i think i know what car i want when i get out of school and am not such a broke ass.

SOOOOO nice :nut: as soon as you sit in the interior, everything is in the perfect location, boost guage is high on the dash, shifter is mounted perfect, the seats are BEAUTIFUL.

oh, and it is much faster than my parents auto jetta :(

Sport Compact Car magazine's sport compact of the year :clap:

I might've seen the same review Ekliptix did, where they claim it out-accelerates a 350z.

Did you see/hear that Nissan vid w/ the 350Z

That sounded so amazing

I read about that vid a few months ago in a mag. A little disappointed with it, but still impressive :burnout:

How much is an SRT-4 going for in CDN$??

19,9XX us, probably about 27,000 canadian.

i test drove one, the wing kinda cuts ur vision though......i love the stock exhaust sound though, very sexy and lots of power for the sticker price! cool domestic!

dealer sales guy told me the exhaust was put at max legal dBA which is like 95 dBA for the states, dunno bout canada

and greddy exhauts r around 94 dBA :nut: :love:

i drove the srt-4 with stage 1 upgrade earlier today, and all i can say is WOW! i like it! smooth power... torquey. those seats are great, the shifter if awsome.... i want one now! :clap: :bigpimp:


the funny part is, when you pull up to anyone, they just look at you like yah ok its a yellow neon :zzz: until you lay the smack down :rofl:

ps: yes i am in calgary!

i thought i saw one on the road yesterday, but i wasn't 100% sure. the wings dont come on the regular sx's right? or do they? because it was a yellow one, with the srt-4 wing, so i am guessing it was an srt4

Like the ITR the wing has been engineered for road racing along with the exhaust.

Where did you see the car?

I was cruising in the car for a bit in the N.E last night.

Was it brought up from the US?

As the 2004 Model is not available for Canada yet (very soon with some cool goodies added that his years model doesn't have).

Stage 2 hasn't been released yet.

a guy from performance shop is in town with his yellow srt4.

i agree the spoiler doesn't suit the car, and the exhaust has WAY to many bends, nothing 3 inch exhaust couldn't solve ;)

Keep saying that to yourself as it smokes your modded Honda.


Yeah the car is impressively quick, and it pulls off the line hard. Having a stock car break the tires loose halfway through first gear when full boost hits is impressive. Dodge definetly did there homework with this car.

When we were cruising later on Saturday night (in the SRT-4), we tried from downtown all the way to the NW, to race a Mazdaspeed Protege, orange Carbon Fibre hood...... Absolutely would not race:banghead: Then again this car isn't much of a match for imports:D

Yeah and technically the Neon doesn't exist in Canada anymore, it's called the SX 2.0, yet in the USA, it's still called the Neon. So? The SRT-4 is a Neon, a very fast Neon.

It's not an "SX" or a "Neon". It's official name is just the "Dodge SRT-4".

Where are you guys test driving these SRT4's? Do all the Dodge dealers have them in stock yet? I was at Varsity recently but didn't see any at all. I've been wanting to try one out ever since last year. And what's the deal with these stage upgrades? Are they ordered and dealer installed before you take delivery? I've heard that the hp ratings were underrated much like the Camaro LS1's were. Looks like the imports will have to play some serious catch up if they want to compete at that price category.
