The Dodge Neon SRT-4, produced from 2003 to 2005, was a high-performance variant of the second-generation Dodge Neon. This compact car was a technological and performance leap forward for the Neon lineup, aiming to compete with other sport compacts like the Honda Civic Si and the Subaru Impreza WRX. The SRT-4 was powered by a turbocharged 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, making 215 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque. This engine, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, propelled the car to a 0-60 mph time of around 6 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars in its class. The SRT-4 also featured unique styling, including a wider body, a functional rear spoiler, and aggressive front and rear bumpers. Interior enhancements included a sport steering wheel, sport seats with aggressive bolstering, and a high-performance gauge cluster.
The SRT-4’s performance wasn't limited to straight-line speed, however. It boasted a well-tuned suspension, offering a balance between handling and ride comfort. The car also featured increased braking power with larger disc brakes all around, contributing to its overall driving experience. However, the SRT-4 wasn't without its challenges. The turbocharger, while providing significant power, required careful maintenance. The car's handling, while impressive for the time, could be understeer-prone in some conditions. Despite its shortcomings, the Dodge Neon SRT-4 quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts for its affordability, accessibility, and performance. It cemented its place in automotive history as a compelling and memorable hot hatch, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of performance cars.
