I just dropped off my car at the stealership body shop to get some accident damage repaired. when i got to enterprise, what should i see with a little e sticker on it, but a black SRT-D. naturally, that's the car i got. what i'm wondering is, were all of them automatics? this car has almost the exact mileage as my srt lol, i'm thinking about buying it from enterprise to use as a DD. I think my girlfriend's brother can get a hookup on price, since he's a manager.

i'm surprised i actually like the auto trans in this thing. the car is in pretty bad shape considering the mileage, but could probably be repaired for cheap. the 2 main problems are the MFS seems to have a problem, as you really have to pull the knob out to get the fogs to turn on, and if you floor it, it acts like a stick with a shot clutch, rpm's jump to redline before it downshifts.

All enterprise cars, or atleast the large majority of them are automatics.

There were SRT-d's with manuals. The SRT-d was just an appearance package. It had nothing to do with the transmission.

the enterprise near me had a black SRT-D also

All car rental places have only automatics. Here anyways. I like the SRT-D front.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 12:21 pm**

a base model neon with an srt style hood and bumpers, and an ugly duel tip exhaust.

i'm surprised you can tolerate, let alone have a decent opinion of it having an SRT...

Nice frog Mox

Mistake me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure a lot car rental places in Europe have cars with manual transmissions. I would think there would be a few manuals here too, but Europe is a completely different story as far as transmissions.

that's cause most american's are too lazy to use a standard transmission.

Yeah, it's true. I miss all the sticks in cars over there; autos are so boring. To get a license, in Belgium at least, you had to know how to drive one and take the drive test with one.

it costs about $80 a week extra to have an auto in the UK

How?

Very curious about this.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:12 pm**

how? because that is what the rental companies charge. automatics are almost never seen there. it also costs about $16 a day more to add a second driver. just got back from a trip over there.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:21 pm**

o, for a rental car.

i thought it was because of a tax or something.

With fuel prices mtx are more popular... alot more diesels over there too

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 11:45 pm**

i wish we had more diesel options here.

Yeah, I think I heard once that 70% of the cars are diesel in Europe. Or something pretty high like that.

don't flame me for this, but... turbo diesel neon? Dodge Neon TDI?

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:04 pm**

how about turbo bio-fuel (vege oil)

Edit: oh yeah, the SRT-D would get an srt turbo setup lol. i just like the auto trans.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:05 pm**

A diesel neon size car would be great. 150hp and 200ft-lbs of torque would be rediculously easy.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2007 11:26 pm**

I have a SRT-D with a MTX. The SRT-D body package is what the R/T should have been starting in 2003, only it needs the magnum engine too.

Back in 04 I did a SRT front end conversion to my 03 R/T because I disliked the Caravan nose that was on my Neon. I like my SRT-D
and it gets 35MPG which isn't bad with $3.00+ gas.

i'd do it if i could get another neon and a TDI

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2007 11:28 pm**

The SRT-D package was an option on the SXT . It had the SRT spoiler, SRT type nose, & a non-functioning SRT scoop. chargerse
