[utahteg]

What kind of fool would trade an S2000 in for a neon??

[BnLake]

HAHAHAH!! THAT'S THAT KID RYAN!!! lol that srt-4 is actually pretty quick! He raced anthony's eclipse and kept up with him the whole way

[utahteg]

It's not a bad car, they are pretty quick.  What's the rated hp, I know I have a mag with it somewhere but I can't seem to find it?

[Staats]

yeah i know i was about to say that s h i t

[1slowCX]

HAHAHAH!! THAT'S THAT KID RYAN!!! lol that srt-4 is actually pretty quick! He raced anthony's eclipse and kept up with him the whole way

The SRT just came in today....I don't know how you raced him......

wait was it later today.....then maybe....

I don't know what he was thinking when he sold his S2000 for it.....what a dumb a s s

[BnLake]

ok different person, but it looked exactly like that neon. It's pretty d a m n quick

[Mar_DC2]

theyre rated at 215whp and 245ft/lb, but i think theyve been dyno'd at around 225whp and 250ft/lb. but if you ever see a dyno chart from one, the max torque peaks at like 1,000rpm then just drops off into nothing.

[Night Angel424]

what is ft/lb?

[BnLake]

HAHAH!! ok that really blows! 1,000rpm huh.. too bad

[Night Angel424]

that first pic is really cool looking, itd be rad if they did an actually paint job like that.

[OverLord]

what is ft/lb?

It is the unit of measure for torque. It should be lb/ft.

Why sell an S2K for a neon??? Different strokes for different folks.

The SRT-4 peaks at 250 lb-ft at 3000 RPM but torque drops like a rock at 5000 RPM. Hmmm a 2000 RPM torque curve, dodge has a lot of work to do before this car will impress me. I am sure it is fast but I would much rather have the S2K

[Mar_DC2]

yes, lb/ft, my bad. i think i just like the way "foot pound" sounds in my head.

i too would much rather own an S2K than that car. ive seen pics of the turbo's on that thing, its just the manifold, turbo, and downpipe all together in one piece. pointless to me, seems like a gimmick for dodge to make more $$$ when the turbo fails. either way, you can't deny 13 second time slips from the factory.
