You need to go to your local dodge dealership ( assuming they have some SRT-4's in the lot still ) and have a seat in one my friend. I'm 6'4" and 270lbs and I had plenty of room to move around in that car. I loved the viper seats except they squashed my boys. It's extremely easy to drive too, I rarely stalled it and I've never driven manual before.

I think those SRT-4's are funny, because they are fast Neon's. I would buy one, but whoever said they would take it over a M3, you must be crazy. lol, I guess I'm just a BMW fan though.

There is a photo of a "spraying snake" in the grill of a late-model Cobra I've seen recently.

As far as SRT-4s, I never take them lightly from a roll. Ones that trap 118 mph in the 1/4 can look very similar to the ones that trap 99 mph.

No doubt. Shortly, one of them trapping 118 won't be enough.

You should contact your insurance... I got the same quote for my car as I did the SRT-4... It's actually extremely cheap for me, only 46.58 a month

You can get a 330i with M3 trim and sport package (Very close to having a M3, but with 4 doors)..in Germany, and have it converted to American Specs, then have it shipped back, but by then, you are probably close to 50K, just get a M5.

I don't mean to steal your thread 98BXR, but I live in your area and I've seen a red SRT run 4x's now. The 1st time (against a Blk C5) he (SRT4) missed second...end of story
The 2nd time (BLK C5) C5 put 4 cars on him.... SRT has upgraded turbo, NOS and ET street drag radials runs 12s at LACR.
This guy is always down for some action...also ran a 03 Cobra too. 1st (SRT4) race blow off the air intake?????? 2nd race Cobra got him by 1 car (480 RWHP Cobra on radials)
He's lost alot of $$$$ around here to these two guys

I tried to race one of those tricked out SRT's with an Exhaust as far as I could tell, He's the one who acted like he wanted to race but I could'nt get him to line up for anything, all he would do is ricer flyby's. I guess my open cutout's scared him.
