- We all love our cars but at the same time their thing that drive us crazy about them at the same time well my srt4 is no exception. So here are thing's that I found I love and hate about it now having said this I have had very little seat time in my srt4 so these things may change.
The number 1 thing I love about my SRT-4 is that EVERYONE hates it
Moto Sapien Honda drivers hate them until they ride or drive one
Untrue.. I love the sound of them and how they look and im a honda guy.
Actually the most hated car is a Honda.. Srt4 are actually very legit and have a great sound.
true I really hate hondas lol. Ima mazda fan

My number one thing I hate about my srt-4 is the turning radius. It blows.
mastarubio that's a dodge thing they believe in having the turn radius of a damn train
I heard it was inherited from the pt cruiser from a Dodge stealership mechanic
mastarubio the srt neon uses the pt cruiser steering knuckles so that might be why. I have a cruiser nd it turns like a fucking fish truck
e brake
Oh yeah for a little car it's got the turn radius of a train
you know whats good about manual windows and seats is they don't break :)
jaja binks and weight reduction
Nah manual windows suck. I broke mine.
Higgins user error...
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve had to change my electric window motor in my SpecV.
I have a srt-4 as well I love mine!
I didnt really care for srt4s until i went to go look at one on craigslist and i bought it with a built trans for 700hp and has 550whp and runs on e85. It is definitely an awesome care and very fun to drive.

One of the things I really like is the fact most of people hate on SRT4s I have never needed recognition from anybody but occasionally a VAG or JDM guy come close to give love which I really love too, real car guys/girls 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The ones that hate the srt4 are usually the ones who can't keep up with it
h22sparkle my stock ‘16 wrx lost to one with a front mount (i don’t know what else). They’re quick
@@VIXREX I respect that you admit that... I plan on getting a wrx once they remodel it... I'm hyped
FR!
As an srt4 owner everything you said I 100% agree on. I have a 34 waist and the viper seats are uncomfortable to a point. I have the same suspension and I agree with the ride.
Loving your videos.
I love the SRT-4... They get big respect from me.
Those Neons were badass too. I knew of two of them in the Baltimore area. One had a SRT-4 exhaust on it made a car sound awesome. The other one was a older neon that were beating up on interviews all day.
The only thing I can agree with on your hate list, is it definitely doesn't get enough recognition for what it really is.
We have a hardcore SRT4 fan I see?
The Calabar was built on the neon platform, Chrysler was looking towards the future and new that crossovers and SUVs were taking over so they jumped on the band wagon before anyone else and now even Ford and Chevy are getting in on it by creating SUV versions of thier favorite cars like the mustang and the Camero
I just bought one! 👌 i pick it up this week
How much u get it for? If u dont mind me asking
@@streakskills544 i got it for $6,500 but now they should sell for no more than 4k. I just got done installing my new clutch and turbo and i cant wait to drive it. They are fun as hell car. I recommend getting one.
Love my srt4 but my huge complaint about it is no cruise control. That just kinda makes me shake my head lol.
Josh Bennett aaaah who cares I rather have control..complete control.
I have a 03 SXT completely swapped over to SRT i have the raceland red coilovers and I think they're decent, MUCH better than eibach sportlines on struts, the interior breaks easy which sucks but they're a plethora of replacement parts out there, SRT's are my obsession and has always been my dream car, yours is nice especially with that many miles on the body and interior my 03 had 154k on the stock 2.0L ticker and the interior was DESTROYED luckily i had almost every from my swap into my 97 coupe.
Enjoyed the video man. In '99, my first car was a neon and I've had a first gen in the driveway ever since. Always wanted one since the Neon SRT concept, being a Mopar guy. I couldn't afford it in '03... I eventually could have got one but passed as I went beyond neons. I finally said F-it, got back to my roots by selling my bike for a stock '05 stone with a blown engine/trans in '12. We've been building it up since.
Also, I'm jealous that you're that close to BST. Nigel has email tuned our car since the beginning and we're needing to finish up the fuel to get a dual 93/85 dyno tune at the shop. We're in Mississippi so it's a little bit of a haul to NC. Oh, and I don't take emissions for granted at all!
I had 2 SRT4's. Loved them both
1. It is a Dodge
2. It is a Dodge
3. It is a Dodge
4. It is a Dodge
5. It is a Dodge
배ᅧᅢWhdydtn is that a bad or good thing
I moved to Bessemer city from Charlotte and now I'm a little closer Nigel. love my 02 srt swapped neon. keep the neons alive
Christopher Smith neons are awesome
Awesome video. Been contemplating getting an srt4
Tanks, get one you will never look back
No cruise control was the reason I sold mine! Still one of the most favorite cars I’ve owned!
You should buy an aftermarket cruise control. That was an easy fix.🤔
Also dynomat and luxury liner is amazing 😉
Man I feel ya on the seat issue! I'm a big guy as well.
Your srt4 is beautiful my dude, keep it up.
smelling 1k subs keep it up bro!
I don't understand why these cars are so hated on. Maybe someone could explain it to me. People put there money and time into there vehicle's and people disrespect them. I got some advice drive your vehicle and blank off...thanks great video
John Chappell It’s because they’re related to the neon.
The srt4 exhaust sound is only comparable to a pissed off hornet mag dumping an ak
Nice videos man keep making more
George Dimopoulos Thanks I will
I heard from a guy that worked at a mopar performance shop that they put the manual window in the rear for weight reduction, the evo mr is the same way, and that is for a fact because of weight reduction
dont forget chrysler was going down the shitter and was doing everything they could to save money, sure they will say 'weight reduction cause racecar' but it wasnt the only thing they skimped out on, they also suggessted that you put automatic tranny fluid in a manual gearbox.........why? because by eliminating the manual gear oil that should be in there they save 250mill in production costs per year
Friend that so sorry is that the automatic transmission is problematic in changed the manual is zero problem
Great video! I acquired a 2004 srt4 with 41k on the clock last september and still LOVE it! Honestly though, I like how simple it is (except for the fucking manual windows...). The reason they made it so cheaply is that they wanted it to be much cheaper than the competitors to show that a performance car doesn't have to cost a premium. The competitors were in the 30k range and these were right around 20k with the SAME PERFORMANCE. I can only imagine if they put another 10k worth of price into these... Still shitty Dodge quality, but better shitty quality.
you have a point on the interior and exterior but the good side of being exactly like a base neon is that you can find the parts at junk yard ...because it's a very thin chance that u find a srt4 at caryard.
I will agree you a 100%
Mamba pressure plate make sound sick af
on a side note, you should copyright the "it's either here or here I dont know cuz Im filming" lol cracks me up everytime
Absolutely
The worst thing about my srt 4 is getting the 02 sensor and CST readiness system to set .
I'm from wilkesboro and have buddy's that Nigel did work for his work is awesome
Yes I know Nigel he tunes my cars awesome guy !
if it has all 4 plugs on the ECU its a stage ECU with toys.
I bagged mine instead of coil overs it’s nice rides like Cadillac syke.
Why do people care so much what others think about your car? They are the ones with the issues.
Honda gets the same shit to man. “The end of the day it’s just a Honda” type of bullshit...
cool video me I have an 04 SXT 60k on the odometer also 5speed done some engine work and also exhaust and I love my Neon ya I know it's not an SRT it turn some heads take on 4bangers 😆
Hell yea
I like the wheels on your SRT-4.. what kind and size are they? BBS?
BBS RS reps 17x8
@@NITROKID98 Cool, thanks 🙂
When I bought my 2004 srt4 it had all electric and sunroof. The odd thing about it was the rear doors had manual windows. It always pissed me off lol and I never figured out why
Kevin Webster that’s just how they make it man mine is the same minus sunroof
i own a focus ST 2014 its stage 3, making 272 horse and 335 tq to the wheels. i thought i had the fastest 4 cyl turbo around, one day a jet black neon rolls up with limo tints all around, and i beeped the 3 times we start pulling, im beating him though first. he missed second gears shift (i heard it) so i start winning, then he just launches past me in 3rd and gets 4 car lengths and gaining fast. so in other words he smashed me, we go to the red light, he rolls down all his windows, and there is 4 full grown guys in that car..... i was alone in mine........how the fuck that thing pulls like freight train with 4 people in it? no idea. and after talking to him, he was on his snow tires aswell....im on mich sport 3's.... if he was alone i dont even want to know what that car can do, thats like -400lbs ez judging by the size of the guys
I love neons i like the styles u can make them look nice an parts not 2expensive
did you ever figure out what was causing the automatic trans realay to pop up and how did you fix it mine has the same thing
👍🏻
Wish they would've given the srt4 treatment to the dart....have one and it's a nice car. Just no nuts. Heavy. But I corrected that. Atp Turbo, mpx bored 68 mm throttle body, ingen intercooler, obx exhaust and headers, air intake, too much to list......
I fully agree I don't understand why they didn't.
Headers? 4 cylinder has a header. Single. Also do you have a header or a turbo?
Or is it a remote mount? Im so interested in this. I love the way darts look. Would love to see a turbo one.
Uhh the seats were inspired by the Dodge viper if you like that.
Number one bad for any built Srt4's is traction . I don't stop spinning until 4th gear.
Slicks dude!
dj setterstrom tires
Slick tires and lunch control.
I’m looking at buying one of these as my first car... any tips?
Music is a bit loud, but great video nontheless
I might be looking to buy one of these cars in the future is there anything to look for besides the 3rd gear problem?
EclipseGuy97 I'd say That's and if it Has a sunroof make sure it don't leak
I dont have the actual srt4 car but by damn i have the power plant going in my 98 rt 😁
Nitro! Please let me know if you still have them coils or want to consider selling them still! I live about an hour away haha
Idk much about these cars but can you just replace the stock turbo for a bigger turbo with a little more hp on it? Or do you have to do other things aswell?
You should always install supporting mod's before turn up the boost to much
look up the srt 4 forums, theres so much info on there and thats how I find out stuff about my srt 4 haha.
You're pretty close to me, I'm in the Charlotte NC area - do you ever go to cars & coffee or the UNCC meet?
I've got a '05 SRT-4 (black) - we should cruise sometime!
I try to go to cars and coffee as much as possible but working as much as I do it's makes to hard to but yea we should defiantly chill some time
I'm getting a 2005 neon as my first car and I don't know much about cars but everyone is saying negative things about it
I just wanna know is it worth it to spend money on fixing it up to make it look nice like getting a body kit
I'm looking at getting an srt any tips on what to look for when buying one
I would let someone look it over first just to be safe.
NITROKID98 I just got a 2003 sxt dodge neon. What are thoughts on the sxt models in a short summery?
I wish my PT had a louder popping. Its a stage 1 with an auto. Nice pop, but not quite as loud, even with a muffler delete. I dunno... im a big boy and I love the srt seats compared to my PT seats. Im actually doing a swap out this weekend.
Cubx79 i deleted the cat and muffler and put a 3 inch down pipe on my Gt and sounds insane! you should try, i also added a 3 inch cut out even louder when open
Get some BC Racing coilovers. They're the SHIZZLE!
Im s bigger guy I wear a 42 waist and I was a 44 waist when I owned my SRT-4 and I loved the seat and I think the clutch is just your car I lived my clutch. Also get you some Megan racing or BC coilovers.
Moto Melv I agree with you, my dad was a bigger guy and he loved his seats in his, plus he loved the clutch.
How do you drive a car when its sunroof leaks?
You do not get that sound out of a CSRT4 unfortunately. You have to upgrade the exhaust to get it but once you do.... ITS THERE fo sho!
I want one so bad, currently drive a 2012 Altima coupe, tired of the stance scene,
A real fun car to own and drive but this car can be addictive , mine was up to 420hp at the wheels on a upgrade stage 3 tuned DST. and bunch of supporting stuff." Beware" this car will make you poor. you have a stage two or three pcm.
Hey nitro what wheels do you have , offset etc..
TunedTuning BBS rs clones their a +35 offset 17x8.5"
We need to meet up bro I like 5 away from Nigal to got a silver srt4
one thing i dont like is its FWD which isnt bad but it should have been RWD
Agreed
Would you reccomend daily driving one?
yes 100%
Hey man. What's your name?? I live in NC too. You come to 70 on the weekends??
Nah I might hit 70 up every now and again but not real often hey hit me up on the nitrokid FB page
Do you sale your Srt 4???
how did you get the front bumper to show the intercooler like that?
I didn't do it the previous owner did but all you have to do is cut the cross hairs out of the bumper
I just got one. I live in kings mtn NC
Nice you should come by the shop sometime.
I got a caliber SRT4 and I know what you mean by people not respecting it and deep down inside it's still a caliber LOL
5 things I hated about my neon srt4,1) left me stranded 7 times2) Alternator replaced 3 times3) pinion and rack replaced 2 times4) pin in tranny connector replaced 6 times5) little things breaking 20 times
Biggest regret buying a neon srt4,Cost 10g mods 7g repairs 9 g tow trucks 1g total cost 28 grand wasted.
I have a srt4 powered or cruiser and I love it fuck all the haters
people hate what they can't catch.
I love these things just because you can take a car that looks like it has sickle cell and outrun the shit talking Subie guys
Exactly
lol we don't have emissions in Minnesota
You should get a gsx know what fun and the 4g63 are very strong 💪 motors and they are all wheel drive and factory turbo car
He has two turbo 4 cylinders, why would he get another? AWD also tend to be more of a hassle than blessing at times.
marcos555554 true but if have one the runs good and was built right their very fun
andrew pedre yeah they're fun until you have keep spending big $ on clutches.
Hey you live in nc by nagel how can i get in contact with you i have some questions for u bro! I just got a car from the same town as you live

Stop calling these srt 4. It’s a neon.
