The 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 and its sibling, the Dodge PL SRT-4, were high-performance versions of the popular compact car, known for their aggressive styling and potent powertrains. The SRT-4 moniker, standing for Street and Racing Technology, signaled a shift in the Neon's identity from a budget-friendly commuter to a performance-oriented machine. Under the hood, the SRT-4 models were equipped with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, generating an impressive 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. This power was channeled through a five-speed manual transmission, sending the SRT-4 tearing towards a 60 mph time of just 5.6 seconds. Complementing the powertrain were sport-tuned suspension components, larger brakes, and distinctive exterior styling elements, including a prominent front spoiler, aggressive side skirts, and a rear diffuser. The 2005 Dodge PL SRT-4, a rarer variant often confused with the regular SRT-4, boasted a unique combination of features that set it apart. These features included a unique paint scheme, a larger turbocharger pushing out 230 horsepower, and a revised suspension setup that made the PL SRT-4 even more adept at handling. Despite its performance credentials, the SRT-4 was also surprisingly practical. It offered a roomy interior for four passengers and a decent cargo space, making it suitable for everyday driving as well as spirited track outings. The 2005 Dodge SRT-4 and its PL variant, though no longer in production, continue to be highly sought-after by enthusiasts for their combination of affordability, performance, and unique character. They remain a testament to the potential of a humble compact car to be transformed into a true performance machine.
