i guess those professional test drivers for motor trend and car and driver can't drive that well.
Please show me where they run a 14+ with a stock manual.

Have you driven both a manual Neon, and an SRT-4? If you haven't, the difference is night and day. The SRT technically ISN'T a Neon, it's longer, wider, and has a larger wheel base too I believe. I actually really like the car (might be because I get to drive them EVERYDAY and because I don't have a quick car around at this time), it's pretty damned quick, has lots of room in it, the tranny shifts pretty smoothly and full boost is almost instantanious.



It's VERY HARD to miss third because the shifter moves into neutral (by itself) as soon as it's taken out of gear, so it makes for great 2-3 shifts. The clutch is very nice, not too firm, not soft at all. It looks decent too IMO, but the rear is WAY too tall and the spoiler sucks *** bigtime. The front looks great and the intercooler is huge and looks very ******' mean.



All in all, it's a well balanced little pocket rocket and one I'd take over ANY Civic ANY day. BTW, those seats are ******* awsome.

Start modding LOL, if the driver is ANY good with a stick, he'll kinda kill you.

Only 2 of those links show the 1/4mi time. But, the point was made.
