ThatDudeinBlue it's about time bro! If you're ever in the Dallas Ft Worth area let me know, I have plenty of SRT4 buddies of mine that you can review. Some are fully built and some are bolt ons...so take your pic. LOL Thank you for finally reviewing one. Keep the vids coming man, love watching your chanel every time.
My cousin has one exactly like this one but yellow and he too has kept it over 12 years.... crazy to me that they both love this car so much that they have kept it this whole time. Has to be a great car!
04 srt4 was my first brand new car, was a fun car. I remember being able to pull on my friends (new at the time) EVO 8 from a roll(stock vs stock). Mine was in perfect shape when sold after 4 years of ownership.
I just sold my srt-4 here in denver for a wrx... still miss how hard it pulled. One of the best cars for the money... The interior was all plastic and it was bare bones, but man it ripped.
Always been a civic guy here , have had 4 of them in 16 years but I love these cars. They get hated on alot especially for their looks and you know what , I think they are super cool cars and I actually love the look . Cool car man, can see you really love and take care of it. Respect .
Ill take my saturn ion redline over any of those others. Looks better than a cobalt and the LSJ platform can easily handle 600hp on the stock bottom block
Lol and didn’t break an axle!!! I used to break them all of the time in my SRT4, learned how to change axles on the side of the road! Lol I understand his SRT stories!! It is such a great car!!
AlienNinjaPuppy a stock for stock srt4 vs any similar car and the srt4 will hang without problems. Like anything if you take care of things they will last
I've got a Dodge Caliber SRT4 and I have so much respect for these SRT4s. Unfortunately, the Caliber SRT4 is not very well covered and mostly unknown by a large portion of the car community. When I roll up to meets, I send people away in ambulances from neck injuries. The power that the Caliber can generate with some light modding and a tune is something that takes a lot of people by surprise. Always happy to see the SRT4s getting coverage, whether it's the Neon or the Caliber.
I owned one of these and it was an ACR edition. Absolutely awesome car and a blast to drive! Tons of torque right out of the box and the stock exhaust was one of the best stock sounds I’ve ever heard. Transmission was awful, but other than that no complaints.
I have a lot of respect for people who keep their car since day one. I'm on 10 years with my 04 GTO and I'm not letting it go any time soon. Props for taking care of that pufferfish. I told my father should I hit the lottery, I'm either buying him a pufferfish or I'm turboing his 05 Neon SXT since he had his motor replaced a little over a year ago. Maybe a commemorative pufferfish? Hmmm🤔
David, I really liked the format of this video. I thought the conversation you had with Miguel was great! He seemed like he was very comfortable in front of the camera. Please do more videos like this with the owner in the car! Very easy subscription to his channel from me.
As someone who is just getting into car culture, i find it funny whenever i am researching a car and learning about it, you happen to upload a video of that car. Love your stuff and its really helping me get into car culture. A very welcoming feeling.
Yes! Finally an srt4 review by a reputable youtuber! I love my srt4, and of course get alot of hate for my neon. But i love it. I knew it was miguels i’ve been subscribed to him for awhile. Keep it up, both of you. I really enjoy the videos!
Nice! I had one for 9 years. Like this owner I learned how to drive stick on mine. Basically learned everything about turbo 4 cylinders on that car also. Just traded it in 4 years ago for my Evo X. Srt only had 40k miles on it. One of the cleanest ones out there.
I never thought about emailing you about it I thought you had done a Srt4. He’s actually 20mins away from me great review and glad it didn’t have a 3rd gear issue .
I have an SRT4 too! So cool to see you in one of these David. I have had mine since 08 and like the owner of this car had no clue how to drive it so my dad drove it home for me. I remember sitting in auto body class one day and a guy brought one in. I had no clue what it was at first but once I saw it I was soooo in love. These cars sound amazing and the power is there when you need it. I'll keep my car forever. Thanks for posting this vid. Now I need to go look at mine.
I just got a 2005 stone white SRT-4. I wasnt really interested in the car but ended up pulling the trigger on it and I couldn't be any happier with my decision. Always have a smile on my face when driving it. Put 2k miles on it withen 14 days and it hasn't had a single problem. Others might hate on it because it's just a neon but imo it looks and sounds amazing!
water bear For one I drive two other Dodge vehicles two nobody made any contributions for me to be able to a afford a Gst or a GSX at the time lol. And I still can’t afford one
Finally david. Thank you sir. Srt4s are completely slept on. Love this car. Ive had mine for 13 years. Never had driven stick until i had to drive it from the dealership.!
David B Its really not though. There's a 90% chance you havent even driven one and are talking out of your ass. The engine in these handles big power, on stock internals nonetheless.
David B Ok, keep believing everything you read online lol. Mines been good to me after 2 years of ownership all I've had to replace was a cam sensor. ($60) And I'm stage 2, almost 300 to the wheels on stock internals. Maybe notoriously unreliable amongst kids that dont know how to take care of a turbocharged car, but not us responsible owners.
i have a manual 4 door first generation Neon with the dohc engine, and shes honestly a fun car to drive. its quick enough to be amusing, and cheap enough to not care about beating on it occasionally. shes never left me stranded either, and i daily her.
Haha although they have their problems and the interior rattles and shakes and stuff, I miss my srt sometimes. Cheap to modify and makes power so easy. I've owned the csrt4 and the nsrt4
I had commented asking him to review one on one of his videos one time and he told me that they kept blowing up. They were once my dream car, now I have an HHR SS and I Love it even more than these.
They have a bad rep but if you take care of them they're an absolute blast. My 2005 Neon SRT-4 has the Mopar Stage 3 upgrade (bigger turbo), downpipe, injectors, fuel pump and a solid tune and it has never left me stranded. Kept the stock airbox on for a sleeper look too. The nice thing is you don't see many of them on the road anymore, but when you do it's pretty cool. Puts a smile on my face everytime I get into the throttle.
I mean can we really call whatever it was... 220 I think horsepower, an "overpowered engine" for the car? I think that's a pretty big stretch considering 50 or so horsepower less and you'd be 100% in underpowered territory.
@@danielnelson4881 well seeing as tho the stock internals could handle up to 400whp b4 the axle problem, and cheaper 2 mod than a civic. Idk bro i think its preference at that point
When I had my SRT-4 over 3 years, it had a built motor, GT3076R AGP Turbo kit, complete fuel kit, etc.... 525hp/498wtq on a mustang demo and pump gas. Ran mid 10's all day. Nice ride.
I have a 2005 SRT 4 . It has 64,000 miles on it . The sift linkage had to be replaced . I had to have the engine mounts replaced. My main complaint about this car is road and exhaust noise on the highway. I have to have use ear plugs so dampen the noise . I had the thermostat replaced on it . It is a Daimler Chrysler car . The tires are Michelin Pilot . The original tires were horrible . I do not race the car or abuse the power . I almost bought a Mustang GT at the time for about 5,000 more that the SRT 4 .
Florida in the house I’ve seen this on either Instagram/Facebook And people either keep these and don’t let them go or mess them up like a 240sx or eclipse gst/gsx
Thanks for showing some love for the SRT-4 people man. Yes it is a Neon but Im proud to say that. My first car was a Neon and it saved my friends and mine life in a really bad wreck back in the day. My next car was a Neon and I built it up to be a sleeper and it was known in town as the Honda killer. I now own two SRT-4s and one is a all stock Commemorative Edition with only a 112k on it. If you are interested in driving a stock one that doesn't rattle and vibrate your fillings out hit me up 😀
Great vid I was a tech at a Dodge dealership back in 97/98 and I owned a sohc "peon" as I called it and she was quick for what it was (15.6 at 89 mph the night I bought it) anyway fast forward a few years and these came out and one day I will get my hands on one I just subbed Miguel's channel
The mopar stage 3 turbo is very close to the Evo 8 turbo.. The Evo turbo Fits on the mopar s3 manifold and is a good alternative since mopar s3 pieces are rare and expensive...
Mod It All Garage what setup are you going with? A few years back I bought my 3rd srt, and decided to see how quick I could make it for the least amount of money. For less than $1k it ripped , there's a video on my channel of it smashing a bolt on coyote. Catless downpipe, diablo tuner, 3 bar sensors , and wideband with Dusters big injector/ e85 base tune package. Car ripped, would put down ~310whp ~410tq. Still had stock intercooler and fuel pump too.
10 years ahead of the competition I don't know about that one... What's the competition you're claiming it was 10 years ahead of? I know this comment was a year ago but I'm intrigued to hear what your opinion is.
I have a 2006 cobalt ss/sc i would like to drive down from indiana for you to review. I have full 2.5 exhaust, intake, 3.0 pulley, upgraded drilled/slotted rotors and pads, upgraded motor mounts. About 240hp, but i should have stage 3 and a 2.7 pulley before then. Let me know
I have an Ion Redline which is quite similar to the balt ss, body panels and shit are super hard to come by, but you can make so much power out of there lsjs for pretty cheap too
Back in 03 i was 11 and my brothers best friend had one. It was the first car id went over 120 in. We did 140 and i remember being so amazed because it was such a small 4 cylinder and it just blew my mind
Cars going through a complete overhaul soon. New paint, new lights, new motor, new suspension. This is my slow daily beater one. My STI about to become the daily while this one is being restored.
Yes!!!!! I’ve been waiting years for this one, that’s awesome David! My goal is for you to someday get behind the wheel of my “lightly modified” PT Cruiser GT, which shares the SRT4 motor. It’s a hell of a fun car, when it’s done right it can be super clean too. PTs have a rotten stereotype, I’d love to see what you think of her in person.
J P77 Yeah dude 😂 it surprises the hell out of people. I love it. Idk why they’re so hated and disrespected, SRT4 is a great motor and when a PT GT is done right, they look super clean.
Mike_MANIC_R55 except if you adjust your wga too high, or install a occ and it fills it too much, or if you make over 300whp the axles will start to fail, or if you go with a tune off a diablosport you'll be too lean for most situations, or if you push over 350tq your clutch will fail, or all the boost leaks that happens if you don't zip tie one... Lmfao I loved my srt4 miss the sound of it but they're picky as hell some time
EvoX Pribs I didn't experience any of that on both my stock turbo SRT4's. Both were FBO and Diablo tunes. Of course it'll run lean of you run a tune designed almost 14 years ago. Its a base map for a car with a healthy fuel system. You can easily adjust WOT fuel by rpm with it as long as you have an AFR gauge. Which you should have on this car if you plan on tuning the ECU. My stock clutch took a good beating but started to slip after about 30k miles of 295whp 325tq. I upgraded to a CM 6 puck and it never slipped while I owned it. Never had a 3rd gear issue on any of mine either. Usually those failures were from people running the WOT Shift Boxes and strong arming the shit out of the gear lever. I also dumped the OEM ATF for the trans and used Mobil 1 Euro formula. Shifting was butter smooth.
Hell yea, I had the opportunity to get a commemorative back in 05 when I lemon Lawed my first non acr srt. But wanted the red again so I got the red ACR instead.
Mod It All Garage Nice. I must say this video makes me want one again. I got lucky with mine, got it in 08 with only 10k miles and stock. Car was alot of fun!
That was an awesome fine with just 10k. I have my eye on a yellow one that has less than 2k miles. But they want brand new money for it. Hopefully I can come up with that kinda cash. Thanks again for the sub.
About freaking time david! As an srt4 owner i have wanted to see your opinion on it ironicly enough i also had an sentra se-r specv so i really enjoyed the orange one you reviewed its part of what brought me to the channel
He is so right with what he says. I own a v8 and have been looking for a little 4 banger that's good on gas to be a daily beater plus Ive always wanted to learn manual and since I'm such a huge Mopar fanatic this was my top choice but all of the ones I've looked at are ran into the ground just in crappy running condition.
LeAndre Davis I think it looks pretty cool. I have an obsession with this car because my old man had an 02 Neon ACR that ran like a dream. I was sad when he had to sell it. It's just one of those sentimental things for me when it comes to cars.
I been looking for a nice one for a daily so I don't have to drive my SRT8 everyday and most of them I find need more money to fix up then some are worth. If I know what I know now, I would have kept my SRT4 lol
Bd Brannon Same here love my Jeep to death and recently moved up North and I feel like the snow is destroying it plus I'm convinced the way the SRT8 sits it's not meant to ride through snow my bumper is only a few inches from the ground. That and 55 per fill up 3 times a week is kicking my A**
Finally a proper SRT review from one of the big reviewers! That big turbo one Matt drove wasnt a great example of one. If you ever wanna do a proper Big Turbo SRT-4, I can set you up with one or two.
I looked for about 6 months in the tampa bay area & could not find a decent one at all. So I had came across a Cobalt SS SC and went with that.... after a year its cool & all. Still want a SRT4 though!
cool guy I have had my srt-4 for the same amount of time and the only issues I have had are the ones I did to it lol. Its a great car that can make decent power and still have a good aftermarket following with modern performance and DCR. He made a good point people hate on these cars a lot and most of the times its the owners that make the car look bad :(
"It's just a neon bro."
ilsrhgflsieahfjlesrjkdfghflaiowjsrflgierudkjfhxgjfw;a3oieshdgnleirdkxjfk[pwed!
ThatDudeinBlue coming from another SRT4 owner.... it’s never “just a neon bro”
ThatDudeinBlue if you ever come to Chicago review mine.
ThatDudeinBlue hey
ThatDudeinBlue it's about time bro! If you're ever in the Dallas Ft Worth area let me know, I have plenty of SRT4 buddies of mine that you can review. Some are fully built and some are bolt ons...so take your pic. LOL
Thank you for finally reviewing one. Keep the vids coming man, love watching your chanel every time.
You’ve honestly changed my life with you’re videos been watching for a long long time 🤙
Shout out to Grandma for keepin' it real
When keepin it real goes right
Just imagine seeing grandma in an SRT4 rippin it 😂
Ahhh the SRT4, my starter car in Midnight Club 3.
Cham JDM but...
MIDNIGHT CLUB STILL CANCELLED SOZ
@@AyyItsJk mad m8
my starter car in real life
"People who get rid of them often regret selling and get another one"
Exactly what happened to me. Its such a fun little odd ball car.
Rich Kastler Me too!!!
Rich Kastler just sold mine last week after 5 years. I would regret it more if I wasn't buying a terminator to replace it.
Same. On my 3rd one.
im keeping mine, ive learned from all the others lol
Heard the exact same thing about the Evo too.
I have a lot of respect for how long he has held on to his car. I love to see drivers that keep a cars till they die.
Yep, I've had my e36 for 17 years now
I’m keeping my 2012 mazdaspeed3 until my daughter is ready to drive….. she’s 4
His grandmother drove it home for him. I think car culture may be genetic with this one.
This is very true, even my mother would have nice cars growing up.
lel... I learned to drive a stick on a test drive of an MGB I ended up buying. Yolo my doods
Or maybe she grew up driving a stick shift because having a Auto trans was once a Luxury.
Yup, my mom used to drive a manual Juke nismo and drove my Skyline home for me when I bought it because I hadn't learned stick yet
I think this is the first video I’ve seen where you feature and interact with the owner. I like this style!
Supabuck he's done a few like this only very recently though.
Been driving my integra for 14 years. Nice to see other people like myself who drive there cars till the very end.
Thatdudeinblue you drove 5 hrs to se an SRT4? I'm like 30 min from you.
Matterbee gaming tuff 😔
You're supposed to email him dumbass.
My cousin has one exactly like this one but yellow and he too has kept it over 12 years.... crazy to me that they both love this car so much that they have kept it this whole time. Has to be a great car!
My first tuner car, so it has a soft spot. My other SRT I have had for 10 yrs. and the other two are hitting the 4 and 3 year mark with me.
04 srt4 was my first brand new car, was a fun car. I remember being able to pull on my friends (new at the time) EVO 8 from a roll(stock vs stock). Mine was in perfect shape when sold after 4 years of ownership.
This guy is actually cool asf
That he is!
I just sold my srt-4 here in denver for a wrx... still miss how hard it pulled. One of the best cars for the money... The interior was all plastic and it was bare bones, but man it ripped.
J P77 wrx you will still have rattles my friend just wait lmao I still love myn thi
Lol, you never owned a srt-4 Subie? They don't rattle plastic just breaks off and hits you in the face.
J P77 lmaooooo
Always been a civic guy here , have had 4 of them in 16 years but I love these cars. They get hated on alot especially for their looks and you know what , I think they are super cool cars and I actually love the look . Cool car man, can see you really love and take care of it. Respect .
Not a Neon Fan but would buy one before buying a Speed3 or cobalt SS anydayy!!!!
You take that back godamnit.
Went from a srt4 to a speed3 love my speed3..but miss the srt4
Sold my srt4 for a Speed3. Both are great cars
Ill take my saturn ion redline over any of those others. Looks better than a cobalt and the LSJ platform can easily handle 600hp on the stock bottom block
I had an 08.5 speed3 and I regret selling it every single day. Loved that car….1st gear is absolutely useless. 😂
Lol and didn’t break an axle!!! I used to break them all of the time in my SRT4, learned how to change axles on the side of the road! Lol I understand his SRT stories!! It is such a great car!!
OEM FTW.
Chuck Tate -D117 I had to do one on the back of a tow truck by Joshua tree national park when the tow truck broke down
I bet your middle mount was bad! Especially if it was the passenger side that kept breaking.
Kwezzy possibly, excited for the rebuild
love the red acr bro and your channel! I'm a huge srt4 enthusiast!
SRT-4s are so underrated
UPstater5.9 beuz theyre bad cars... why woukd u get one when there are better choices for the same money or cheaper and more reliable?
AlienNinjaPuppy what's cheaper, more reliable, and just as fast? Ill wait....
AlienNinjaPuppy a stock for stock srt4 vs any similar car and the srt4 will hang without problems. Like anything if you take care of things they will last
I love em, I’d buy one. Maybe... thinkin id buy a focus st once my speed6 is dead.. hopefully way down the road
Isaak Kaiser so is my girlfriend but that don't matter... if you don't mind...
I've got a Dodge Caliber SRT4 and I have so much respect for these SRT4s. Unfortunately, the Caliber SRT4 is not very well covered and mostly unknown by a large portion of the car community.

Always happy to see the SRT4s getting coverage, whether it's the Neon or the Caliber.
Back when I had my WRX I would roll down my POWER rear windows to piss off SRT owners.
Brad Foernssler thats actually a good one and thats coming from and srt4 owner.
Brad Foernssler some men just want to watch the world burn 😂
My 94 bronco has a power rear window. Lol
LMAO you're mean
Good one😂
Thanks for finally including the owners

The srt4 aka the pt cruisers cooler cousin.
Tyler Brown You've got that backwards
Christopher Rose no he’s right
Doesn't the Caliber srt4 have the same motor?
fusewerks same motor as the srt neon and pt cruiser gt
Christopher Rose Love the Caliber srt4. It's heavy, tho.
I never thought about emailing you about it I thought you had done a Srt4. He’s actually 20mins away from me great review and glad it didn’t have a 3rd gear issue .
Using the coilovers off one of these for my 240z build, I'm not a fan of these myself but I love how much aftermarket support they have.
Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage they're so easy to make power out of. Which means they're even easier to break absolutely everything
Glad to see you reviewed a SRT-4! I remember messaging you on facebook 4 years ago asking you to review mine.
should do it now lol
He ain't ready for that srt4 lol
I have an SRT4 too! So cool to see you in one of these David. I have had mine since 08 and like the owner of this car had no clue how to drive it so my dad drove it home for me.

Finally david. Thank you sir. Srt4s are completely slept on. Love this car. Ive had mine for 13 years. Never had driven stick until i had to drive it from the dealership.!

In my town that I live in in Indiana there is at least 10 and there is only like 12,000 people here so I see at least 1 a day
Where is the life of pat content i miss you guys, great job on the review sick car. ❤️
Yea I agree with this guy 100% and I like how u was very positive about the car
This is bringing back a lot of memories.
I bought my 2005 black ACR brand new from Woodbridge ford. Have a video on UA-cam after installed some cams.
Thats a true american car, Dodge:"regular sedan lets but a over powered engine in it"
I mean can we really call whatever it was... 220 I think horsepower, an "overpowered engine" for the car? I think that's a pretty big stretch considering 50 or so horsepower less and you'd be 100% in underpowered territory.
@@danielnelson4881 well seeing as tho the stock internals could handle up to 400whp b4 the axle problem, and cheaper 2 mod than a civic. Idk bro i think its preference at that point
@@danielnelson4881 but these cars stock beat mustang gts wrx's and 350zs of the time so it was overdosed and underrated
When I had my SRT-4 over 3 years, it had a built motor, GT3076R AGP Turbo kit, complete fuel kit, etc.... 525hp/498wtq on a mustang demo and pump gas. Ran mid 10's all day. Nice ride.
That reminds me of my first truck I bought. My grandma had to drive it home for me and then I learned how to drive manual transmission lol.
Ive always wanted a an electric blue SRT4 ever since they came out.
Awesome review! I loved having my stage 2 SRT-4. Was an awesome car and super fun! Now I have the big daddy ACR so won't be needing the neon 🤣

No you keep both like real enthusiasts do
I have a 2005 SRT 4 . It has 64,000 miles on it . The sift linkage had to be replaced . I had to have the engine mounts replaced. My main complaint about this car is road and exhaust noise on the highway. I have to have use ear plugs so dampen the noise . I had the thermostat replaced on it . It is a Daimler Chrysler car .

Thanks for showing some love for the SRT-4 people man. Yes it is a Neon but Im proud to say that. My first car was a Neon and it saved my friends and mine life in a really bad wreck back in the day. My next car was a Neon and I built it up to be a sleeper and it was known in town as the Honda killer. I now own two SRT-4s and one is a all stock Commemorative Edition with only a 112k on it. If you are interested in driving a stock one that doesn't rattle and vibrate your fillings out hit me up 😀
The srt4 gods have answered!!! 🙏
Great vid
I was a tech at a Dodge dealership back in 97/98 and I owned a sohc "peon" as I called it and she was quick for what it was (15.6 at 89 mph the night I bought it) anyway fast forward a few years and these came out and one day I will get my hands on one
I just subbed Miguel's channel
It’s about damn time! I’m buying a SRT-4 soon!
Nothing but fond memories in these cars...
The mopar stage 3 turbo is very close to the Evo 8 turbo.. The Evo turbo Fits on the mopar s3 manifold and is a good alternative since mopar s3 pieces are rare and expensive...
I had a stage 3 setup that was going in this car, but doing something better with more potential and similar spool time.
Mod It All Garage what setup are you going with? A few years back I bought my 3rd srt, and decided to see how quick I could make it for the least amount of money. For less than $1k it ripped , there's a video on my channel of it smashing a bolt on coyote. Catless downpipe, diablo tuner, 3 bar sensors , and wideband with Dusters big injector/ e85 base tune package. Car ripped, would put down ~310whp ~410tq. Still had stock intercooler and fuel pump too.
HipHop Opotamus gtx gen2 30r with a 8.8:1 build motor and head work. Prob like a .63back half for the quicker spool
I was not a fan of these until one day I rode in one with all seats full and 190 pound driver. It ripped with a full car, I was impressed.
I had a white SRT4 ACR back in High School. I Miss it, But at the same time I don't lol.
lmfao thats how i became gay for SRT4's. after a kid in High shcool had a black one.
Obviously. "Different stroke for different folks"
@Sean Price Tell that to Honda civic owners,please.
What is acr
@Sean Price for the price? not really.
Nice! I’ve owned 3 regular Neons & currently have a 2000, they are highly underrated cars & the SRT4 was about 10years ahead of the competition!
10 years ahead of the competition I don't know about that one... What's the competition you're claiming it was 10 years ahead of? I know this comment was a year ago but I'm intrigued to hear what your opinion is.
Another great video, as usual. Keep up the awesome work!
Just bought an 04 Srt4 neon today! Stage 2 230,000 kms LOVELY car.
Love the SRT 4 Neon, But i went with the 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth. Thanks for inspiring me David!
Fractal Gaming those Abarth's are badass little cars. It must turn some heads!
Dope cars but look stupid as shit
I love the uniqueness of them. Very special car I keep close to my heart
Fractal Gaming I had one that I had modified a ton and it was soooo much fun. Got totaled and bought a GTI and I miss the fiat all the time.
Devon Collins best car I've ever had! Plan on going bigger turbo soon!
I’m about to buy one of these as my back up car and literarily was looking for a review by you and couldn’t find one 😄.
i just got a 2006 chevy cobalt ss for my first car cant wait for this pa snow to go away to learn how to drive a manual
VLONE DEMON lmfaooooo
I have been waiting for this video for the past 4 years!!!
When I see my the thumbnail I knew I recognized this car😂 I live in ft Lauderdale 💪🏻
I love my srt4. such a perfect platform to build on 🚀
I have a 2006 cobalt ss/sc i would like to drive down from indiana for you to review. I have full 2.5 exhaust, intake, 3.0 pulley, upgraded drilled/slotted rotors and pads, upgraded motor mounts. About 240hp, but i should have stage 3 and a 2.7 pulley before then. Let me know
Its tons of smiles lol
HITMIX HYEPOCK damn look like a nice car man ! 👌
what part of indiana? how much hp 2.7 pulley stage 3?
I have an Ion Redline which is quite similar to the balt ss, body panels and shit are super hard to come by, but you can make so much power out of there lsjs for pretty cheap too
Rory Wagner yes...people dont understand how fast a ss/sc is lol
Back in 03 i was 11 and my brothers best friend had one. It was the first car id went over 120 in. We did 140 and i remember being so amazed because it was such a small 4 cylinder and it just blew my mind
Dude please clean up your headlights :D
Such an easy job.
Cars going through a complete overhaul soon. New paint, new lights, new motor, new suspension. This is my slow daily beater one. My STI about to become the daily while this one is being restored.
@@ModItAllGarage any new vids coming out??? We hurtn out here in srt4 land bro...
About damn time David!!!!
Should a cobalt ss tc and a ss sc next
Jordan Garman the turbo one would be better to review. Much faster and sounds better
Oh yeaaaaaa, cant wait till you come check out the other 2. Was a good time. Thanks again for the shoutout.
Yes!!!!! I’ve been waiting years for this one, that’s awesome David! My goal is for you to someday get behind the wheel of my “lightly modified” PT Cruiser GT, which shares the SRT4 motor. It’s a hell of a fun car, when it’s done right it can be super clean too. PTs have a rotten stereotype, I’d love to see what you think of her in person.
Channel C.G.E. Not if I burn it first lol
LOLOL I remember when my cousin raced one in his wrx and got pulled hard. Losing to a pt cruiser is the ultimate troll.
J P77 Yeah dude 😂 it surprises the hell out of people. I love it. Idk why they’re so hated and disrespected, SRT4 is a great motor and when a PT GT is done right, they look super clean.
My coworker had a modified pt gt cruiser and it was dead even with my modified fiesta st lol
Really suprised me honestly
Yes I need this to happen I actually wanted one when I found out they shared the engine. Would love to see this.
Dodges performance 4 cylinders are overlooked. The Omni, Charger, Daytonas, and Neons have a TON of performance potential.
Best thing about older cars like the SRT is they don't throw a fit for every little thing you do to them. Theres no electronics to really piss off.
Mike_MANIC_R55 except if you adjust your wga too high, or install a occ and it fills it too much, or if you make over 300whp the axles will start to fail, or if you go with a tune off a diablosport you'll be too lean for most situations, or if you push over 350tq your clutch will fail, or all the boost leaks that happens if you don't zip tie one... Lmfao I loved my srt4 miss the sound of it but they're picky as hell some time
EvoX Pribs I didn't experience any of that on both my stock turbo SRT4's. Both were FBO and Diablo tunes. Of course it'll run lean of you run a tune designed almost 14 years ago. Its a base map for a car with a healthy fuel system. You can easily adjust WOT fuel by rpm with it as long as you have an AFR gauge. Which you should have on this car if you plan on tuning the ECU. My stock clutch took a good beating but started to slip after about 30k miles of 295whp 325tq. I upgraded to a CM 6 puck and it never slipped while I owned it. Never had a 3rd gear issue on any of mine either. Usually those failures were from people running the WOT Shift Boxes and strong arming the shit out of the gear lever. I also dumped the OEM ATF for the trans and used Mobil 1 Euro formula. Shifting was butter smooth.
Mike_MANIC_R55 yeah I never had the 3rd gear issues with mine either but fuck was it a touchy thing lol
I didn’t know you wanted to review one!! You could have reviewed mine!! Super clean and had almost everything replaced on it
Fort Lauderdale represent! I still miss my commemorative SRT-4
Hell yea, I had the opportunity to get a commemorative back in 05 when I lemon Lawed my first non acr srt. But wanted the red again so I got the red ACR instead.
Mod It All Garage Nice. I must say this video makes me want one again. I got lucky with mine, got it in 08 with only 10k miles and stock. Car was alot of fun!
Also, went and subbed.
That was an awesome fine with just 10k. I have my eye on a yellow one that has less than 2k miles. But they want brand new money for it. Hopefully I can come up with that kinda cash. Thanks again for the sub.
About freaking time david! As an srt4 owner i have wanted to see your opinion on it ironicly enough i also had an sentra se-r specv so i really enjoyed the orange one you reviewed its part of what brought me to the channel
He is so right with what he says. I own a v8 and have been looking for a little 4 banger that's good on gas to be a daily beater plus Ive always wanted to learn manual and since I'm such a huge Mopar fanatic this was my top choice but all of the ones I've looked at are ran into the ground just in crappy running condition.
LeAndre Davis Same here man. I've always had a thing for the SRT4 and the Dodge Neon in general.
STRIX Yeah it sucks too because it's an odd car to me I both love and hate the way it looks lol.
LeAndre Davis I think it looks pretty cool. I have an obsession with this car because my old man had an 02 Neon ACR that ran like a dream. I was sad when he had to sell it. It's just one of those sentimental things for me when it comes to cars.
I been looking for a nice one for a daily so I don't have to drive my SRT8 everyday and most of them I find need more money to fix up then some are worth. If I know what I know now, I would have kept my SRT4 lol
Bd Brannon Same here love my Jeep to death and recently moved up North and I feel like the snow is destroying it plus I'm convinced the way the SRT8 sits it's not meant to ride through snow my bumper is only a few inches from the ground. That and 55 per fill up 3 times a week is kicking my A**
Not just an SRT4, but an ACR. Crazy
There are plenty of nice built srt4s. I don't understand what took you so long to find a good one.
turshin no one cares about a neon.
Looks like a lot of ppl care based of the comments...and the likes to dislikes...
In Orlando there's plenty pushing over 500hp, smh where is people living at now a days
He's explained the reason why before
@@AlienNinjaPuppy yet here you are
Finally a proper SRT review from one of the big reviewers! That big turbo one Matt drove wasnt a great example of one. If you ever wanna do a proper Big Turbo SRT-4, I can set you up with one or two.
Thanks David lol. Aye do an Lt1 Firebird bro lol. Also what Camera do you use to record?
I looked for about 6 months in the tampa bay area & could not find a decent one at all. So I had came across a Cobalt SS SC and went with that.... after a year its cool & all. Still want a SRT4 though!
I didn't even know their was an ACR variant for the SRT-4
Dayron Arias wheels harnesses and a badge about all u get. Not much more
Struts are also 5 way adjustable.
Christian Tanso its a lot more than that cmon now
Christian Tanso bbs 16 wheels, larger sway bars , 5 way adjustable shocks , full size spare , different seats , ..not harnesses .
cool guy I have had my srt-4 for the same amount of time and the only issues I have had are the ones I did to it lol. Its a great car that can make decent power and still have a good aftermarket following with modern performance and DCR. He made a good point people hate on these cars a lot and most of the times its the owners that make the car look bad :(
The NFS Underground culture.
Don't forget about the Shelby GLH from the 1980's the predecessor to the SRT4 Neon. Awesome car man!
I have something like this. 86 Omni GLH w/ srt4 swap
“Mickey Mouse job” I know that saying from anywhere 😂🇨🇺
Ryan D yup 😂
De pinga Aceré lol
Mostly Cubans LoL
Ryan D 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Nice meaty tire setup, glad to see something else. I usually see them stanced out with crazy ass 19'' and skinny stretched tires!
