For around $3-4K an SRT-4 neon makes enough power to run 11's. Don't think it has a ton of tq, though.

But at the same time we aren't driving BMWs.

335 might not be as fast out of the box, and might not be as mod friendly as a 5.0, but a 5.0 isn't nearly as luxurious as a 335 either. It's a totally different car.

In a 4-cylinder? I was talking about a 4 cylinder...

As to comparing a mustang to a BMW, I might as well compare a 'vette to a mustang. Totally different vehicle.

Given your choices, I'd go with a 335i with the M package. All you need is a chip and you're good to go.

Actually SRT-4's are tq. monsters, my most aggresive tune on stock turbo I was at 400ft lbs tq. 330hp. These cars are cheap though and the transmission sucks I would never recommend it to anyone out of high school lol.
