Now this is what I am talking about. A bunch of guys talking Sh**T about "get a turbo dude, my car is awesome, I'll smoke everyone" .
Not a single Stage 0 turbo 1/4 mile time!!!
DAMN!!!!!!
And people bash the SRT4! At least there is proof they are quick and fast! Looks like all we can say about our TCs is "But its built better"
Has anyone with a s/c or stage 0 upgrade with everything else stock, ran a 1/4 mile time of low 14s? Period. Stop saying "Dude, you should be able to, trust me!" Whats the problem here? If our Tcs can't do it, then just say it and stop making excuses.
People wondering why I am considering purchasing a SRT4, Read this entire post and then you'll know why. Damn, I want to hear that we can run low 14s, that way I don't have to purchase a new car. Thats why I am playing Devil's Advocate here. Not to ____ off Tc owners. I can either put 3-4 grand in upgrades on my Tc or a down payment on a SRT4.
Buy the way, my friend with the SRT4 and a $400 stage 1 upgrade, is smoking everyone that challenges him here in San Diego! I have seen him race Stock 2005 Mustang GTs, turbo MR2s, Eclipses, and even a newer vette! His car is completely stock except for the new ECU and lowering springs. 2004 Silver with black stripes.

Dodge NEON SRT-4 ; 2.4L - 16 Valve - FOUR CYLINDER - Turbo Engine
SRT-4's are NOT V8's

Edited first part
And to go on topic, the problem is the release date of the S/C. Being a mid to late fall release means the majority of s/c owners live in area's where tracks are closed for the winter. Yes, some live in area's where they are open all year, but most don't. I've only seen the 14.6 post for s/c and that's it. That 10.5 or whatever 1/8th mile run is ____ POOR!!! That s/c should be taken from him and put in another person's car that can drive. I ran a 9.9 COMPLETELY stock even with the 18" wheels.

Same power/lighter car= faster (in his case anyways)
Warranty
Newer/better creature comforts than his older V8 car
I went from a V8 to a tC....go figure

Alot of ignorance on this site and apparently people who can not read well.
I own a 2006 TC and a 1987 Pontiac Formula 350. The Formula is 18 years old and is hardly a daily driver anymore, so I purchased the TC. The Tc is relatively cheap, is built by Toyota, has tuner ability, and great gas mileage compared to my V8. I want to make my Tc as quick as my Formula and be a daily driver.
Now as far as the SRT4 goes, they kick a$$ period!! Not as reliable as japanese cars and not as pretty, but gots it where it counts in a drag race. Thats all I'm trying to say.

damn, nothing but srt-4 this Si that, geesh people. Look, i believe you should drive the car YOU want and not what everyone else wants. You want a srt-4, well get one, they are the fastest car under 25k, just take extra care of it. You want a Si, BAM put a downpayment and you wizzing around with 8000 rev limit. Just get the car you feel best in.

hi with all bull ____ting aside i work at quigney dodge in boyertown and these cars are great til you hit about 20k The trannys are giving problems because they were not really meant for all that power and the driving the owners put them through. Most warranty work will not be covered because the ECU puts a data log on everytime you abuse the car. ( hit rev limiter, race the engine, nasty burnouts) and it is grinding to tranny into pieces. Also the clutch begins to slip right around there too.
If the warranty does cover some work it is still a neon i despise working on these and no matter how you look at it... Its Still a NEON.
I am going to put an app in at Tri-Count Toyota my C tech status at quigney is over.
