I dont know, maybe it is a unique oppinion to me. But I just don't call a car a POS that is significantly newer, nicer, and faster then my car. It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

I would rather drive a stock EF hatch than any SRT-4. Maybe that paints a better picture for you. No amount of spit and polish can cover up all the janky Dodge love.

technically, while alot of cars have a setup similar to the hemispherical head, the Exact design of the orignal HEMI is patented...

Well thats the great thing about life, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If we all liked the same things, it'd all be rather boring.

I'll say one thing about the SRt4: Yes, they are fugly, but performance/price ration, can't be beat. To some people that is more important then the looks of the car

So MOST neons don't have a good mechanical history is my only beef with them but someone has to mention the holy grail of neons.... Who here has ever actually seen or driven a Neon ACR and still wants to thrash on em?

i rode in this one today that has a t78 full ballbearing on it running like 17lbs and it laied down 520whp to the wheels on the dyno with a stock bottom end. This car pulled so damn hard, i have such a great respect for srt-4s now. They deffinitly have what it takes to be up there with the best of them

I have alot of respect for the SRT-4, they are very fast for the money. But that does't mean its not ugly.
its like the AWD Talon the only good thing about them is the drive train, just put that in a better looking car and i would drive one in a heart beat. But like I say, no matter what you like or do some one else thinks its stupid.
