However, I just found one more little goodie that escaped my attention, 160-Ampere Alternator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slipstream said:funnylittleman: In regards to the Neon, I know it's a beast for straight line drag racing, but to me that seems to be all it is. An engine does not make a car. I'll leave mine to some kid who wants to wrap himself around a telephone pole and help pour a little chlorine in the gene pool. I tend to agree with you on the Automobile Mag comparo. They're not slow times by any means, but they're certainly not accurate for the MSP.

The SRT/4 has all but matched or bested the MSP in the handling and braking numbers throughout the different reviewers results. Its close enough where the driver will determin which does better in those tests. The only real diffecnece is the supposed feel the MSP gives that the SRT/4 does not. I will find out how accurate that is when I drive the SRT/4.

If it actually comes down to which "feels" better, than I'll take the one that "feels" better. To put it very bluntly, I don't like the Neon. Period. It's ugly, it's offensive, it's a Neon (flame me if you must, but I stand by it), it's loud, and it's American. I don't want one, and I refuse to hop on the bandwagon and become an SRT sack-rider, especially given the problems they're already experiencing (check out SRTForums.com for more details).
The one thing that truely has me hung up on the MSP is the safety issue. I did some reading up on both the Protege forums and VW's forum, and the GTI is a veritable TANK compared to the Protege. What sticks out most clearly in my mind is a member by the name of Kincaid (both here and that other place). He was T-boned in his Protege at 60kph and was put into a 2 week coma and went through months and months of recovery therapy. That, for a 35mph (ish) accident! Pictures of his car showed heavy footwell intrusion for the driver, and luckily for him he had an automatic... I can't imagine what his leg would look like if he had a clutch to press.

I never said anything other then your statement about its handling was wrong. Thats it. i did not endorse it in any way or flame you.
Thanks for the SRT link, I fun it funny they have an entire forum just for problems. Great fun. No clunk but everyones ECU throwing random codes is funny stuff.
