Bye bye Cougar...hello SRT-4! *Pic tures.

First off I love my Cougar, but after $450 of tuning up, it's one thing after the next as far as maintenance. I know it's just trading one set of problems for the next, but at least this set of problems is under 40k miles and dealer warranty. I can honestly say I miss the corner already, but the straight line power, and it being my first turbo car, I nearly shat myself! Apparently it's not stock either...from what I can tell, 3in exhaust, AEM intake, cold side pipe w/ I'm guessing a Mopar BOV, I'm gonna take it to someone I know who knows a boat loud bout SRT-4's to let me know what's been done to it.

Thanks :D - I love the sound...exhaust sounds mean as hell, with that blub blub blubidiydy....blub sound. The interior isn't that bad, very plain, but from my point of view, very NEW & CLEAN! Seems more...simple than the Cougar's interior, after all isn't it the same interior as a Neon?

Re: Bye bye Cougar...hello SRT-4! *Pic tures.

Congrats...It's really not bad... kept rather tasteful...

Like I always say... my only gripe with the SRT-4 and the entire Neon line is the extremely poor crash test ratings. For a vehicle with the power it has, it needs some safety built into it.
