wow now i wonder what my stock SRT will do on that... how $$ much does the cobalt SS run? too bad the neon SRT is only 03-05, people don't like doing current reviews on it.

lol its a dodge its alread disqualified

but for real idk the old evo was the quickest of the bunch for that generation

for this new group idk if i had to put money on it is say the new hyandia coupe with the I-4 turbo evo engine, or the new toyota with a toyota chassis, and a subie engine and drive train thats coming out in world markets there getting the STI engine, in the US im not sure if it is getting that engine maybe a wrx, or N/A boxer i forgot but both cars will be heavy hitters

It's a pretty impressive list of cars it beat, especially for the money. Maybe FWD isn't so bad after all

[enkeivette]

Wow, every car above the SS on the list other than the Z is a high end car. So I guess Chevy wins the ticket for the inexpensive sport compacts this year.

they did good for a well priced production car, i still think that if you dont plan on keeping the car stock and want the best price to mod to performance gain ratio go with the evo, but if you wanna keep it close to stock the SS takes it.

well cant win them all :-(

It's never appealing to me when a newer model is slower than the older model. I would rather have the Evo, but an 8 or a 9, not a 10.

ya i know what u mean it kinda kills the whole EVOLUTION theme they had going!!!

also AYC isnt all its cracked up to be its great for an amature driver to keep him safe, but every other evo community around the world actually thinks the US evo 8-9 are lucky because we dont have that on our evo's , it supposedly interfears to much when trying to puch ur car past a curtain limit.

that list is incomplete. I don't in fact see that a neon SRT4 was tested. I'm happily willing to donate my car for some testing You can't discriminate when we have the SRT viper ranked well and the Caliber SRT on the board but no Neon SRT haha I'll see if my buddy will test his ACR.

Any body want to put together a list of MSRP for each car? I'm curious to see that. I have no problem with a 30k car smoking my car or performing better by alot or a little hehe. MSRP for the neon SRT started at 19,995 and it's probably damn near the fastest car you can buy new from factory for less than 20k. I bought mine for half the price of an evo haha. (must partially be because i have half the AWD)

anybody know specifically how much the SS is? I'm really curious.

Ya, but it's the wrong half.

[st-evo-9*corn fed-8urvet*]

lol now now dont badger the boy.

when the srt-4 first came out ir was 19,XXX then after realizing they would sell like hotcakes it went up in 04 but for sure 05 to like 23-24k i believe.
