Evo 8 or srt-4 ?
i would just be patient while saving money. i waited and waited and finally found a cheap evo 8 in my city. i purchased my '05 for 19k before taxes at a cadillac dealership( dont think i spelled that right haha). you just need to wait because others ones have been for 24k+ for 03's
IMO, the EVO is hands down a better overall car. Make sure you have somebody who is qualified to check it out before buying it. There are some good ones out there and some very bad ones that have been beat to death. I have two kids that I haul around. FWIW, I would trust this car's chassis more than I would the Neon if I were to get in a wreck.

Yes, my friend. Even those cars that you are talking about clearly don't continue at the same rate of acceleration, but those cars that still accelerate like missiles are sports cars/supercars that cost MUCH more.

I'm sorry my friend....no matter what condition your car is in, I would never pay more that(if even) 20k for your car (or any evo like that)....not just the high milage(almost 50k), but it's also an 03.....no hard feelings, everyone wishes to get the most out of their cars when they sell them, depreciation sucks ***

I Think That The Srt4 Is A Pile But For The Right Reasons, Do They Give You Brembo Brakes? Recaro Racing Seats? Just That In Itself Is A Few Grand...
We Can All Say This Is Quick And That Is Quick But Alot Of It Comes From The Driver. When I Had My 03 I Was Never Close To Losing In My Car, I Had My Launching Down Perfect For The Street. I Do Agree That It's A Decent Car For The Money However Once You Step Up Into The Power That Car Really Starts To Fall On Its Face....
Look At Ams's Neon They Built, I Think The Fastest They Had That Car Was In The Mid 10's, Don't Get Me Wrong It's A Quick Car But Most People Do Not Do The Amount Of Work It Takes To Get That Car Into The Mid 10's Nor Do You See Many Neons Will Full Slicks Running The Roads, I Would Take An Evo Any Day Of The Week Due To It's A Full Race Car, It's More Comfortable, But It's A Race Car.....
My Car With Ams's Stage 3 Vs A Neon Stage 3 And The Neon Could Not Keep Up And This Is A Race With My Uncles Friend Who Is A Very Good Driver.... The Acceleration Off The Line On The Street Or Track Is In A Big Favor To The Evo!! Then You Take These Car To A Time Attack, Oh Lord, The Srt4 Has A Better Chance Of Just Staying Off The Track And Staying Out Of It's Own Way.
