SRT4 Neon owners

I have a buddy with a SRT 4 neon

gets 33 mpg, best time this past summer was a 11.90 in the 1/4. Has about 200 runs on it and needs a clutch (this one was put in about 2 years ago.

It has a stage three kit on it, runs drag radials or slicks. He bought it new and said about 3,500 in mods to get from 14 stock to low 12's. This is his summer daily driver.

Drove to Mopar Nats last year on the drag radials got over 30 mpg with ac on, lowered air pressure, run low 12's, air tires up drove to hotel, back the next day and on sunday drove it home.

He has trailered it only one time and that was the day he run the 11.90. The track was prepped well, his slicks on and coil overs adjusted. he was afraid to drive it the 80 miles to the track with this setup and possibly break something trying to get it in the 11's

This is what he would like to do. Find a totaled SRT and buy a 2 door neon, swap the drive train for the SRT to the coupe. Coupe is 500 lbs lighter than the srt, thinks it would make a faster car.

He has had no real problems that you would not expect.

I'm thinking he said he has like 385 wheel HP. Claims the stock short block can take more and hold up.

he also said the Mustang and Comaro guys will count back to see who they run and when they see they are up against the neon they pull out. They hate getting beat by it.

His Brother had a ARC SRT4 Neon also with stage 3, sold it to get new RT Challenger, his insurance on the RT is quite a bit less than the SRT

The insurance is high because it is a car that the younger crowd can buy and they crash them regularly. Seen leaving the Kokomo car show a few years back and 3 SRT's left together, 1st one, smoking the tires, 2nd one smokes the tires 3rd smoking the tires, 1st one stops, 2nd one hits him, 3rd one hits 2nd, what DUMBA**ES

The guy that painted my Dart had one he was fixing that had been totaled, guy bought it for 2K, just wanted a fun fast daily driver. I think he got a good deal on it. The car had some mods and really wasn't hurt that bad.
