Just wondering if you guys think the SRT-4 can hang with your ITRs in the twisties...haha

How does the ITR compare to the SRT-4 when it comes to handling, braking...etc

 

Im sure the Peon is capable enough to hang around the R on a track, but probably not as quick when all is said and done. I think the R would edge it stock for stock since its got the LSD and track inspired suspension. It would depend on the course also. I believe this has already been discussed before and will probably be locked.

 

I have not driven the SRT-4 but from what I have read the ITR still has the definite handling advantage. On a right course I'm sure a SRT will be able to post faster lap times stock for stock due to the power advantage but when I comes to conering speed, braking, and overall balance I don't see it really coming that close to the R.

In terms of modded vs modded I think it will be the same. The ITR is a better platform in terms of handling and the SRT for power. Thus I'm sure the SRT will be able to produce faster laps but the R will still have the advantage in cornering speed.

 

oh sorry, i did a search, i couldn't really find anything.

yea an SRT4 definately accelerates faster than the R, but cornering, braking and balance like Active said are all in favor of the R

 

Im just guessing based on a video I saw of the neon vs a WRX. The neon pulled on the WRX but not that hard. I know my car can pretty much hang or pull on a WRX as well(stock for stock, espcially on the top end) so that would mean the Neon wouldnt pull as hard against an R as it did on the WRX in the video. Throw in some faster cornering speeds for the R and I think that would be enough to put the R in front. Depending on type of track of course. just my 2 cents.

I still have yet to see the neon on the street though.

 

i dont like to judge cars i havnt driven,if the 2 went head to head on a track i think it would come down to which car had a better driver,reason being where eth ITR lacks for strait line speed it makes up with its cornering speed.Then again we all mabe under estimating the Neon an it handleing ablitys.

 

Haha, that was my friends WRX, and he's not stock

 

was the neon stock? how "not stock" was the WRX? now we are throwing too many loops in to try to guesstimate which is better.

 

haha, read the post in the Kill Stories forum

 

I'm eager to find out.

There are very few cars that can hang with the R in the same price range.

Type R's rule

 

how long can a neon run hard before it overheats?

 

that srt-4 has zero camber, so i dont think it would able to handle that well at all

 

what are the specs on that SRT-4 anyway? price, power and ect..

 

LOL...

Four 30 minute track sessions in a Dodge turblow? No thanks.

 

no mufflers from the factory / forged internals? intercooler / ?

if the boost is at stock levels... it should be just fine.

 

Sadly, I think the only place I'll ever see a Neon SRT-4 is trying to race cars on the freeway.

YMMV

 

fyi.... I guess nobody has heard of Mopar?

bolt on upgraded turblows = priceless.

-who should trade

 

Sure you would, Willard?

 

High hp fwd and the lack of traction that comes along with it, gets tiresome though.

 

fuggin A right....

stage three from mopar + 300hp/LSD + factory warranty + 'LS' badges = priceless

 

stage 3 is not under warranty from what I heard...only stage 1 and 2 are under warranty. either way its not gonna take much to make that thing very quick in the straight line. corners on the other hand....probably need a lot of work.

 

Who cares about corners?

 

werd y0!

 

my type R will beat corvettes. end of story.

ive heard mixed reviews about this neon thing. lots of people dont like it cuz "its still a neon" they are just jelous cuz well, a neon is faster. but i dont give a hoot. i enjoy working on my car no matter how slow/fast it is. but im questioning the handling ability of the neon. havnt heard much about it. just heard about acceleration and blowing up.

 

Z06? No.
