Local guy ran a 13.9x in a bone stock 03 SRT-4 (stock tires.) 03 model = no LSD, the 04's have an LSD available, I wonder what kind of times they'll be putting down.

I like those cars, just wish they used a different, 2 door body. Just my personal taste I guess.

Ayup, LSD is standard. Combined with the equal length driveshafts, and you've got FWD about as good as your gonna get in terms of traction. Wonder how many 2004s are going to be produced...

A friend of mine just bought an '04 SRT4. We raced from a stop and from a roll, and we came out dead even both times. From a roll, whoever punched first wins. He had limited slip, but he said he had to pay extra for it. Anyway, him and his other SRT4 buddy figure a stock 04 can run 13.8's with a good driver. Not bad at all.

Yep, these turbo 4 cylinder cars are no joke. But they are friggen expensive . You are still only getting the same car except alot better performance and higher insurance! The same cars without the goody package is half the price probably.

Ah, but there's the beauty of the SRT-4, they sell for under $20,000. Sure, a "regular" Neon is less than that, but it's a totally different car. The only things that are shared between SRT-4 and Neon is body panels

The insurance is high though, as with any car with the word "turbo" in its description. The insurance is still probably less than a 4th gen v8-powered F-body. Maybe not by much, but still less (I would think so anyway.)

Get a good catback and maybe a set of headers and see if that changes the situation a little...........
