A 1st gen coupe like his is about 2500lbs or so. The SRT-4 is 2900+. It’s about like the difference between a GC and a GD (comparing an early impreza to a new one for the non subaru types reading this). > > It wouldn’t be that terribly expensive to get an early neon like that to the level of a stock SRT. Most of the SRT-4 engine parts are really cheap. my point made, If i really wanted to, with about 3 grand or so and stripping the interior to nothing the RT would more then likely run 12’s all motor easy. maybe low to mid 11’s with spray i would think, I’ve seen it done. and as for people who swap the Srt4 motor in the 1st gen neon, I’ve seen videos and heard from many people that the srt4 is no match for the srt swapped 1stgen. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/subaru/186885)._
