VR-4 vs. SRT-4

[[Zero-S]]

Ok so I've narrowed down my 2 car choices right now. I can afford a turbo car, I want a turbo car.

VR-4AWD, TT, and I already know what I'm working on since I already own a 3000GTSRT-4I have connections, can get it @ or below MSRP, cheap

VR-4 will run my about 8, SRT-4 will run me about 21. There is also the whole new vs. used car thing, but honestly, I feel a 92k mile VR-4 is still better than a brand new mopar car.

Oh yeah and my current 3000GT will be gone as of next week.

Sidenote: these are my two choices, don't bother throwing others in.

Sidenote#2: I already have a 240 (albeit not running yet)

srt-4, those things are stought, its been proven, they can hold ungodly boost on stock internals. also, its always nice to be the first owner of a car.

srt4>vr4

[NoStickers]

3000gt's look better

Didn't you just answer your own question?

[[Zero-S]]

In a way, but I still want others opinions.

[cosmo]

I'd take the VR-4 over an SRT-4, but I honestly don't really care for either car

[andrave]

I would respect you if you had a VR4, I saw one run a 12.9 in houston with aftermarket wheels, intake, exhaust, no pass. seat, and a boost controller running 1 psi over stock.I would laugh at you if you drove a neon, even if you beat me.

[UncleBen]

I would rather have a vr4 because of the comfort of AWD. You can run fast in the dry, wet, and snow

But, srt-4 comes with warranty, so you can dog the bejeezus out of it and not worry about breaking anything....

[rydwhite]

VR-4.

I don't care what anyone says, an SRT 4 is still a damn Neon. It may be fast, but it is a Neon. All I can say, is it is a Neon. Neon Neon Neon. Go for the VR-4, it's not a Neon.

[Megaseth]

dont think that warrenty is going to do you good. a lot of stuff isnt covered under warrenty and most dealerships will void it even if you buy MOPAR parts for it. go with the VR4, they just have better sex-appeal, and face it rob, you need all the sex apples you can get.

[[Zero-S]]

Please. I can get *** just by looking at the ho's.

I'm pretty much set on the VR-4...Now to find 8k

[UncleBen]

VR-4.

damn Neon. It may be fast, but it is a Neon. All I can say, is it is a Neon. Neon Neon Neon. Go for the VR-4, it's not a Neon.

LMAO

:Werd :Werd :Werd

[Ghettokracker71]

Neon has a stock color option called "lipstick". ****ing color is "LIPSTICK" do you want to drive a lipstick colored car around ? You know the dodge symbal is the same shape as female reproductive organs too. How gay is that?

What about a GSX? I was thinking if you like the 240sx the Eclipse GSX/Talon TSI is ALOT lighter than the 3000GT wich is a ****ing pig man! I like the VR-4 plenty,but you getr what I'm saing what?

[[Zero-S]]

No thanks. I try to stay far away from DSMs. (Remember, I own a 3000GT already, and I've gotten to know it very well)

And no, the 3000GT isn't and never will be a DSM.

[Megaseth]

if you get one, for the mad JDMtYtE GTO badging. i saw one driving around a few years back with a GTO rear plate.

[[Zero-S]]

Why bother when I can just adjust the current badging to say GTO. And yes, it does look pretty hot.

[quote=" Megaseth go with the VR4, they just have better sex-appeal, and face it rob, you need all the sex apples you can get.[/quote]LOLsorry guys, that was really funny to me for some reason

THe VR4 is heavy (like 3800lbs). But you already have a 3000GT so I'm sure you'll be more comfortable working on that car. How long would you keep your SRT4 warranty intact anyway?...And GT0 (GT zero) is not quite JDM!

[[Zero-S]]

It looks the same, trust me.

[Megaseth]

haha, yeah, apples, they're good for more than just keeping the dentist away and making teachers like you....

and i thought VR4s weighed a little less. you can always convert a lot of the "special features" to the lower model stuff and save a LOT of weight.

[[Zero-S]]

VR-4's tend to weigh around 3760...my sl doesn't weigh much less.

And no, sorry. If I get the VR-4, nothing is coming out of it. I'm too used to lots of power amenities (digital climate control will be a must for my S13 now). ECS is a must on that car, so is active aero.4 wheel steering...maybe that can come out.

edit: On second though...I think I'll keep 4ws as well:pface

[Megaseth]

hmm, well, you spoiled man, i say then you make up for the weight with more power then.

[[Zero-S]]

I say nitrous+turbo upgrade+boost controller will take care of that. I'm not looking for a 10 second car here, but I do want it to be pretty quick.

[Megaseth]

forget 1/4, do a wangan build.

[KkiepCcaSsau]

vr 4 can hold 20 PSI, i don't know about SRT 4anyway.. neon are piece of junk that have no respectvr 4 are being compare with supra , rx7 , 300zxtt , mustang and covertte

[Megaseth]

i think the SRT4 is pushing like 12psi stock on a small turbo thats welded into the manifold, which means turbo upgrades will require a new manifold AND turbo AND wastegate. the engine isnt too bad though, its pretty stout, but dont waste your time Rob.

[Rockenreno]

VR-4... hands down. My friend had one until he went to jail for street racing, and it was damn fast.

[Rex]

VR-4, there are some running in the 11's (1 even 10.2) without N2O.

[Megaseth]

mmmm galant VR4.......tasty.....

[BadMojo]

If you like the VR-4 and working on it yourself isn't an issue, I'd say the benefits of the warranty on the SRT-4 aren't really that big of a deal anyway. Besides, like some others have said...it's possible that the dealership will try to screw you out of warranty work for even the most simple of mods.

Can a VR-4 in good condition be found for $8K? That's not bad at all.

3si.org

There are plenty running in the 10's there:)

I call it my home away from home when I'm not on nico.
