not every car has to be perfect.

2/14/2006 5:51:54 PM

That's why they make Civic's right? and people tune them? oh wait...

2/14/2006 5:55:57 PM

300hp is way above the max for fwd

2/14/2006 5:56:36 PM

There are 500+hp SRT4 Neon's out there... Not that I condone them, however, I know that they are out there and doing okay.

wrong, it is the new world motor, aluminum block, vvt, better flowing heads.

2/14/2006 8:20:22 PM

are they gonna have it as srt? i thought the highest trim for it was r/t with like 180 hp

i wonder how is sprinter selling. in europe sprinter has been THE workhorse for a while

2/14/2006 9:31:27 PM

yes there is going to be an srt model, 6 speed manual, 300hp 260 lb ft, 2.4l turbo, 3100 lbs. should be under 25k.


next viper is 2008 model (skipping 2007 model year) w/ 8.4l v10 making 700hp.

I saw it inside and out 4 months ago, from stamped parts to finished vehicle. I've been in and out of that plant for the past few months. I get to see all kinds of cool shit before anyone else does

^^$10 bucks says it still won't be as fast around a track as most other sports cars with 500hp.
