The 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4 is a hot hatch that stands as a testament to the performance potential of a humble compact car. This iteration of the Neon SRT4, produced from 2003 to 2005, was the second generation of the model and represented a significant leap forward from its predecessor. Built on the platform of the standard Neon, the SRT4's defining characteristic was its potent 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine, affectionately nicknamed the "turbo-four," produced an impressive 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, allowing the SRT4 to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds. Its aggressive styling, with its large rear spoiler, revised front bumper, and SRT4 badging, left no doubt about its performance intentions. The SRT4 also featured a unique suspension setup, upgraded brakes, and a six-speed manual transmission, enhancing its handling and braking capabilities.

While the SRT4 was known for its blistering acceleration and sporty handling, it was not without its compromises. The interior, though functional, was spartan and lacking in the premium touches found in its more expensive competitors. Additionally, the turbocharged engine, while powerful, was notorious for its thirst for fuel and its potential for reliability issues if not properly maintained. Nevertheless, the 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4 carved a unique niche for itself as an affordable and surprisingly capable performance car. It appealed to enthusiasts looking for a fun and engaging driving experience without breaking the bank. The SRT4 became a cult classic, beloved for its raw power, aggressive styling, and overall affordability. Today, the SRT4 is considered a collectible among performance car enthusiasts, with its value steadily increasing as time passes.
