Liking the progression of this thread. Dig the concept behind the new SRT-4 Neon, not a big fan of the zero degree alignment from the factory though, basically setting it up to be a factory drag car and at that price point there will be a lot of inexperienced drivers lining up for one and they will blow them up. I think we(americans) have proven we don't have the patience to really maintain a turbo car as there hasn't really been a factory turbo that people haven't complained about "blowing up all the time" when it was just their lousy driving and lack of maintenance. And no, Nissan had better not turbo the SER spec V they'd better give us a Silvia!!!

You forgot the Mini Cooper S, the TDI Bug/Golf, Saab 9-5, Volvo S60R, Audi S4- TT 180 Frontrack Coup- A4 1.8T and Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. I know I probably missed some others. I say bring back the Buick Grand National.

PS- watch out for the new Evo's coming out soon.

And before someone goes off, I was speaking to Forced Induction that is currenly on the market. Not just turbos.

But I did forget the Camaro SS and WS6 Thunderbird, Ford Lightening and the '03 Cobra SVT.

If it weren’t for the price of the LS1 with Ram Air, I would be driving one now. I would have no problem driving a TA or Camaro (Right Repoman?) :ylsuper

I noticed you neglected to mention the '03 Cobra SVT in that same category. I love Nissans, but if I had to choose between a 03 Cobra and a 350Z, I would be tempted.

Isn’t that kind of a personal question? :D

I bought it from http://www.enjukuracing.com I have had the best customer service from these guys. I had an order that got shipped incorrectly and they corrected the problem for me, really quick.

The IS-1920 runs from the throttle body to the mass air sensor. You simply connect the EIS-1920 from the mass air sensor to where the old air box sat (yes that hole). There is one more part that connects from the top to hold the filter.

i guess i came off wrong , i was just saying your were doing good mentioning forced induction cars till you got to those two , ram air isnt really forced inductuion in the same sense as blowers and turbos ,.and at that i was just teaseing you , so just chill , pop open another brew and we'll rap abotu kickass vehicles like that lightning ....everyone has a cobra , but man are they fun , someing about that car and its fox body heritage that just amkes it a hoot , and now with the IRS its even beatter ...till the DEW98 stang comes out

IMO the SVT is poor quality in comparison to a 350z or G35.In fact Ford has stoped production of the 03 supercharged SVT cobra's due to quality problems.As far as Bang for the Buck the american sports cars do provide that!Id have to step it up a bit and get a Vette though!:D

FrEaK, how many times have you seen my sig? I've got the Injen CAI and Cold_Zero and I put his in about two months ago. Believe it you non-believer!

And I would drive a Cobra, WS6, Firehawk, SS or a Lightning. They are all truly bad-a.ss. At least at the strip...

sup buddy? I found this funny cause i met a local guy who swapped the mazda 323 4WD turbo motor into his festiva! 140HP, 1800lbs, that thing is pretty mean!! Still a pos if you ask me, but I won't race him!!!

I can't believe you guys forgot to mention the Nissan Frontier when referring to forced induced vehicles in N. America! I know its a pick up, but I'd love to own one!! Very sharp looking trucks, and I'm sure they perform well. The benzo kompressors are quick as well, don't know much about em though. And then my all time fave, Lotus esprit v8 turbo, but now I'm kinda stepping up the ladder!

I stoped by the Dodge dealer today to get more info on this RT-4 Neon. They wont be getting to the dealers till like june or july. They did have a 2.4l turbo PT Cruser with the FMIC.The salesman I talked to had no clue about turbos or the specs on the neon or PT. He did let me take the Cruser for a ride. Its ok, the one they had was an auto(auto-stick) but was pretty fast for a bread box.The motor compartment is very tight and hard to get to anything due to the size and shape of the front end. The MOPAR also had some quality issues IMO.
