Modern Performance SRT-4 turns 1:57.8 at UTCC

Quite a performance.

Holy poo!! I'm not worthy!

That is damn fast.

That's just silly.

Looks like a drag car that doesn't fall apart in the corners. Sure makes the straights look short.

That's one of the faster 40-170 sprints I've ever seen out of a "street" car.

Torque steer at 1:35 looked TERRIFYING.

Ultimate Torque Steer Challenge.

^^fast hands, strong axles.

I doubt I'd have the balls to pull that off even if I had the skill. Well done.

Very impressive. Surprised to see stock RPM with that much power! Gotta research the suspension setup...

wow …

Say what you will about FWD but holy hell this is just insane!! Always love seeing this car putting up good times.

The bit at about 2:30 is what got me.

Definitely showing this to co-workers tomorrow.

But its just a Neon.

Now think of this power train in a mid engine car that weighs about half the neon.

Oddly, the 1st gens might have actually been better handling cars than their contemporaries and even the subsequent generations, but the build quality suffered and the power wasn't anywhere near the insanity that the SRT-4 provided.

Also you'll be at stock power levels (at first, heh), but it will still be an e-ticket ride for sure! Can't wait to see it out and running!

Holy crap that was impressive!

In reply to turboswede:

If I don't die I'll call up modern performance and turn up the wick.

The part at about the 2:30 mark is nuts. Look at the speed and he is fighting torque steer. That dude needs a wheelbarrow to carry around his set. Dam impressive.

Still doesn't have power dear windows.

Fast as berkeley though.

Now there's a thought - do you think an 818 frame could be modified to fit?

Jesus. How much power is this thing making?
