If you buy a Dodge Neon SRT-4, please don't mod it! #dodge #advice #neon #turbo #cars #automobile

Please don't modify a Dodge Neon SRT-4. I know you can, but that doesn't mean that you should. Those engine aren't strong. The people who do mod SRT-4's either dump irresponsible amounts of money into the SRT-4's or they blow them up.

If you're buying any car from this era and it's stock, leave it. It made this far don't mess it up now

[yyeezyy]

There are none left. It was a cheap car highschoolers and poor people got and that was years ago when I was in highschool.

I bought an 2004 SRT4 new. Within six months it had mopar stage 2 tune (ECU, INjectors, wastegate) it also had intake and blowoff valve. I sold it after 50, 000 miles trouble-free miles. I looked it on carfax around 2020 the next owner had 300, 000 miles on it. I think it was modible as any other sport compact car of the same era probably a lot better than the same year WRX and the $/result ratio was better than any doodad you could bolt to a D16/D18 vtec Honda.

5 years after they came out every single one on the planet was already thrashed.

That is the most Pennsylvania basement I’ve ever seen. He must have bought his grandfather’s house (no shade)

Love the Neon SRT-4. Almost bought one, but they all seemed to have been treated so rough. Engine sounds highly strung, fun but don’t push it!
If you don’t mind an ugly front end though, and want cheap parts and a nicer interior, the Accord 6spd J30 V6 of 03-07 is still slept on. 6.0s to 60 if you really nail the launch, but slower than the Neon. All the power you can use with an open diff in the front, and you can swap in an Acura LSD or trans if you really want. Only came sedan in 06 and 07 which are rarer than rare, but the coupe handles fantastic (double wishbone all four corners, fits 235 rubber) and isn’t that cramped in the rear, plus big fold down trunk and it just works as a car. Everything’s cheap, everything lasts.

Too late. They're all gone. Ruined by 2Fast crowd.

[heyitsfranklynn]

Bro no. Give it some sway bars and suspension. Old car like that needs it. Heck brace the brake cylinder as well maybe update the master cylinder, it stops like an old muscle car too.

Dude I love these shorts, the format is perfect

[Treeplanter]

Honestly haven't even seen a neon in years.

[Deedumdee]

Mine seems to be fine with 340hp on stock turbo. Granted it’s studded and had porting done

[kusigaripwnr]

At a car show this year there was a fleet of special dodges all low mileage with stickers on them. 70 challanger, gen one viper a hellcat but the one that was just the show stopper was a completely unmolested srt 4. Like you said if you can get your hands in one keep it stock and pristine. Like I’d love to see a wel kept GT cruiser or even some of the srt neons but damn did they get thrashed and crashed.

[alexthejew]

hearing, “i’m talking subaru sti big money” is rough 😭

[ItsJustAnotherTahoe]

Wrong. They have factory “forged” internals factory, and with fueling upgrade, larger turbo and minor bolt ons they make 400-500 and the stock block can handle 450-500 wheel. Don’t knock the whole platform because most that own them mod them wrong or play mechanic and try to do it themselves. These are very capable and reliable cars when done correctly. For example a factory mopar stage 3 will be just as reliable as a bone stock one.

[angelissad]

Finally this is how rcr should make shorts. Next do one grilling or fixing a cabnet or maybe grab coffee in a drive thru lol getting heating but then having to be nice yurrr

[BLVCKPEPPERK]

That’s funny because mopar offered 3 staged kits from the factory with the stage 3 being a td05 turbocharger with toys, and it put many SRTs around 380 HP and 440TQ on HO mode . Many of these cars are very well over 200k miles today, but I’ll let you finish 😂funny video, I chuckled a bit, also loved the car review you did on it

[LostInTheIceOfLife]

I love how these shorts turned into you chilling on a chair to "I need to do stuff around the house bit still need to do shorts" vibe

[DaDaDo]

Thats a midwest basement laundry room right there

[sumofty]

Oh boy you called it the Neon SRT-4 and not just the SRT-4. Thats fighting words to a Neon SRT-4 owner
