When it comes down to it....Mr. Luos 10-25-2005, 10:43 PM My car is a Firebird. Trans Am. WS.6. Formula. Those are just trim levels of a Firebird. Sorry Polygon, SRT-4 is a Neon, just like a Camaro SS is still a Camaro. Mustang Cobra....still a Mustang. Subaru Impreza WRX Sti....still an Impreza. And so on. Discuss....hopefully not too briefly. -The Stig- 10-25-2005, 10:50 PM A Skyline GT-R is just a Skyline. (Base models aren't all that bitchin at all...) -Josh- 10-25-2005, 10:56 PM Grand National is just a Regal.... Yeah they all start from base models, except for a several obvious exceptions. Behind every beautiful car is it's ugly sister. GForce957 10-25-2005, 11:13 PM Saturn SL2 is still a...well thats about as crappy as it gets :shakehead Mediocrity 10-25-2005, 11:41 PM dodge omni glhs is still just.. an omni. Ace$nyper 10-25-2005, 11:45 PM My Civic even with other Civic parts, Type R parts, CRX parts and mixed trim integra parts is still a Civic. like a type R is braggy rights.... Wow I drive a civic. I am the lowest form of the food chain. Its like saying SUP BITCH I'M MOTHER FUCKING PLANKTON AND SHIT!!!!

Fat Bastard: [talking to Mini Me] I'm bigger than you and higher up the food chain...so get in my belly! TheStang00 10-25-2005, 11:58 PM my car is a mustang... well theres nothing else to the name, so i guess it cant really be confused with anything GForce957 10-26-2005, 12:07 AM my car is a mustang... well theres nothing else to the name, so i guess it cant really be confused with anything Maybe a falcon? Polygon 10-26-2005, 01:29 AM I just don't agree with the context that people use it in. Yes, the SRT-4 is a trim level of the Neon line. However, people say it is just a Neon as an insult with the assumtion that it is a Neon with a turbo. My point is that the SRT-4 isn't the same car as a Neon. You can't just buy a base model Neon, slap a turbo on, and call it an SRT-4. I just don't agree with the it's still just a "insert car here" bullshit. slocar 10-26-2005, 02:09 AM I just don't agree with the context that people use it in.

I just don't agree with the it's still just a "insert car here" bullshit. I once told a story that summed this up..... [So, last thursday there was an unusual amount of people hanging out with modified cars. So I pulled into one of the local spots practically unnoticed..got out of my car..and walked up to the group and just listened for a bit. Well, there was a guy there talking alll kinds of shit about SRT-4s. Saying they're "gay", "for fags", and that "they're just neons." So I listened to him talk a bit more to try to get more information. After another 5 minutes of him spouting off stupidity about how SRT-4s are slow neons..I notice him lean on a volkswagen golf GTI..I believe it was a 1.8t. So, I said to him "Is that your golf?" And he replied "Yes, it is." It looked stock to me..so I decided to humour myself and ask him what he had done to it. He shyed away from the question. So then he asked me what I drive. So I said "I drive a bonestock dodge neon." He made a face that to me signified disgust. So I said "Would you like to race it?" and he said "I was just about to ask you the samething." So we walk over to my car and he says "Hey! That's not a neon, that's an SRT-4!"] street_racer_00 10-26-2005, 04:52 AM ^hahaha...good story! clawhammer 10-26-2005, 07:45 AM I once told a story that summed this up.....

JekylandHyde 10-26-2005, 01:00 PM Probe SE is still ... ... in my way, move already. :D drftk1d 10-26-2005, 02:02 PM i think the impreza/wrx difference and the lancer/evo difference is on a whole different level than neon/srt4 -The Stig- 10-26-2005, 02:09 PM Ehh, I dunno. The biggest one to have a change would be the Lancer/EVO. The Lancer is a FWD shitbox stock, but becomes a 4WD turbo monster in EVO form. Neither the Impreza nor the Neon go through a drivetrain change to become their alteregos. drftk1d 10-26-2005, 02:14 PM but thats not the only change you have to think bigger the wrx isnt just a impreza with a turbo engine seems to me like the neon is, with some factory aftermarket suspension and other go fast parts (feel FREE to correct me if i'm wrong). CassiesMan 10-26-2005, 02:39 PM Wow I drive a civic. I am the lowest form of the food chain. Its like saying SUP BITCH I'M MOTHER FUCKING PLANKTON AND SHIT!!!! Man, we're doing this for a money making player that aint with us no more... Yeah, Notorious BIG Hell nah. This is for a Gang banging thug who never saw it comin' Shit, Tupak Shukur! No! I'm talkin about Mother Fuckin Falco and Shit!

I will. All the mechanical bits are different as is the suspension. There aren't many parts that will interchange between the two. Especially the ACR version. chevytrucks92 10-26-2005, 05:41 PM Well, I'm with Mr. Lous on this topic. SS, SRT, SVT, etc., etc. etc. are all just option packages you select on a base vehicle. I'll even go to the extreme here and say my car, while completely modified, with the only stock parts being the body hull, is still just a Chevrolet Vega. drftk1d 10-26-2005, 06:13 PM I will.
