auxilary Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 http://www.allpar.com/model/concepts/dodge-razor.html looks like they might bring back the razor prototype, this time with the 2.4L srt-4 engine. for under 15k you get a 2500lb 6 speed rwd sport coupe. I said I swore off all chrysler products... but damn.... I might have to swallow my pride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 If they sell that car, I will have a very hard time not buying one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phailure Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 GM was supposed to come out with car like that....ie. Fast, cheap, rwd, barebones car http://www.autointell.net/nao_companies/general_motors/pontiac/pontiac-solstice/pontiac-solstice-02.htm and http://motortrend.com/future/concepts/112_0403_conceptpon/ Course... hasnt come around yet.

Dan Juday Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I see a lot of the 1st gen Corvette in the Dodge Razor. Anybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Looks like more of a penny racer 350z I think, but I am happy at least at the thought of Dodge putting that Neon driveline in RWD fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yah.. something about that says "dodge was looking over the Nissan fence" for some styleing cues.. Kind of cool though all the same.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2slo4u Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yeah, with Daimler on board I guess they can get away with all kinds of styling changes. Amazing how much like the 350z in the front. Still wouldn't want one though. I value my safety and don't want any wheels or important parts of the chassis falling off at 140mph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 *shrug* my neon has hit 134-135mph before, holds up just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurae10 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 personally I think it looks but ugly, and I wouldn't say much for the neon engine, mines blown up twice...have to part it out now... good news is i get to search for a Z now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I see a lot of the 1st gen Corvette in the Dodge Razor. Anybody else? Yeah and a lot of Audi too! I still think its ugly as all hell though! I would rather drive a FWD Neon! personally I think it looks but ugly, and I wouldn't say much for the neon engine, mines blown up twice...have to part it out now... good news is i get to search for a Z now The 2.4L turbo, is not the same as the regular Neon engine. Yes the regular 2.0 SOHC/DOHC are know to be POS's. Headgaskets mostly. The 2.4L however was build for upgrades. I dont think I would ever buy one but you sure do get your moneys worth. I would like my GF to get one.......then I can upgrade it and she can have the payments! LOL Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you parting out, because I'm interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 This is amazing...2500lbs, comes with no power accessories and racing seats/harnesses. The only thing that would stop be from buying one (besides my evergrowing z-only stable) is the fact that it's made by dodge. But it does seem MUCH more in the spirit of the 240z than the 350z does (no offense to the 350z guys, those are great cars on their own merit.) Unbelievable.

Tim240z Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 What is curious to me is that they are leaving out all the accessories, like stereo etc to save $$, but then they have the thing rolling on huge wheels....which are just unnecessary and look silly on such a small car.....

Guest Phailure Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yeh... Didnt that article say 20" rims in the back? Thats alittle too big for me... They could probably save some more money if they didnt spend ridiculous amounts of money on huge rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Front wheels: 19" x 7"Rear wheels: 20" x 7" Yeah...17" rims would be more than adequate, and likely less than 1/2 the cost. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26240Z Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Guys, I would wait till the "recall clear" sign is visible before plans to purchase one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I'm old, and you know how cranky us old farts are . I think its an ugly little golbual shaped car. but then I''m feel almost the same about the Audi. that Lexus thing. and the 350. I mean they all look as if they are all the same. Kinda lemming mobiles. No, I dont dislike all the new cars, just the shapless round ones. No the Cadillac XLR that's another story. Even the Crossfire has a couple of edges. I see a lot of the 1st gen Corvette in the Dodge Razor. Anybody else? Actually I think the new T-Bird looks more like a '53-'54 Vette than it does a Bird. If ther is anyone here that I haven't offended. just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannji Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I think I would like the Solstice body better than that dodge, but it certainly is cool to see "American" companies starting to get a clue when it comes to modern sports cars. I have the solstice as my desktop background right now, and it has really grown on me.... but I doubt I would get one until they have depreciated significantly. However, like someone else said, My girlfriend likes it too.... and it only has to transport a couple of our daycare kids and we can write it off at the end of the year....
