I did something I never thought I'd do...

Glad we're on the same page. That you can see what was being said proves that you are not the stereotypical SRT-4 bro. Carry on, but don't get too attached to the little thing.

Now, a 41k mile Neon ACR in top shape would have probably been something that people here could support wholeheartedly.

If I had found that in my price range, that would be a dream lol. I do love this one though. The sounds are simply addicting...

I thought there would be more man on man sex in this thread...

Are you disappointed?

At the end of the day, it's still a neon.

Most of these i see are beatup piles, at least this one looks nice. Honestly I do hate neons, but ironically like mid 80's-early 90's Shelby Dodges.

I can dig it. I own the competitor's car (a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege) and no one seems to get it either. There's just something fun about a cheap, boosted, good handling car. I have always like the look of the Mazda better but the SRT-4 has quite a bit more power.

If anyone is bored, this is a good read.

I really like the car. I HATE dodge, and especially neons, but I don't find this to be a neon. I feel it's much better than a neon. 80hp better, to be exact. But yes, not very many people get it. It's actually a really fun car, and for some reason, I kinda like the looks...

It's weird, I remember seeing Neons everywhere back in the early 2000s (and racing one in NFS: Underground), but now it's like they've all disappeared. Maybe they just didn't survive here in the rust belt?

No hate against Dodge here (I'm a big Viper fan), but I personally would have tried to find a clean gen 5 or gen 6 Honda Accord 5 speed for daily use, though I imagine they aren't as nearly as fun in stock form.

Yeah, I was looking into those as well, but the miles are really what got me interested in this one.

Steena from the first season of Setup drove one of those. She passed me at Buttonwillow with ease... but I think that may have been driver skill though. Either way, the SRT4 was a fast car.

Everyone bitches about the interior, but fails to mention the AWESOME seats. Seriously, the standard seats are among the best OEM seats I have ever spent time in. Neons also have a great cable shifter setup with aftermarket options that make it even better, you'll NEVER have a BMW trans feel that precise, well unless the CAE is that good, I think that is about the only BMW race shifter I have not felt yet, they all have slop. The rear wing and stock wheels are ugly as fuck, but the SRT-4 ACR came with decent 16" BBS weaves.

If I had to replace my daily driven E30 with a non-E30 in this price range, an SRT-4 would be near the top of the list. There's so many deals on them right now, customer at an old job sold his very clean, stock-appearing, adult-owned, reliable, daily driven ~400wph big turbo SRT-4 for $7k-ish, the deal was made by the time I found out or I would have been tempted, such a nice car and I had the cash at the time. I've had four 1st gen Neons, one was turbo with SRT-4 parts, and they were all great, fun, reliable cars that respond well to the plentiful inexpensive mods available for them. 8/10 would own one again.

so at least the seats & shifter are nice while the rest of the car falls apart around you. :)

hey, you know what shares the same platform/engine as the SRT-4?



Bet you could get one real cheap too.

:p

Lol I'll pass on that one. The interior hasn't gone to shit yet on this one. One of the reasons I jumped on a low mileage example.
