Not at all, I think Shawn was saying there’s a lot of import parts in a Dodge Neon/SRT-4…meaning parts made in Japan/by import companies.

Its not that motor. For some reason everybody thinks it is.  
I remember being on Neon sites and they all said its not a Shitsubishi motor.

That could be true but a “high performance” FWD car is a Japanese concept. Whatever :lol

RELATIVELY, as in relative to FWD cars. I think only one or 2 FWD cars have more than 260bhp if that.

I dunno I’m not interested in FWD cars. Even a 200hp RSX is 10x sportier than an Impala or a Caddy

My Mitsu motor on stock interals made more than 99% of the cars on this forum including yours. Wait. Not sure if that’s a compliment? :lol:

That would be a much better choice, but it will not be as cheap as a neon SRT-4

It is relatively high for a $22,000 i-4 FWD that weights under 3000 lbs and can hit 158mph in stock trim.

If power is the only measure of performance then the EVO MR, Subby STI, Lexus IS-F and the Challanger SRT-8 should not have lost to a 260 FWD rental car at the VIR full circuit in last year C&D’s Lighting Lap ~\> [Lightning Lap 2008: Fastest Cars at Virginia International Raceway](http://www.caranddriver.com/features/08q4/the_lightning_lap_2008-feature)
