As nice as the STi was, i wanted something more comfortable. Its got a DVD player in the back, moonroof, leather, sick sound system. My STi was amazing I loved it, but I wanted to treat myself to something more upscale. I wanted to move up market with this.

Out of my group of friends im usually the one who drives, and the jeep has more room in the back, more room to carry our sh t whenever we go sking or camping not to mention this motor is just SICK lol

I remember when i first drove an 03 SRT4, i redlined it in 2nd shifted out at like 68 mph and powershifted into 3rd on the highway. The first 2 words after "holy sh t" to come out of my mouth were "mini-viper" lol
Mine were... "Damn..." Then I tried going around a corner at a high rate of speed and then I said... "SHHHHHHHHHHHHiTTTT, I'm going to die." Then I happily went back to my 115hp MINI and toasted the SRT4 in the twisty bits. It doesn't help that it still looks like a Neon either. You could put a Viper engine in and it's still a Neon.

im pretty sure if you got me on an autox course I would TOAST your mini. Most drivers (including yourself) dont know the limits of the SRT4. Its unpredictible. The SRT4 stock will slalom @ almost 70 mph. And with a few upgrades provided from mopar it will out slalom a viper.

and looks are subjective i love the look of the SRT4 and people calling it a neon has no effect on me

lol

My Civic is serving its duty right now as a good reliable daily driver. I have a friend off cape whos going to build my motor and then turbo it. Im getting around to it. By this coming spring im shooting for 250-285 whp out my Civic.

While im driving to Boston its saving me tons of money to drive the Civic, im getting upper 30's mpg while speeding. I got 2 cars on the road, I got 24 thousand for my STi, i put 15k down on the GC, and the rest im throwing in the bank.
