They break down like you wouldn't believe though. So given how old they are at this point - any of the ones you see still running around was likely built properly and driven by someone who knows how to keep it going. Don't dismiss this little FWD sleeper so quickly. Dodge even sells these guys a Stage II and III power upgrade package under warranty. I hated these damn cars back when they came out, but one can't help but respect a $19,000 car that runs 13s stock. I ran into one on the highway a few years ago in my EVO IX and once I heard it spool I knew I was screwed because it didn't sound stock at all. Sure enough he walked me like I was driving a prius.
its happened to the best of us man. one reason why i dont care for power so much anymore is that no matter how fast you think your car is, somebody has one thats faster. its a never ending game.

I already hooked him by trolling by and now he is next to me at a light....I give it a little gas and he is trying to pass me. I am waiting for him to hit the gas, but with 3900lbs plus I cant tell if he did or not. I know he thinks I am just in a little jelly bean, but I have 1/2 as much money into my car and I would poop all over that SS hood and he wouldn't know what hit him...Whats is up with that fake mailbox slot on the front end anyway?"

Funniest thing I've ever read on this forum!!!

My friend had an SRT-4 Neon, it was a quick little car and it was halfway comfortable to ride around in. They can be pretty mean, but he broke his front axle seemingly every other week. And he had this attitude that the car was the pinnacle of automotive ingenuity, which it ain't haha.

FWD speed is pretty cool. I have been left for dead with me running a 12.5 ET by a noisy stock looking civic with slicks in the front.

Respect by not taking the easy route.
