Turbalt or SRT4?

I've had my eyes set on getting a turbalt for awhile now, just been waiting for a good deal to pop up but I started wondering recently, why do I want a turbalt over a Neon SRT4? I can get a SRT4 for much cheaper and there is a much better selection on SRT4's up here. Thoughts?

Lets just say I traded in my SRT for my cobalt. Rather have the cobalt over a neon any day.

The Cobalt's built better, looks better imo, and handles much better. Cobalt isn't just a straight line car like the srt4

X2, had one a few years back. Nice car at the time but the SS/TC is a better car all around with more options ie.. traction control, bluetooth, dic, usb, XM, power rear windows, no lift shift, tire monitor system....

Well I noticed quite a few SRT4's people's sigs on here so that sparked my thinking.

I'm sorry, is turbalt not a "cool kid" term?

Damn that place is just full of haters, isn't it?

I'm looking for a decent DD that will get some bolts ons. Would like to keep it fairly reliable. Maybe a few track days (drags) but not its main purpose.

He said decent DD with a few bolts ons though. I don't know that a turbo swapped LSJ meets that.
