^ True. Although I'd say most stock SRT4s are in the 14.2 range. Pretty close to a stock 350.

 

^^Yes, it would pretty much be a drive's race, although an srt-4 with stage 2 would rape a 350z

 

By using (most) of these cold air intakes.. you loose your "Mass air-flow sensor" which is right inline of your stock airbox.. that helps the computer run properly.. without that.. you dont get better fuel economy. Only the good ones have a hole to mount the sensor.. I'm guessing that $80 doesn't.

 

^^So make sure you make a hole and it's fit properly and ur set...

 

my car does not have a MAF (2001 grand am 2.4) [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

 

Mine car has a MFA sensor and a AIT sensor.

Mass air flow is on tube and AIT is on cone adapter plate.

All fit right in.

lucky you guys.. I put a cold air on my MX6.. and it always ran like ***..

I dont know if the fuel economy was worse... but I pulled it off in a jiffy. Shouldn't be too hard to retro-fit if you car does have one.. they add about 2-5 HP depending on the car (so I read) but where they really shine is when they're used in conjunction with a full exhaust and other things.

 

I am going to have to say that a Stage 2 350z would rape any stock Neon and I have no idea why your comparing a Neon to a 350z. Yeah maybe they are close in the 1.4 mile but it ends there. Quailty of a Neon isn't that great compared to a 350z. The only thing going for the SRT4 is that turbo, other then that, the car blows.

 

LOL to each their own. The 350Z is worth a lot more money than the STR-4 and they were only talking about the performance.

For the money, the STR 4 is hard to beat if you like the car.

I personally like it, which is why I have one also

There aren't all that many things the same as a Neon on an SRT 4 anyways. Different interior, different engine, turbo, different transmission, different suspension, different rims, tires etc.

Anyways, everyone has their opinions that's just mine.

Yes, owners of slower cars tend to resort to comments like "oh well, it's just a NEON" and "your interior sucks", and the infamous "But our resale value is way higher." but you know what, it's a neon that just smoked you, and for a heck of a lot less money. As far as resale value goes, no matter what car you buy, you are still losing 20% when you drive it off the lot. Who really thinks about what a car is going to be worth when they get tired of it and want to sell it. When I bought my neon (srt-4), I could have bought a 350z, but the money-performance ratio was not really that great. I knew what it was when I bought it, and I am not expecting anything else out of it. I do not like the way the 350z is styled, but when I bought my car, the style/color meant next to nothing to me. BUT I do however agree, the 350z has a way faster interior than the srt-4
