Found this over at SRTforums. Evidently this guy in the Honduh claimed he could be an SRT-4 to 60 and recorded himself trying to do so...all the while, letting everyone know when the good 'ol "VTEC" kicked in! Seemed to help! HA!!! So an SRT owner decided to give it a try on the non-vtec SRT-4....this makes for quite a laugh! http://dvmix.com/data/VTECpowaVsSRT-4.wmv Some people crack me up!

Funny!! and ummm that was fast I think it was about 8 seconds to get to 60.

The SRT just ripped, though! I need one very badly....."VTEC!"

Funny ^^SRT-4's may be fast, but there's a major underlaying flaw in the car: It's still a Neon

yelling vtec that was funny

ROFL. The sarcasm is killing me! The kid in the Honduh must really be an idiot.

I don't understand what the deal is with people saying this. Has a the same body style as a neon, yes, but the rest, I feel is far from it. It obviously has the attention of all the other auto companies. You watch, this will be the car that starts the new muscle car era!

ha! the dude in the honda sounded like a real geek...that "neon" sounded bad (removed)!

i think people are jealous/emberrased that they can now be skunked by a "neon". i mean, really, it's not that ugly of a car!

All they did was different hood, spoiler, and dual exhaust. If you didn't like the way the regular ones look this shouldn't make you change your mind but hey I don't think they are being purchased for their LOOKS.

i meant that a neon isn't that ugly, i think it's now well established that they look the same...

And it's actually been dyno proven that Dodge is underrating the horsepower! I believe I read on the SRT forums that one actually dynoed 260 BONE STOCK! Not conerned with the looks. As long as it has a nice @ss when it flies by you to look at!

oh man, anybody got a napkin, my pants are moist....

I think the video is a fake. A stock civic dx can do 0-60 in 8seconds. So if he really had a k20 in there, he would have done much better.

uh, look at the tach...and where did you get the 8 secs.? K20A3 is in the RSX and 2002+ Civic Si, the K20A2 is in the RSX-S. The tach and the shift point he shifted at seem to be a base RSX or Si. I just think he was tool...even if it would have been the Type S, no way he was gonna hang. And after driving my business partner's Type S several times, the iVTEC doesn't hit NEAR as hard as our lift does. Although, it is easier to land in the sweet spot, it isn't gonna take a SRT...I guess I don't see how it could be fake...what would be the reasoning and why?

oh, its real! that V-BLECK is no match for the "neon"(i love calling it a "neon" for all the haters)

Quote, originally posted by savedbyzero »uh, look at the tach...and where did you get the 8 secs.? OK, I said it wrong. I'm didn't mean to say that the civic doesn't really have the k20 in it. I'm just saying that if I were driving a civic with a k20, it would have been a faster run. I got the eight seconds from the combination of a watch and the video. And my stock '95 Civic DX does 0 - 60 in about 8 seconds.

All I know for a fact is that the RSX-S I've driven/driven against isn't much faster up 60 than the GT/XRS. And I've WALKED a base RSX...
