I have had my SRT-4 for 13 years now and its still one of the most fun cars I have ever owned. And there is nothing worse to a racer than being beat by a NEON!
I’ve had a 2003 Neon Srt-4 since 2005. She just hit 20 years old in March of last year and I’ve only had minor issues like knock sensor and turn signal go out on the car.
Nice to see these actually have some track cred. It would be cool to try a 1st gen Neon Coupe. I think they were probably 600ish lbs lighter. The twin cam models were adequately powered.
People will find anything to hate about any car especially the Neon SRT-4 however , Dodge accomplished exactly what they set out to do. Fun, Cheap speed. Well done SRT. Well done
This car never got the cred, it's truly sad it was only 3yr run. 1lapsrt (real race car) used to regularly pass race z06's. Modern civic type R basically. Fun story, i also has a 5spd turbo pt cruiser gt (same engine) that i would race and pass hot cars with. But it too was too heavy and fwd, and not as good as the srt.
these were fast when they released, gave alot of cars in this and higher segments a run for their money, the fastest way to drive them around a tight course is to basically brake boost into every corner lol. left foot trail braking constantly while staying on the gas.
I think top speed is to do with braking points. He likely was carrying more speed, later in the super lightweight Civic hatch not for certain on that but I was wondering about it myself lol
@@TheSlipAngle yeah it doesnt quite add up if you crunch the numbers. If the civic actually had a higher top speed and higher G, it should be carrying a higher average speed, having a higher minimum speed and hence a faster lap time.
really depends I suppose if you want to be pulled out of a corner or pushed....... take the latest civic type r around... Quinn would be screaming........ :) N x
Underrated car imo.
No way srt4 on the slip angle!!! Sick
Stranger things have happened lol

lol
I love the sound of these motors. Was such a blast to drive when I had one years ago.
Any problems with it?
@@Carlos.Rivera never had problems with it when I owned it.

Neon Srt-4/ACRs actually sound really good 👍🏾. It's intriguing
I’d love to see a speed 3 and Cobalt SS
Agreed. Turbo cobalt ss fir that matter. Sc ones much slower
Yesss
@@colebruden4748it come supercharger tho
Dude…! I used to have a 03 stage 2 with toys.. one of the funniest cars Iv had..

Would be awesome to see a well sorted Fiesta ST.
Finally some real tires!
A running Neon SRT-4 ? What sorcery is this ?
Lol
When dodo kids aren’t messing them up, they’re actually quite reliable. I have a 2003 with 154,000 miles and it still runs like new.
Would love to know his suspension wheel tire setup

Love the channel! Keep the rotary stuff coming 🥺
Thank you brother
what was the tire and susopension set up
Love the car and video! What camera is being used to film the car from the outside? I would LOVE to know, thanks in advance!
That front windshield cam on the "straight" is SICK! ❤️ it
I find it surprising how rare these cars are now. Kind of a bummer.
DODGE only made the for 3 yrs..
@@Simple_UA-cam Only two years I thought (2004-2005). ETA Oh yeah, three years, forgot they started making them in 2003.
Every kid wrecked theirs…. Miss my no LSD 03.
@@oraclemiata845 back in 2009 I had a chance to get one. Ended up getting an 03 WRX instead that's been fantastic.
@@oraclemiata845 I had a 05. Drunk miata kid hit while it was parked. GREAT car. You could only get 1 size tire tho
Now you NEED to get a good condition Cobalt SS/tc. Original suspension. Rear sway bar. Decent tires that's about it.
And a MINI JCW R56 generation. They're LIGHT and handle great with the right suspension.
That actually looks like a lot of fun.

Dude awesome video.
Did you experience the lift off oversteer on this car? Or did the owner seem to quell the issue?
No lift off oversteer

One of the nastiest 4 cylinder sounds ever.
pretty surprising the Civic type R had a higher top speed, and higher Gs but a slower overall time??
Cause it ain't no srt4 lol. Still underrated as hell!

May have been an error with the vbox 🤦♂️

Swap this motor into your rx-8 ;)

Neon owners be like "It's an SR blah blah blah it has hrsprs!!!!!" Nah, it's a neon.
🤣🤣🤣
Its always a neon until you lose to one, then its an srt4.
It is an SRT though, they're not wrong 🫡
Same with the lancer evolution I hear those dudes don’t like the evo being called a lancer lol
There were a million of these and they all disappeared. Only thing I can guess is they all blew up
around 20,000 srt4 for the whole production run.
I have the rare 2005 white.
