Default Killed a NEON!!......Pics of future car maybe??

Well not really but this is the only area I really post in.

So, I have decided to sell the Srt. Not due to it being slow/neon. But, I just want something that is rwd. PREFREBLY an '03 Cobra. Also, the other reason im selling it is due to the 8.7% I am getting raped on.

I have also been thinking of some other cars. Like high hp mustangs(400whp+) from earlier years. Anything under about 17k. If I find an '03 Cobra for anywhere around 20K then I will take it. I would love to buy an WS6 but they are going for too much for what they offer.

So, is this the ultimate kill or what????

G'bye lil 12sec neon

P.S - I beat a 05 Mustang. It was blue. It looked very good. Just to keep this thread in here haha.

There goes the only non rice srt4 owner....It's no longer a stereotype, they're all wannabe ricers.

PS. Buy anything with an LS1/2/6, selling my 98 Formula was the worst decision I've ever made. May I burn in hell for all eternity.

8.7% is not too bad, Ive seen alot worse...thankfully not with me. 02 WS6'S with an M6 are running anywhere from 21000 to 26000 (special editions). I wouldnt mind having the Cobra, but I havent seen one under 27K yet. Plus I can fit alot easier in the WS6. Good Luck.

I have seen a handful at 23K. Im not in any hurry right now. If I cant find one by spring time then just drive the pos cavalier until I finish my first year at college.

Congrats on the sale of the SRT4! Too bad, more people like you should be driving them (would improve the image!). Welcome to RWD fun and good, straight launches!

Actually... why not just jump on the drift/rice bandwagon and get a 240sx and swap in a motor? (ls1 or sr20det/rb26dett)

Well, cars are a dime a dozen I always say. Good luck whatever you end up with. You have plenty of time left to play. Just be patient like you said, you'll come accross something sooner or later.

WTF you talking about

All I ever did was fishtail on stock tires.

If you are going for used and you cannot afford an 03 Cobra, an LS1 would be the best bet. Should I say welcome aboard?
