I had a 03 neon srt. Few minor upgrades. That car was phenomenal for rally. I was very impressed by that car and I miss it. I got into a high speed chase when the state police upgraded to the charger platforms. He hit the cherries and berries on me I was headed south at a stop light and he was headed north. Before he could get turned around in traffic and caught up to me I was gone. 1st-3rd tires chirping and I just kept dumping gears. I was able to get about 12 blocks ahead and cut down a side road and flew behind a house I was living at and they came flying by and never caught me. Unfortunately that car had developed a slight rod knock and instead of catching a possibly felony I paid a friend for I take it to the scrap yard the next day never to be seen again 😂

I have owned so many fun cars over the years sti, Evo, a lot of boosted Hondas, But these SRT4 Neon’s & Cobalt SS’s are so underrated for a 4banger front wheel drive car. Everyone puts them down because the name of the car, Just like the Type R, So when they get gapped all they can say is Well it’s still a Civic or it’s still a Neon acting like it’s the base naturally aspirated turd to make them feel better 🤷🏻‍♂️

I remember a couple guys had these back when neons were everywhere. Theirs never seemed to run right. I have no doubt it had some to do with lack of information on how to work on that stuff back then. Nice to see one up and running. I know one if the ones around here is now parked broken down beside the guys garage. I'm sure he's just about to get it running again.

In addition to all the others calling out the obvious, and nothing against that mini beast Neon, it's an SRT at heart, and SRT cars actually hit hard, but that Challenger driver made theee slowest shifts I have ever seen on a track. That cost him at least a half second. Not to mention his delayed and sluggish start. Neither of these cars could be called a slouch but this race was more about driver skill. Props to the Neon driver for not only bringing an awesome build but driving skills too. With a better driver that "tuned" Scat (tune probably brings it to 550 wheel hp) should have at least matched the Neon. It's simple physics, power to weight ratios. I'm guessing they're both around 8 lbs per hp. However, just look at the vid, the Challenger driver's shifts are excruciating to watch.

I bought a later model SRT-4 and did some very minor enhancements. Stage 2 ECU, upped the boost a little, Borla/SRT exhaust and a methanol sprayer for the intercooler from Devil Doc. This car ran consistent 12.40’s back to back when hot lapped. It embarrassed a lot of “better” performance cars. I finally sold it due to an increasing number of road side conversions with polite, well groomed people with blue uniforms.
