Where did you get that the srt-4 can't handle? They handle quite well.

Probably decent, but badly for a small car with that much horsepower. Surely the Sti/evo, etc. would smoke it given that they are not a high-powered front wheel drive platform (which as we all know rather sucks for performance compared to awd or rwd).

Still, for $20k these srt4 are very impressive in the speed they can produce.

I'd take the SRT-4 and throw 10k worth of upgrades on it. It's still a Neon, but it'll eat up a lot of cars. :D

SRT-4s don't have fart cans. They do have fake dual exhaust though and no mufflers.

$1200 worth of mods put someone I know into the 12's with one.
