i drive mine cause it's purdy. not fast, lol. tbh i was a little shocked when i first bought this (my first mustang) that it was'nt really that fast. so i started adding bolt ons all over the place, lol. was'nt till i installed 3.73's that i felt any real difference. but i will say it runs really nice. it's gotta little pep and sounds awesome. def a head turner...i like the sn's for those reasons.

Well. Remember this. your car may be older, and slower, and weather not you win, or lose, or decide to race nor not.... it's still a mustang. and that's why you got the hotter Girl. ...(Probably).

Oh god I remember the SRT-4 Neon crowd when those things were still new... I seriously thought all the ricer stereotypes were just interwebz trolling until I met a few SRT-4 owners... yikes... there is also a reason you almost NEVER see one around anymore... As for the Caliber you will get assraped with a spiked war dildo with no lube if you race that thing in a stock SN unless he can't drive at all and you do it from a stop for a short distance.

And as for why we drive these things still... they look amazing, they are CHEAP to mod, parts are plentiful, dollar for dollar they go faster than just about anything out there and a built turbo 4.6 running the same boost these new age turbo guys run will make a metric shitton more power, be very reliable, sound better and RWD>FWD any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Funniest thing I ever read on the SRT-4 forum other than an idiot who did an oil change by running his motor with the filter off to get all the oil out because he couldn't get the drain plug off was that the SRT-4 Neon was a superior DRAG platform to a Mustang... yeah... ah memories.

i actually know he will :(

as much as i love mustangs, my old srt neon would spank a stock sn' ass, lolol. that's just cause it was factory turbo'd. now turbo a 4.6 and well...


i'd say the caliber is bout 260-300 horse. turbo'd 2.4L?
You're also comparing a turbo 4 cyl to a turbo 8 cyl. IMO Set of cams, gears, headers, intake, CAI, and a tune and you'd probably see a good race.

THe Caliber will clober you OP no doubt.
