Re: srt4 at select wheels is a POS
with a DCR built motor and a full race head the stage three only made 407. Do you have any idea what a big turbo with that setup would pull.... can we say 500+

Just look at a stage 3 as a whole, mostly price wise. and look at a big turbo setup from AGP. Id rather go with AGP. or at least a DCR stage 3 Delta

Re: srt4 at select wheels is a POS
So let me start off by stating if you dont like the car and think its a piece of shit then dont buy it period. As for the guy who stated the car is the same as a 2nd gen i would love for you to tell me in great detail why. There are so many differences it would take days for me to list them all it just really shows you have no idea what your talking about.

They also beefed up the suspension, transmission, added bigger rims and brakes, etc.
No matter, as it was based off of the Neon platform. Hence, the reason why in the last years before the Neon was replaced by the Caliber,the Neon was available with the SRT-4 upgrades as an OPTIONS package.

IF you had bothered to read carefully, I stated that the SRT-4 used the 2nd Gen as a starting point, arguing what someone else stated that it was designed from the ground up. Nowhere in that post did I ever state the an SRT-4 is the same as a 2nd Gen. as evidenced here:
I own a '99R/T Coupe... a dead body style.
