As far as the ricer $h!+ goes I'll give credit where credit is due. You start putting half painted/primed body kits with massive wings and fart cans and you could bet somebody would say something.
Personally I think the car is bad ***. And for the record a car with that much work done to it, I would hope it'd beat the C6 Z06.

They were made in Belvidere (Ill.).. Got it mixed up there, but I was close
$12K would be pretty close to what it would cost to do that to a SRT-4. ALot are selling for about $15K now so you can figure for less then $30K you can have a quick car to play with.
I dont agree on body kits and I dont think many even exist for this car. You dont see the magazines really paying attention to them becasue they are domestic. They nut swing on the EVO and STi. My car looks 100% stock except for the tint and eyelids.

It's not my fault you bought it and have that girly looking turbo-ed lady-bug shaped vehicle sitting in your driveway. Defend it all you want, i don't CARE lol I still don't like the god damned car and i wouldn't buy it if my life depended on it. Once again there are so many better choices out there i could name them for days, you can find PRO - STREET vehicles that are in the 9's and 10's for under $20,000 and have money left over for an econobox to daily drive. So don't be ignorant and tell me it's the only car under $20,000 that fast.
And once again, this shows me you skim read and picked out certain things in my posts without fully reading and comprehending my ENTIRE posts. I never said MY car could beat it. I also gave it props for being fast, multiple times. But i also said i still don't like the damn thing, it's my choice, quit crying about it.
If you think that my knowledge of vehicles is limited by what i currently drive, then you've got to be one of the most ignorant people in the world.
That level of ignorance is on the same level as saying Stephen Hawking is a drooling-retard because he's in a wheel chair and uses Microsoft SAM to talk. Or that John Force can't race **** and he's slow cause u saw him driving a mini-van to the grocery store.

You dont seem to grasp the fact that this is a NEW car with warranty (for peple who commute) for $20K. It whoops on every other car priced in that region and above sold new. SPANKS.
Now if you want to argue you can find a import thats cheap to build and make fast I will agree. You arent going to find much that will be able to walk a SRT-4 for that price range though without sacrificing alot.
I could look for a old CRX, and strip it, build it and it would probably smoke 90% of the cars on the road. It's a gokart I could probably lift the rear end off the ground while you changed the tire. But that is just plain silly.
You seem to have a hang up with SRT-4's and I know the more it's brought up, the more you will resist it (simple psych)...
So welcome to the club of people who hate the SRT-4 for no real reason..

But that skittle just smacked the snot out of Chevy's flagship car.
The proof is in the video and you can't take anything away from it. You guys act like it was an RSX or something.
Give credit where credit is do. It takes about 4K to get a skittle into the 11's BTW (without massive amounts of WR)

Since you can't read obviously... here you go:
Starting from my most recent post in regards to my "hating the SRT-4."
Here is a list of honest and positive things I've said about the cars in general:
I also gave it props for being fast, multiple times. But i also said i still don't like the damn thing, it's my choice, quit crying about it.
Oh i agree, like i said I'm not bashing anyone. I think that SRT-4 is a great performer for what ti is, there's no doubt that AMS builds beasts.
i was just honest with my preference and i guess some people aren't use to someone who's straight forward in a non-threatening way, and they take offense to it regardless.
i was just honest with my preference and i guess some people aren't use to someone who's straight forward in a non-threatening way, and they take offense to it regardless.
Once again cry babies, I'm not bashing it, i just plain out PERSONALLY don't PREFER them. It's just my opinion, if yours differs from mine and don't like my opinion - good for you, I'm not going to change for you, and you're not going to convert me to "skittle-dom"....tears will dry.
I like Z06s, and i like a good race in general. I commend the SRT-4 on its performance. But, i don't like them personally.
If you don't like my comments then don't read them, it's that simple.
If you're a die-hard fan for 'skittles', great for you - it's what you personally like.
At the same time, I'm not worried about hurting your feelings if u don't like my honest opinion about the vehicle, which i said in a nice manner. Because it's my opinion. i could see if i came in and said "Domestic-Rice!!! FWD sucks!!!! BOOOO!!!" But, that obviously wasn't the case.

AMS builds some awesome stuff, I miss the EVO videos.
By no means am i saying it's slow, and I'm not going to be ignorant and not give props where earned. I just simply don't get excited about it.
By no means am i saying it's slow, and I'm not going to be ignorant and not give props where earned. I just simply don't get excited about it.
Next:
I UNDERSTAND the concept and why a person would want a warrantied vehicle. You don't need to 'school me' on it...i get it. i acknowledged it, and explained my perspective on that situation:
I wouldn't get a "2 for 1" and, I'm not **** about warranties.
So for me that blows that whole idea out of the water.
Brand new cars are nice, but most of the time they lose a significant amount of value the second you drive them off the lot, sad but true.
I would buy a crap KIA Sophia or something of that nature to drive around in for a $1,000 tops, then buy an m6 Camaro SS or a WS6 with the money left over for around $16,000 or under or something more extreme in that price range. Leaving me with $5,000+ left over for mods, etc.
Race car sits in the garage away from daily wear and tear while the beater car does its job. If i go out racing and break something, so what back in the garage it goes and I'll fix it when i have time. In the mean time i have my beater car to get me around and do what i have to from day to day. If the beater breaks down then i can use the race car to run out and get whatever i need to fix the beater. (which the parts will be much cheaper for.)

This is why I came over here to post, the Texas section thread was linked because of the flaming.

I understand you dislike them, you wouldnt ride in one if your life depended on it.
Not trying to convince you of anything. Just trying to make it seem less "evil" for picking one up and trying to help shed some light on why people do.

That thing hauls ***. If I had a Neon, I'd make it haul incredible ***, too.... just so noone could see me in it. 
No, really though, thats a bad *** ride, and I'm glad it's wearing the Dodge nameplate rather than some nameplate from the far east, even if the Germans did take over. Hell, it even sounds kinda cool, and thats amazing for a 4 cylinder.

That is one amazing neon, I was suprised considering the majority srt-4's around here are slow, even the heavily modded ones. The four doors and four cyl.'s are not my cup of tea but atleast they are dodges and this one represented nicely.
