i love the car too bad you couldnt find an ACR, those handle nicely for a fwd with gobs of torque


<--- ex- 2005 SRT-4 owner

 

your kidding, crank and power windows? was it really built that cheap?

 

Maybe it only makes sense to me but, why not a WRX? If you got tired of a turbo FWD, why would you buy another turbo FWD? Pick up a turbo AWD and that is where it is at.

Heck, if you hot an STi, you could switch it form AWD to 90% RWD and back again on the fly.

WRX (or EVO) FTW.

 

When they designed and built the SRT-4 they built it with the idea of wanting it to be the quickest car you could buy for under $20K. Therefore they had to cut costs in some places.

-Reason they based it off the neon unibody
-crank windows in the back
-no cruise control
-etc.

 

Believe you me, i looked at 2 sti's and 1 evo. I'm not exactly made of money so i had to go with the SRT.



Great thing about the SRT over the boosted tC is that the PCM will pull boost in 1st and second gear to keep grip. Nice to know i can floor it from a dead stop with minimal wheel spin. Best run i've done yet is 5.3 secs 0-60.

 

I did almost the same thing.

1. S/C Tc traded for S2K traded for Evo Mr abd then picked up an all stock auto Tc on the side. Turbo 6 speeds with 20psi get old rather quick. More of a pain then a pleasure for regular driving. I end up drivin the the stock Auto RS2 majority of the time. At least it makes the Evo feel fast when I do drive it though. lol. Good luck with the SRT though man. They have potential

 

I'm not speaking to you anymore. you had a bomb xB and then you got a tC and then you got rid of that and got an s2k and now you've got a Neon infused w/ hormones? Okay then. Whatever floats your boat! j/k man congrats on the new ride!

 

Not a smart move...
