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.

since when is 260hp relatively high???

46

Probably the common misconception that the motor is made by Mitsubishi. Its not.

47

its KINDA like a stroked out 4g63 ( hence it being a 2.4)… or so i’ve heard.

i like srt-4’s. pretty nice rides, mod well too.

48

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.

49

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.

50

Doesnt the new Impala SS have more?

And Id think some of the fwd Caddy’s have atleast that.

51

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

52

:rofl:rofl:rofl

53

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:

Developed by Daimler AG (German)
Mitsubishi turbo (Jap)
…

54

My stock 1.8 liter Honda made just as much power as your Mitsubishi.

55

Congrats. What’s your point?

Also, stock internals? Nope.

56

Actually yes Shawn…lol

57

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

58

600WHP out of the car’s original motor?

59

5XX stock from t/b to oil pan. You shoulda built a honga nucka!!

60

Yeah not quite 600. Close tho. Stock from the Valve cover to the oil pan brotha. 160,000 miles.
