Anyone driven both cars? My friend just bought an 04 neon srt4 but I haven't driven it yet, only ridden in it... feels fast as hell though with tons of torque and picks up really quick. I know numbers wise the neon definately has more than an S, but with some bolt on's will a Type S run close with an SRT-4?

 

I LIKE the Rsx more just because of its stunning Appeal and all around great car with comfy steats, wheels are nice, great transmissions and awesome styling/colours and its aftermarket.

If your in the market only for speed then an Srt-4 will get you there fast.
I hate the way they look myself and Ive actually never hated neons, girls still call them neons and dont know a thing about them mechanically. The warranty is great to but I hated the seats (test drove 03) and the handling was nothing like I wanted and the RSX was everything.

Im in the process for buying an 03 Type S Blackhawk Pearl for 17,700 with 14k.

Depends what you want

 

Type-S needs more than a few bolt ons to run with a SRT-4.

 

Ya Ive seen stock 03's run 13.9's

The dealerships are REALLY cracking down on catching these things on the streets though speeding.

If they catch you racing or hauling *** and maybe even at the track, they void your warranty. Same thing with Evo's

Almost like they gave the great warranty because they knew they would take a lot of them away

 

you'll need a turbo to be as fast as an SRT4 as you are comparing a turbo vs n/a car

 

Neon = built for speed, nothing more

 

they actually handle pretty nice.. my buddy just got one.. seems like a cool little car

 

srt-4 will murder the type s sad but true

04s even have more hp than the 03's

 

haven't had one srt4 make a kill on me yet, its always me killing them

 

maybe with a novice driver, srt-4s are capable of 13.8s stock ...

 

First of all it's not a neon srt-4.

Its a neon, it will claim it on the title.

 

actually it is just SRT-4, you will not see Neon anywhere on the car, even on Dodges website it is set aside seperate from the Neon.

 

ITS A NEON so what if it was seperated on the website.

 

get the S you'll be happier, sure the srt is faster in the straight but when it comes to the twisties, i think the S would take it...

 

a year ago i would say get the S. Now with the 04 srt coming with more horsepower and a quaife lsd, plus it still cost less than a type-s. Thats like a no brainer. Get the SRT.

 

rsx with hondat and cai=not too bad againt srt4

 

i recently went to a dealership up here in NY and test drove the srt-4.

Pro's

Feels extremely fast. You get on it...and oh boy it does go.
Cute guages.
Nice Thigh support in the seats.

Con's

Cheap leather (Pleather) / Fabric Seats.
Radio is out of a dodge caravan. (extremely extremely cheap)
If u didnt know u were in an SRT-4 you could almost mistake it for a standard minivan.
Shift **** looks/ feels like it cost 10 bucks.
Sunroof button is rather tacky with its placement and look.
Its still a freakin NEON.
And how the hell are you going to have power windows in the front and roll down windows in the back?


M.S.R.P. $24,380 bucks

Conclusion.
Ill stick with a Type S. Bose Radio. Beautiful ful leather seats. Great Dashboard Etc. And its an Acura. Acura just sounds like luxury/performance

 

both bone stock


'04 SRT-4


'02 Hype S

How can they revoke your warranty for speeding?!!

 

Are you sure???

This looks like the dyno from a base rsx, or even an EP3...

I thought S's usually put down 160-170whp stock.. But if this dyno chart is legit, then I guess I DO have hope for my EP!

That RSX dyno has way too much drivetrain loss.

Yeah it covers ground fast cause of all that torque, cause of the stroke it has (no revabilty) its longer than a k24's. I live in florida and every friday night there are SRT-4's driving around racing people.
