The Dodge Neon SRT-4, produced from 2003 to 2005, was a high-performance variant of the second-generation Dodge Neon compact car. This model was a significant departure from the standard Neon, boasting a powerful turbocharged engine, sporty handling, and aggressive styling. Powering the SRT-4 was a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing a remarkable 215 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque. This engine, coupled with a five-speed manual transmission, propelled the Neon SRT-4 to 60 mph in a respectable 5.9 seconds. The SRT-4 also featured a sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes, and unique 17-inch alloy wheels for enhanced handling and performance. To distinguish it from the standard Neon, the SRT-4 received distinct styling cues, including a more aggressive front fascia with a large air intake, a rear spoiler, and unique side skirts. Interior upgrades included sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and SRT-4-specific gauges.
The Dodge Neon SRT-4 was a highly popular and sought-after performance car, known for its impressive power-to-weight ratio and relatively affordable price point. While the Neon SRT-4 was initially targeted at budget-minded performance enthusiasts, it quickly developed a cult following and became a favorite among drag racers and autocross competitors. The car's affordability, accessibility, and aftermarket potential made it a popular choice for tuning and modification, further enhancing its performance and appeal. However, the Neon SRT-4's production run was short-lived, ending in 2005 due to Chrysler's focus on other models.
