2003 Dodge NEON SRT-4
"The Neon SRT-4 rips to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, to 100 in 13.8, covers a quarter-mile in 14.2 seconds at 102 mph, and keeps on huffin' all the way to 153 mph.
It's equally clear that this particular Neon can run with bigger dogs. Subie's precocious Impreza WRX, for example, and even pricey sports sedans such as the Audi A4 and BMW 330i.
2.4-liter SOHC 16-valve four enough to raise its output from 150 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque to 215 horsepower and 245 pound-feet. Those are both pretty hefty numbers for a modest long-stroke four-banger — the same engine used in the Chrysler PT Cruiser — but it's the torque that really gets the SRT-4 out of the starting blocks, with a nice flat curve that peaks early and stays peaked for a long time. And thanks to a small turbine gallery, maximum boost — between 11 and 14 psi, depending on conditions — comes up quickly. That's the same boost and output as the PT Cruiser GT's turbo engine, by the way. But hitched to a car that weighs in some 500 pounds lighter than the GT, and allied with a manual transmission, it produces more dramatic test results. "

If legendboy isn't able to build my turbo kit, I might pick one up. I actually NEED something a little more practical

Depending on price, I would have seriously considered it if it was out while I was car-shopping in the summer,

I guess its not bad overall. I would never buy one though.

Why does everyone keep calling it a SOHC motor? It's DOHC.
You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

Everyone thinks it's the magnum engine.. or no one bothers to read the real stats.
Sadly the ACR gear heads have moved up to the Viper team
Can't wait next year when they dominate the Rally series!

I don't think that spoiler is too bad. Looks only about mid-wing size.
I do however think they should paint their side-mirrors. I hate it when they arne't painted!

ya even if everyone hates it, the fact is, with a car this high performence and low price (cheaper than wrx) it will get its own attention..Originally posted by szw

It's because of that C&D typo. Also, the S and D key are right next to each other.Originally posted by 5.9 R/T

The one major thing I really don't like about it is the fact they have only 4 colors and I don't like any of them.
At least the WRX and RSX have blue .
How could they forget blue ?
Plus it's 4 doors
Choices:
1. Buy SRT-4 and have it repainted blue.
2. Or keep the nice, 2-door blue car I have and get a Hahn Racecraft Stage 2 turbo kit installed.

AAHAHAHAHAHAHA...It's not as if current neon owners can just roll into the dealership and trade in thier current neon...96's go for like 4-5 grand...lucky to get 3500 on trade...I've seen 2000's going for 8-9g...
people bought neons cause they were a realativly inexpensive and realatively reliable mode of transport...this new RT thing is double the price of what the ones go for now...
its going to appeal to an entirely new group, unfortunatly, its braun will be inhibited by its past image IMO...in due time...there was once a time when people scoffed at the idea a VW could cost more than 30 grand...this was less than a decade ago...
