Look bub, you are trying to downplay your original post. Take the hint above and just stop. (PS people aren't laughing with you...It is at you)

Car enthusiasts come from all walks of life. Some are young, old, or in-between. Some live comfortably, others can barely afford what they have. To me, all that matters is the common brotherhood bred from an interest in cool cars.

What is a cool car? Whatever one makes it to be. That doesn't mean everybody has to love it. What's important is that the owner loves it. I know guys with Lambos and Porsches (I used to have one), and I know guys with primered old Novas and Dusters. We all have the same common interest: we dig cars.

Anyway, the SRT4 is a rocket in the right hands, with the right equipment. Cool? I think so. Grandma ain't gonna buy an SRT4; it's an enthusiast car targeted in a more affordable market than the Camaro. The Camaro is overpriced. Had I not gotten the super deal I did, I wouldn't own one. It's all a matter of preference. Full throttle, brothers and sisters.

This PSA brought to you by Dodge/Fiat/Daimler-Chrysler, GM, Ford, Kia, Scion...or something like that.

I spent a ****load more on my car than most people spend on their car including mods.

But I recognize that almost anyone could take a cheaper car and wax the floor with me. Doesn't mean I have to justify my purchase by pointing it out to everyone.

You bought your Camaro because you like it. Every time you take the oosition of I spent more up frony and "could" do xyz, there's someone else who spent more than you who could have done xyz.

It depends. Over my Mustang? No, because I got it the way I like it. Over a stock V6 or V8 Mustang, and with the SRT4 the way I would want it set up, I would.

LOL! This site is hilarious. Last year, a guy posted that he sold his Camaro SS and bought a new EVO X. He wasn't being smug or anything, just stating how he traded the Camaro. My God, people jumped his nuts so fast, calling him every name in the book (see ya later loser, enjoy your rice rocket, etc., etc., etc.). With this thread (the flip side of the coin), a guy says he saw an SRT-4 and decided to chase him down. Now, this guy gets his nuts jumped for running down a Neon. Some folks you just can't please. I suppose just come on here, look around and God forbid you post for fear of getting "burned at the stake". I personally didn't think the OP said anything wrong. Carry on lynch mob...carry on! BTW, I like all these little pocket rockets: SRT-4, Cobalt SS, SVT Focus, EVO, STI, etc.. All are awesome cars! I loved my EVO VIII!

That's the thing, he didn't run him down. He came on here bragging about how much more expensive his car is.

Now I'm sure your not putting down the auto are you.

I take it you've never been in a lynch mob. They definitely don't post on forums. They're a much more violent group.

The point is that it's still an SRT4. I was simply saying that I could sell my SS and put $18,000 into an SRT4, I just wouldn't. It wouldn't bother me a bit if he beat me from a dig at the track, I could buy the same car and make it faster...I'd just rather do it to this one. You have these children with these NEONS (I don't give a shit what model it is, it's still a neon.) doing all kinds of shit to them because of Paul walker. Fact is, I'm not hating or jealous, congratulations on your neon with $5,000 in it. These aren't justification statements, they're facts.
You do realize your rental car camaro isn't leaps and bounds above a srt4 right?

I just couldn't see it being a daily driver for me. It would be a fun car to own, but I don't think I'd like it for day to day use like I do with my car. To each their own!

Ive never been a big fan of the exhaust sounds from the srt4's. But they can definitely be fast.

The best thing about a srt4 is how fast everyone thinks they are. Lol, but all they see is my tail lights!
