Lancer platform with a Hyundai engine...yikes...I suppose the Neon has never really caught on as an econobox car, and sales were disappointing. However, I didn't have any reservations at all about getting my sRT-4 because of the 7/70 warranty, which is darn good on a car with so much performance. And again, for the money, it's one helluva car!
There are lots of mods available on the SRT-4s now, with money being the limiting factor! The one mod I saw that looks awesome is the big turbo kit, costs something like $2400. But you get the bigger turbo, intercooler, injectors, ECM, all the other assorted parts (wastegate, BOV, etc). Result is over 300hp, and something like 330 ft-lbs of torque. Sheesh, that car will flat out rip from a rolling start with a mod like that!
But I'll have to wait for a rich relative to pass away or win the lottery before I drop that kind of money into my SRT-4. I gotta plan a few years down the road, and the wife wants to put the kids into an all-girls private high school, at close to $6K a year. Ouch, that'll certainly put a major dent in the funds I'll have available for any mods to the SRT or my motorcycle!
Anyway, keep the rubber side down, and don't let temptation get the better of you!
