well heres what u can break this thread down to........brand new SRT4 will cost u say 20,000........and insurance will be high.
OR....................buy a 92-95 hatch or coupe with a blown motor....for say 2500$......get a K20 swap with a 6 SPEED tranny for 5,000.....and boost it for another 3,000 (for a good ass turbo setup.) Insurance will be cheap.....considering ur insuring a 1.6 liter Honda............so with the civic ur going to have a car that will have under 35,000 miles on it.....a 6 speed tranny........and um yea it will run low 11's. total price------------10,500........so almost half the price of the neon.....and nowhere near as ugly.....Se7en has a boosted (lol had) k20 in a 7th gen civic....runnin 11.7 in the 1/4.......so imagine what his setup would run in a hatch?............
so ud pay 20,000 for a 13 second neon?> or 10,500 for a 11 second civic?.........even if u had everything professionally installed......it would still be cheaper than the neon.
Bottom line..............F#CK dodge (unless its a stealth TT or viper)
Unfair to compare stock to modified cars. Aftermarket parts are better. You can get a used SRT-4 and put a Mopar(ts) stage whatever and have a dang fast car for under 20 k and very near your 10k. On top of that it wont be a 10 year old car. Plus if you insure your civic as a civic with a stock 1.6 motor and it get stolen (I know I know, civics never get stolen) your insurance company will give you money for another 92-95 civic with a 1.6 motor. Now your out 8k and have to drop another 8k and now nearing the 20k you were trying to stay under.
oh yeah...................F#CK the viper, cmon 20 valves??????? We have this thing called technology. VW 4 cylinders have as many valves.

You can quote me all u want...but even if u found a used SRT4 it would cost over 20K to make it run 11's..........bedies id take a 10 yr odl civic over a new SRT4 anyday (im refering to the one with the boosted k20)...............neons are fricken ugly.......mopar could make an SRT4 faster but its goin to cost u over 20K..........invest that money on the K20 and it will rape the srt4
