+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted September 29, 2016 Subscriber² Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'd be impressed with 146 miles on a flat desert road, much less Maine. Too bad he's 18 and, now, ######ed. I would say that not having the insurance is bad, but at 146 mph, insurance isn't going to do much if you hit something and spray your body out of the car.

Astra.Xtreme Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Surprised that a riced up Dodge "it's still a Neon" could actually go that fast. T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an srt4, they are rated for 153. The bigger question is how many miles it took to reach the speed he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger question is how many miles it took to reach the speed he did. Obviously it's an SRT4, hence why I said "it's still a Neon". Take a Neon, throw in a turbo and loud exhaust, and there you go. More so surprised that the top speed isn't governed since it's a cheap car designed for kids that will do reckless things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockz Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Surprised that SRT hasn't suffered from the dreaded oil sludge issues that killed most of them. Wonder how many times that engine was rebuilt. Astra.Xtreme 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my college days when they were still being sold new, two friends picked the SRT-4 up and within 80,000 miles they had coolant leak into the oil causing all sorts of sludge issues. The one still has his, but seems to be broken down more often than not... granted it's over 11 years old now. Still not as bad as the 2.7L v6 in the Status and Sebring with their sludge issues, probably one of the worst engines ever. adrynalyne 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
