the same time. it lives for the highway..not near as much as a supra, but the highway is the srt's home. there is a vid of a .50 trim skittle pulling on a c5 z06 (with nitrous) on the top end..pretty impressive if i may say so.

I remember when I 1st read about the srt in 01 in a magazine there was a picture of a yellow one with a graffiti wall backround with no hood scoop and I believe it was supercharged in the specs.

yeah..the initial R&D had the srt-4 with a small blower..they then opted for the td04 snail. :giggitygiggity:

[big18g]

i beleive the supercharged one is the black one from motortrend...i still have that magazine....and the yellow one was already a turbo production model that JUST came out and they made comments about it "having a wing worthy of any hot-rodders eclipse" or someshit...i still have that picture in one of the motor-trend magazines too..shit, i have too many c/d and m/t:laughing:
i collect them

true that...but NOT with the mods limesour has hahahaha:laughat:
hell, there are wrx's doing low 12's on them too, lots of folks actually like to take that route: max that little td04 the fuck out with ultra high psi (25psi is the most ive seen yet) on race gas, ewg, port/polish, etc....and with that much psi the turbo spools QUICK with torque jumping like a freight train at like 2500rpm:eek:
yeah, its not too bad i guess, especially when compared to the vw's turbos':laughat:

[Goomelon]

The Cobalt SS is getting right up there with the al mighty SRT4:laughing:

have you actually driven a Cobalt SS? its really quite disappointing... steering sucks, transmission not so nice (maybe something i'd get used to?)... fucking rev limiter came in before the redline, and second gear felt like it was trying to do some weird traction control thing (and i don't even know if it has traction control...) oh and it has really bland styling (but that's subjective).

I want to think that it was just isolated crapiness on that particular (new) car, but i really don't know, as i've only driven one. It may be fast (though it didn't really feel like it), but the fun to drive factor just wasn't quite there...

As for the SRT-4, i strongly considered getting one, but ended up getting the RSX as they kept pushing the release date back... shame they replaced it with that new thing that looks like a matrix...

[Drewk20z1]

The turbo on the Mini Cooper actually comes in a box of Cheerios.

yeah true that, but man a guy here locally has a tbe/bigger fmic/and a flash and puts down 225whp:eek:
thats damn good for that car's weight/size

[orangekeebler]

yeah...and they are awesome auto-x cars (if youre into that sorta thing).

[big18g]

oh, and 265wtq

[big18g]

think about it: a tiny ass gocart looking thing putting down 225whp/265wtq with 2600lbs to move..thats not bad AT ALL, esp considering that thats only 3 mods

yes, like yo mom jokes

fuck you. :rotfl:

[Machina]

The Mini Cooper S dominates its class, but sadly whenever something can challenge it the SCCA pretty much purposely prevents it from becoming competition. Like the RSX Type-S A-Spec is not allowed to run in the same class. In fact, the A-Spec springs and shocks put the Type-S into STS... which is a huuuuge class, meaning it isn't very competitive anymore. The ITR still beats it, but the ITR is in a "higher" up class.

Damned fast little Mini Coopers....

[W1lson]

it must feel great to run 13's stock

[big18g]

fuck you. :rotfl:

:thumbsup:

[xonic]

To be the most hated car in history. :rotfl:

Honestly though. The car is fast I give you that. That is a big reason why it's so hated. It's cheap and can be made faster cheap too.

But what I want to know is if you guys really wanted the car or if you just "settled" for it because you couldn't get something else.

Meh, all I was looking at was a wrx or an srt-4. The only subies I could find around the price I wanted had more miles than I cared for. Then I found a desperate dealer selling an 05 srt-4 for 17,700 w/ 12,xxx miles so I bought it. The srt-4 is the car.....that has made be loath fwd.

vroom ......vroom......don't hate you old geezer :laughing: Get some mods on that ls1 so we can run.

I remember the kid that had the red srt-4. Always driving around in the northland blipping his mopar rice plate at everyone. Didn't even have a clue what mods he had since he bought it used. Then when people told him he was slow and refused to race him he starts talking about his (dad's) camaro that would smoke everything (it ran 11's :rolleyes:).

vroom ......vroom......don't hate you old geezer :laughing: Get some mods on that ls1 so we can run.

I remember the kid that had the red srt-4. Always driving around in the northland blipping his mopar rice plate at everyone. Didn't even have a clue what mods he had since he bought it used. Then when people told him he was slow and refused to race him he starts talking about his (dad's) camaro that would smoke everything (it ran 11's :rolleyes:).

i thought it was funny. he claimed he had stage 2...so we followed him into a parking lot and asked him to pop his hood.

yeah, deffinitely stock. he did have a couple powder coated parts though. :rotfl:

good thing he sold it and got a type RRRRRR.

good thing he sold it and got a type RRRRRR.

but the dude that bought it still has no idea how to mod it..or drive it. he does the same shit the other one did.

one of his friends said (when i was driving my black srt): "dude, i thought you just had a regular neon and added to make it look like an srt"

[magnEsium]

I always wanted an SRT-4, if I hadn't gotten my RSX-S, I would of had one FOR SURE.


You might see me crack jokes about SRT-4's, but its only in defense to my RSX



How can you deny this?

I looked at the Rsx S and Srt4 back in 2004. I liked the srt4 all around, I liked both cars. I was nervous about buying a domestic from dodge. It later showed it was a reliable car but I was unsure how it would hold up at the time. I've always liked the srt4. If it had been a Ford or Chevy I would have gotten it. So I purchased another import for myself. I have a lot of love for the srt4. The owners usually not so much.

That, right there, is why I hate the SRT-4. As I've said before, there's very very few SRT-4 owners I like. The car just ATTRACTS douchebags. And if the person isn't one prior to buying one, they will probably be turned into by the car. I'd never want to be affiliated with those people that drive that car, and limesour is a prime example as to why.

well, its not like honda doesnt have their share of fuckwads too. they have far more i think..mainly because a pos 90's civic hatch/crx/accord/civic, is dirt fucking cheap, and autozone just loves to supply them with led shit and ractive mufflers.

Yup, you're right. But if we wanted to get into semantics, I don't drive a honda. That being said, previous to this car I wasn't into "the scene", as it's called. Now that I am, there's NO car you can own that doesn't have it's share of fuckwads. But, to me, the SRT4 owners are some of the worst. Well, they're right up there with mexi-ricers.

And keeb, ya know I got nothin against ya. You're one of the few (now previous) SRT4 owners I could stand. But ya, there's plenty of retards (more coming in every day) with RSX's.

I was in the market of purchasing a WRX. I drove a friend's and like the way it drove. But after 2 weeks of researching on the vehicle on local and big internet forums i didn't want it after hearing alot of issues with the trans, and so much BS you have to deal with when modifing it.

So i looked into the SRT-4 checked it out at a local dealership loved the tone of the factory exhaust. Overall i liked the price that i was going to purchase it out the door. Performance parts have been cheap so i dont have much of complaining to do. Love the car haven't looked back since. Its mainly garage kept now. I highly doubt i would get rid of it, its paid off for:D.

The car just ATTRACTS douchebags.

i own 2 wrx's and no tranny problems of any sort:dontknow:
and i dont know A SINGLE wrx owner that had tranny problems unless they drove the car like stupid ass fasst and furious fucktards....almost every car has a weakness, that you must admit, the transmission being finicky and requiring for you to treat it good is wrx's weakness (unless of course you drive an sti or have ppg gears) but like i said, if you dont treat it like a retarded speed racer itl serve you well:thumbsup:

To be the most hated car in history. :rotfl:

Honestly though. The car is fast I give you that. That is a big reason why it's so hated. It's cheap and can be made faster cheap too.

But what I want to know is if you guys really wanted the car or if you just "settled" for it because you couldn't get something else.

i dunno why it would be bad that an srt-4 owner would "settle" for a car thats faster than something you apparently "settled" for

[Hammerhead i-Eagle Thrust]

i dont know why you think being slightly faster is worth having a terrible car that you have to live with every day actually ends up costing you more when you go to sell it because the resale value is in the shitter

[Broken5hifT]

i dont know why you think being slightly faster is worth having a terrible car that you have to live with every day actually ends up costing you more when you go to sell it because the resale value is in the shitter

i bought the car because it was a cheap pocket rocket. if i wanted a car for any other reason i would have gotten something better than an rsx which offers nothing. for example, when i bought the srt-4 i had gotten a tsx, which takes your rsx and shits all over it in the categories you posted above

[Hammerhead i-Eagle Thrust]

tsx is a full second slower then the rsx though..lol and the resale is no better

[Broken5hifT]

tsx is a full second slower then the rsx though..lol and the resale is no better

yea ok, its about 10k more and might actually be considered luxury compared to the rsx. denial really has you doesnt it. dont worry, i'd be in a bad mood too if i drove Acura's cheapest, slowest, and now discontinued model as my only car

I didn't "settle" for my car. When I saw the 05 I wanted it right off the bat. I had an EP3 before so the Type-S is an improvement in many catergories.

I don't know many SRT-4 owners that fell in love with the car as soon as they saw it. I'm not downplaying what the SRT-4 is. It is a cheap fast car.

The TSX is luxury. The RSX is not. The K24 isn't as good of a tuner motor as the K20A2 or Z1. What it is good for is the bottom end though. That with one of our heads along with a few other mods gives you a high reving frank motor.

To say the RSX offers nothing is very ignorant and this sub forum has no place for ignorant fucks like yourself.

when i saw the srt-4 and what it had to offer i immediately jumped on it. i was driving a GSR at the time and was in the midst of putting F/I on it when i started hearing about the srt-4. your contradicting your own question, the srt-4 owners bought the car for the same reason you bought yours, something appealed to them. for me it was cheap, fast, fun. ive always been someone who enjoys an under dog car. i liked that it had 4 doors so i could drive me friends around, i liked that it had a turbo instead of a supercharger and the more i read up on it the more it seemed like a fun car to mod (which is what i was looking for). did it have a crappy interior? yes, no doubt about it. but that had nothing to do with why i was looking at the car. i bought the rsx as daily driver and quickly realized i was not happy at all in it. it wasnt fast, and the interior was crappy, not as crappy as the srt-4 but nothing id brag about either. i just didnt enjoy it at all. so i traded in my rsx for the tsx so i could at least have the four doors and some upgraded luxury and amenities. the srt-4 was never ment to be anything besides a balls to the walls pocket rocket for me.

so when you say settle i get a bit confused, because to me the rsx offers nothing over the srt-4. yes the rsx can be made fast, but for less money the srt-4 is faster stock, can fit people more comfortably, and has much more room to put stuff in.

If anything if you drive an rsx you settled for something less, if you all keep saying the rsx has a better interior than the srt-4, well the tsx has a better interior than the rsx so again, you have settled for less.

I'm not here to argue interiors because who really cares about an interior of any car under $30k.

You can't compare the SRT-4 to and RSX besides in price range new. As for price range used we all know how well the RSX holds it's value.

Also the amount of abuse/mods the RSX can handle is impressive. If you look at the majority of threads in the problems/solutions section it's stuff that usually go back to user error(except for tranny issues at times).

"settling" is in the eye of the beholder. My point was to see if most SRT-4 owners that post here "settled" on their car. Lets point out the fact that most SRT-4 owners here now have a different car or were banned from there forums or come here for the lulz.

Most of us here bought the car because we love our car. Now it has it's shortcomings like every other car. But it holds it's own for what it is.

I am being serious. SRT-4 can be modded to be fast as fuck for realllll cheap. My RSX is nothing special so I dont see how us RSX owners can look down on SRT-4s like we do. As much as I want to mod my RSX, it'll get expensive quick.

i can die a happy man if someone just listens to me about this. the srt-4 is a very well built car, surprisingly as it may be the car can handle a load of abuse and power. just like you stated 95% of the issues with srt-4's are because of the owners fucking things up. i cannot describe how infuriating it is reading posts how people are bending the wastegate arms to get more boost because they cant afford an adjustable one. then 2 months later the car is pushing 24psi and finally tanks and the stupid faggot cant understand why and blames the car. Ive been a mechanic for a number of years, and ive worked on tons of car and modded just as many and i would put my life savings on the srt-4 being a decent car. people who track it everyweekend and daily drive it everyday who have over 80k or 100k miles on their cars have had zero issue with them because they modded the cars correctly not like the hundreds of stupid ricer faggots from srtforums who change their oil while the cars running :run:

I don't get how others can look down on the car either, the proof is in the pudding (as the saying goes). The OWNERS of srt4's are the ones I look down on. Because alot of srt4 owners were previous gsr/EG/EK ricky racer street ricers probably revving at anything that had a mod, even if it's just an exhaust tip. Exceptions to every rule, and I run in to PLENTY of douche bags in aforementioned cars that feel the need to rev or "blow off" at me at every given opportunity. I laugh.

I can't deny the SRT being fast. But what did you expect, comparing it to an RSX? You're comparing a 2.4L to a 2.0L and Boost to NA. Sure the SRT is cheaper, because it's domestic. But hell, if I was to boost my car right now, I could make RIDICULOUS amounts of power and STILL have a smaller displacement than an SRT.

Fact still remains, dodge can barely do, forced induction, what honda can do naturally aspirated.

to be honest, i respect the SRT-4 and its a hell of a car to mod cheaply, had it been out back in 2002 i would likely have gone for it over the base RSX on OTD price alone, i mean DAMN for 20k its a rocket; i dont hate the car, i hate some of the drivers though, same with some RSX/Eclipse?Evo/Mustang etc guys. chances are, somewhere, someone has a MUCH faster car than yours; get over it. love YOUR car for why you got it; no need to go starting arguments about my car vs ur car etc.

and frankly, while i do like the styling of my RSX inside and out, i dont think its a solid argument to say SRT-4=faster but RSX interior is better; style review is opinion-based.

The Cobalt SS is getting right up there with the al mighty SRT4:laughing:

cobalts shit on the rsx's chest.....or dash board....... What ever gives you the better visual thats what the cobalt doo doo falls on.

[Kevin949]

to be honest, i respect the SRT-4 and its a hell of a car to mod cheaply, had it been out back in 2002 i would likely have gone for it over the base RSX on OTD price alone, i mean DAMN for 20k its a rocket; i dont hate the car, i hate some of the drivers though, same with some RSX/Eclipse?Evo/Mustang etc guys. chances are, somewhere, someone has a MUCH faster car than yours; get over it. love YOUR car for why you got it; no need to go starting arguments about my car vs ur car etc.

and frankly, while i do like the styling of my RSX inside and out, i dont think its a solid argument to say SRT-4=faster but RSX interior is better; style review is opinion-based.

style is opinion based for sure, but you gotta understand that the general public of people that will be looking for a car in the price ranges these cars fall under, more people like the exterior styling of the RSX over the Neon. Plus alot of people, for some unknown reason, connect "Acura" with "Classy" and not "Dodge" with "Classy". You know what I mean?

Well, I guess I should say around where I live that's how it is anyway.

yeah i gotcha there, but the market dynamics and target buyers are a different class of people too; the RSX was targeted at upper middle class 21-28 yr olds, the SRT-4 targets 18-24 yr olds in a lower income expectancy bracket, and i gotcha on the intro lux coupe vs fast econobox styling/marketing

Besides......a low 13 second from the factory RWD will be my next fun car.

lol the interior is nice but the entire car got a massive overhaul. it feels, drives, and handles so much better. i just found it funny after all this arguing you pointed out its interior among all the things it has to offer

[big18g]

135i is cool and all

but i'd still rather have a 335i

true, i also think their better but when money isnt flowing like the river of jordan you have to settle for the 135i:o

[Hammerhead i-Eagle Thrust]

yea ok, its about 10k more and might actually be considered luxury compared to the rsx. denial really has you doesnt it. dont worry, i'd be in a bad mood too if i drove Acura's cheapest, slowest, and now discontinued model as my only car

yeah..the rsx isnt luxury...tsx is a much nicer family car..you didn't even come close to responding to what i posted...must be illiterate...thus the srt-4:thumbsup:

i said resale value and u said it cost's 10k more...um are u a fucking retard? what does the price have to do with the percentage of value that it retains? and also it runs 16s..16s is just too damn slow..its a nice car though, id drive one over an rsx, but at this point in my life ill trade the power for the 4 doors and luxury...but I wont trade quality for power

[big18g]

16's is slow as opposed to 15's?:rolleyes:


and i lol'd at the "i wouldnt trade luxury for power" comment:mam:
since the rsx has the same power

[Hammerhead i-Eagle Thrust]

you owned an rsx u idiot...u made the same choice

14s vs very high 15s...im almost positive u would pick the rsx over the tsx too so stfu..lol

i mean u have a HIIIGH 13 second car(idk what ur fairy ass modded wrx runs...probably like 13.6...lol..i know i know 12s 12s 12s) anyways ur making fun of a 14 second car from a 13 second car? seems to be the same thing...tsx is slow...i beat an auto tsx in my 16.0 second automatic se-r by 4 cars from a stop...from a 30 roll it came back and pulled on me at like 120 after falling back a couple cars...its like comparing a car that is as slow as everything else on the road to a car with 80s sports car performance...lol

techncally the rsx has less power i think..but it weighs like 700lbs less

[big18g]

wtf is me having owned an rsx have anything to do with the fact that given a choice, i would have picked the much more expensive and better quality tsx? :stfu:
i owned 4 rsx's, doesnt mean shit.....the first two i was a 16yo ricer boy who thought he could take over the world....by the 3rd one i got MUCH smarter and less ricier...the 4th one i bought i didnt even care that it was a fwd torque-less econobox, i just liked the car..period....not cause it did 14's stock over the 16's of the tsx, and DEF not cause it had any kinda performance to offe,r but just cause i liked the car..and how it looked/drove/etc......

[big18g]

by the time i got my white one, if i would have had the money to get a tsx i would've......but around here they are VERY expensive (as opposed to rsx) and almost no used ones for sale(at the time)....plus, i wanted something with 2 doors and the much more agressive looks of the rsx..

[Broken5hifT]

yeah..the rsx isnt luxury...tsx is a much nicer family car..you didn't even come close to responding to what i posted...must be illiterate...thus the srt-4:thumbsup:

lmao i doubt you could afford the tsx anyways, 1 sec difference makes such a big deal to you yet you bought an rsx for speed? :ugh:

as far as resale value goes, my 06 tsx (which costs more) is worth more in resale value than your rsx (which costs less), so the percentage of value it decreases is effected by the overall sticker price because even if ours both depreciated 5k mine would still be a better resale value. btw, an acura tsx doesn't lose 10k when you drive it off the lot.

good luck with life buddy :coffee:

I think that's what were all forgetting here. Some things just attract differently to certain people, everybody has different flavors.

I for one love every single import there is out there on the market. Evo's, STi's, WRX's, SRT4's, Speed3's/Speed6's,350Z's,RX-8's, S2000's,etcccc..

I just chose to go a different route. I picked up my Speed6 and got a heck of a deal and fell in love. I wanted to be different from others like not wanting to see fellow friends driving EVo's and STi's.

I know for one that i didn't buy this car to modify it and try to street race all the Import/domestic tuners. Because this isn't the car to do it:(............lol

its worth more because its more expensive...the rsx isnt gonna increase in value...ur pretty fucking dumb

Fact still remains, dodge can barely do, forced induction, what honda can do naturally aspirated.

? The srt really makes about 265hp at the motor and probably 280ish ft-lbs. Compared to 197/201 hp and 140ft-lbs? Or we could could compare honda's turbo 4 to dodge's. Oddly, it doesn't make any more power than the dodge that seemingly isn't doing much. Go figure.

might wanna rethink that statement.

[big18g]

um, made the same mistake 4 times? go back and re-read what i posted:shakehead
i made the mistake the first time, though i might point out that in 02 when i was making the decision the wrx's, evo's, sti's, srt4's, etc were just coming out and not out yet....btw, my first rsx was a base:thumbsup:
i got sick of it after a year cause gsr's were pulling on me and the only competition were: preludes, non gsr integras, civics, and all the rest of the fucking ricer bullshit cars....so i went out and bought a type-s....in 03.........it was SO much faster and all, and for awhile i was kind of the fucking mountain (in my area), but then all these guys started showing up with mildly modded wrx's and smoking me:(...and then the evo's came:crying:, and the rest.......
i actually totalled the 03 type=s, my second rsx, and just went out and bought the 3rd one...it was EXACTLY the same, same black color/etc.....but all of a sudden even with a greddy turbo kit @ 7 psi (weaksause i know) i was getting my ass handed to me even from a roll, and from a dig forget about it.....so i sold it........but guess what? for whatever the fuck reason, i started to regret it, so i bought the 04 pwp and said fuck it ill make it fast and look good, i wanna be original and not mod a wrx/evo cause every fucking kid on the block and his mother jumped on that bandwagon.......so i spend a shit load of cash on carbon fiber hood/fenders/hella shit like lip kit wheels, full suspension: struts/springs/strutbars/sways/x-brace/all kinds of shit....i also dumped a shitload on cams/toda headgasket/dcrh/greddy cbe/comptech ice-box and misc other shit....then i realised how fucking stupid that was cause my car was still a low 14 high 13 car AT BEST....so decided not to repeat that mistake agian and bought a gt35r turbo and misc other things for it......after a year of driving the car and gathering everything required to install the damn thing, i lost all interest in fwd and the rsx in general and just fucking sold everythig.....the kid that drives it right now in reno can tell you how he got a fucking killer deal on it and how fucking clean it is/etc....i was just tired of it....period...its not worth making fast

You didn't get what I'm saying. It took dodge MUCH more to get the power out of that motor that they got. I'm sure that 2.4L motor would lose alot if you took the turbo off of it, even if you did up the compression and change the cams a little bit to offset the turbo coming off, you still wouldn't have that much power out of it.

And, if you're gonna go off of factory ratings for the RSX then go off the factory ratings for the SRT4 as well. 230 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque

uh? so the hemi isnt NA? and doesnt produce.......4-5 times the whp compared to honda?

not to mention the the FI acura (the RDX) has pretty pathetic #'s for an F/I vehicle. the little srt-4 produces better whp and tq.

might wanna rethink that statement.

You're still putting in a different category. You're now comparing V8's to I4. I will agree that the RDX motor was a let down, but it still produced similar numbers to the SRT and it was supposedly also "underrated", as you SRT boys like to put it, from the factory. Rated, from acura, 240hp and 260tq. Plus it was still .1L under the SRT. As you all know, alot of power is lost to AWD and the fucking RDX was a god damn fortress on wheels.

I never said that dodge (or any american car maker) COULDN'T produce numbers from their engines, they just need huge displacement or FI to do it. Not saying that honda's cars put out big numbers, but their cars aren't built for straight line speed and they don't focus so much on "OMG 1 billion horsepower!" to sell their cars.

I didn't "settle" for my car. When I saw the 05 I wanted it right off the bat. I had an EP3 before so the Type-S is an improvement in many catergories.

I don't know many SRT-4 owners that fell in love with the car as soon as they saw it. I'm not downplaying what the SRT-4 is. It is a cheap fast car.


The TSX is luxury. The RSX is not. The K24 isn't as good of a tuner motor as the K20A2 or Z1. What it is good for is the bottom end though. That with one of our heads along with a few other mods gives you a high reving frank motor.

To say the RSX offers nothing is very ignorant and this sub forum has no place for ignorant fucks like yourself.

I'm ready to dance when you are.

I've said this before, but the way the K20's powerband works out added to its gearing shows some incredible engineering imo. The car does extremely well in roll races. I'm not saying it's a highway killer, but the gearing and way the car's engine gives it power work wonderfully together.

I doubt that's the way it is with all of their cars. I get what you're saying, ya, but who's to say what standards every company (and every dyno) is actually using? I dont' know, just too many damn variables so I stick with what the manufacturer's cram down my throat. Until it's modded.

But I also fully recognize that the "factory 30hp" more is not attributing to the SRT's like, what is it, a full second faster in the quarter mile? It's the fucking massive torque jump from the RSX to the SRT.

I absolutely agree. I've taken out tons of cars that are rated higher HP or have more WHP than me. Stunned the piss out of me, honestly.

I need to get some time slips under my belt so I can back this claim up, but if only 200-210tq is what it takes to get an RSX into the 12's (obviously accompanied by the horsepower gain) then there's gotta be SOMETHING right with the car.

F/I 2.4 Vs. N/A 2.0

I mean come the fuck on......they can't be compared.....

Slap a turbo on the Z1 running not even as much psi as the stock SRT-4 and then come talk to me.

[Kevin949]

'bout to go drive my buddy's srt4 tonite...he finally got his new act 6 puck sprung clutch in and wants me to see if its good:run:

didn't ACT clutches have a slight problem of semi-exploding or breaking horribly? or was that just for RSX's because RSX owners don't know that 7k dumps and flat shifts AREN'T good for a car?

You should hear mine. Loud as fuck but not really ricey at all. Come to think of it, I might try to get some audio tonight or tomorrow.

Oh that's not bad. That's how much mine costs. Hehe. but god damn was it worth the price. It was such a HUGE difference from that damn DC, I was surprised!

Question for all.

So, ok honestly, do you think ANYONE on this site would buy my car? And what do you think I could get for it? As is, I already know about "putting it to stock and parting it out, blah blah blah" but that's not really an option anymore.

do a NADA private party resale value on it, then go from there really.

i'll buy it lol




for 17k :shady:

[Kevin949]

I'd maybe settle for 20k. All in negotiations. Heh. Hardest part would be transferring title/reg and getting it to pass smog. Unless the buyer has stock stuff to throw on for test.

[drumnatural]

It's gonna be hard to sell at this point. Your best bet is to find some rich kid's parents to buy the car for him.

Of course the car will be totalled within a week......actually don't do that. lol

well now that you mention it....

YES. the viper is a crappy car with a lot of power. pretty much like the SRT-4. i don't really care for either one of them. especially when you consider that it's like 80-90k. you can buy a cruddy SRT-4 and have it pumping out viper like power for 5k. so for what, about 25k you have a 4 door car that will piss on an 80k viper?

edit: i bet you are going to compare your supremely tuned car against a viper now, huh? you already think its better than an m3, lets go for the gold on this one.

Pumping out viper power? Are you forgetting its still fwd?

and even thought i love the skittle..

you are still comparing a neon at heart, to a viper.

yeah..id much rather have a neon with 500whp over a viper :rolleyes: /sarcasm

[ODUB]

Pumping out viper power? Are you forgetting its still fwd?

i'm not forgetting. i know that would suck, but it's just the fact that for far less money you can have a car with the same power. okay, different comparison. take a 350Z, supercharge it, now you've got viper power in a RWD platform for far less money, and it's a prettier, better built machine.

That's a really stupid comparison and Statement.

I can buy a EG hatch for 3K and spend 20K on mods and be way faster than both or anything.......you have no validation to your points:thumbsdow

eg hatch for 3k.......try $1500 bones. and those hatches can be made stupid fast with less than 10 grand, all motor/boosted whatever you want.

that's not the same because the EG hatch would be fast, but shitty. the only point i was trying to make is that i don't like vipers. i think they are shitty cars with a lot of power. i'd rather have something that looks better, handles better, and is faster for way less money.

yes, the EVO is a prettier car than the viper, and with the same power, it's faster. the M3 is also prettier than a viper, as is the STi, the 335i, the 135i, the C6 Z06, the 03-04 terminator cobra, the new GT 500, and just about every other car on the planet....


except the SRT-4
