ive heard and know a few people that have owned one, this dude i know actually had 2, both crapped out and needed a COMPLETE engine rebuild before 60k mi, the main thing that people say is that the trimming belt for the turbocharger fails, it is supposed to be changed at 60k, but if its supposed to be changed at 60k then why do all these engines fail at 45-50k? i really dont have the answer.
obviously a completely stock car will last longer then a modified one and if u keep up on maintanence then im sure it can last for 125-150k miles, but the problem is i can almost guarentee that even if the engine is stock then it WILL have been beaten on anyway.
also just as important (to me) the interior is just designed horriblely, the regular neon was bad enough but the SRT-4 basically removes any comforts that the regular neon offered.
but is is your choice bro im not gonna make it for u lol, who knows, maybe u'll love it :lol:
