The Dodge Neon SRT-4, a performance-oriented compact car, was a limited-production model that marked a significant departure from its standard Neon sibling. Introduced in 2003, the SRT-4, built upon the Chrysler PL platform, was a halo car for the Neon lineup and quickly garnered a cult following for its potent performance and affordability. Engineered with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, the SRT-4 produced an impressive 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the fastest cars in its class. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, the SRT-4 could sprint from 0 to 60 mph in the low 5-second range, making it a serious contender on the track. Further enhancing its performance credentials, the SRT-4 received a comprehensive set of performance upgrades, including a larger intercooler, a revised suspension with stiffer springs and shock absorbers, and larger brakes for improved handling and stopping power. Visually, the SRT-4 was distinguished by its aggressive bodywork, including a larger front bumper with a lower air dam, unique side skirts, and a rear spoiler, all contributing to improved aerodynamics and a distinctly sporty aesthetic.

Beyond its performance capabilities, the Dodge Neon SRT-4 provided a surprisingly comfortable and practical package for daily driving. The cabin, though relatively spartan, offered a well-designed dashboard with clear instrumentation, comfortable seats, and a decent amount of interior space for both driver and passenger. While not the most luxurious, the interior was surprisingly functional and practical, making it a versatile car for daily commutes or weekend road trips. While the SRT-4 was initially well-received, its production run was relatively short, ending in 2005. This, combined with its impressive performance and affordability, led to its status as a sought-after classic among performance car enthusiasts. Despite its limited production, the Dodge Neon SRT-4 remains a significant model in Dodge's history, showcasing the brand's commitment to performance and proving that thrills can be delivered in a compact package at an accessible price point.
