I bought one of these brand new in 2004. It was definitely the best performance car for $20k. The wrx and evo were way more expensive, and this was faster (except for launch). Everyone hated on these so much, but the thing is back then, everyone had turbo civics and integras, so dodge gave us what we wanted from the factory, very underrated car.

I had a lightly-modified 2004. That car hurt a lot of feelings. They weigh 2900-3000 lbs, not 3100. They were officially said to have 230hp (crank), but I knew that was BS the first time I drove one. Dyno testing back when they came out proved that the SRT-4 made 220-230hp at the wheels, stock. That means they really put out about 260-265 at the crank. The 1/4 mile times and trap speeds back that up.

Fun facts.... 1) 2003-4 didn’t have the word “Neon” attached /listed /associated anywhere. 2) For 2005 DCX Monroney Stickered the car as a “Neon SRT-4” - no real clear reason why, though some postulate it was for platform homologation to comply with “some” Federal regulation(s). 3) 2003 models had smaller fuel system components, an open diff, and an official 215hp rating. 4) 2004-5 models got upgraded fueling, upgraded factory power rating of 230hp / 250tq, and a Quaife mechanical limited slip diff. (though all three MYs made approximately the same power on chassis dynos. 5) Factory power ratings were grossly underrated, as most cars made more than rated crank HP & Tq figures on a chassis dyno. 6) The NV T850 transaxle used *equal length halfshafts* (mitigating torque steer), and was adapted from / filled with medium-heavy duty truck trans hard parts. 7) Despite the Quaife ATB diff and equal H/S’, the car does *TRAMLINE* under power quite a bit (especially high-HP examples); which many people confuse with Torque Steer. *There IS a difference* in the two phenomena. 8) Only options available were airbag equipped seats, sunroof, and a Kicker audio package. 9) Standard configuration came with *very aggressively* bolstered “Viper” seats. 10) Most units in standard configuration had a fully-fueled curb weight of around 2900lbs. (my personal car weighed exactly 2888) 11) 2005 saw limited runs of an ACR version (with BBS wheels), and a “Commemorative Edition” to match that year’s Viper in white w/ blue stripes. 12) MOPAR released several “upgrades” to the platform, including KW adjustable coilovers, exhaust and “Staged” powertrain kits 1-3. (S3 cars running in “High-Octane Mode” with race fuel a/o methanol, regularly pushed the 400whp mark)

Call it what you want but the reason is because its full name is. dodge srt4. Thats it. That is the official name of this car DODGE SRT4. Thats why we call it just the srt4 because thats is the name DODGE gave it. Neon is not included offically anywhere in the naming of this car. It was team srt first car and they were very proud of it. They had every right to be proud of it. If this car did not share the neon platform it would have been a legend.Call it what you want but the reason is because its full name is. dodge srt4. Thats it.

What im tryin to understand is how is he only make 460 to crank and 390 to the wheels with those mods. My brother had an 03 srt-4 he got it not long after they started selling them and he only had a almost full bolt on with stock fuel system and after we put on his manual boost controller he turned it up to make the factory turbocharger which is only a small t3/t4 if im not mistaken but anyway we maxed the turbo out until we heard turbo surge and turned it back down maybe 2 or 3 psi so we were running roughly 25 give or take a psi because boost creep. Anyway we put it on a dyno and tuned it with bolt-ons and a maced out stock turbo and made 386whp with a stock (Neon) Srt-4 thats what the title said anyway Lol. so it's a neon on steroids in my eyes. And no im not hating I love the srt-4 myself just dont know how this one is not making more power with those kind of mods?

@timothytraxler6289

That's a possibility. What type of gas is this one tuned on? Because we were tuned and dyno on 93 pump gas also. we were worried about trying any race fuels we were thinking about putting vp100 and then dyno it to see what it would make but since we were still running a completely stock fuel system and just some minor bolt-ons at the time we decided it probably wouldn't be a good idea since it was his only car and didnt want to risk it. I can say the stock clutch didnt last long after that dyno and tune not sure what they are rated at for max hp that they can handle but I know it hated the high 300's Lol.

In reality, the SRT 4 actually dynoed back in the day, full stock, at 228 at the wheels...just two hp shy of advertised crank hp. That would equate to about 270 to 280 crank hp. I have to think they gave it the lower rating strictly for insurance purposes...

If you don't know anything about the years when tunning and mods was all you could do to get cars to produce horse power shut up. Cars back then were not like today's cars with all that factory horse power. Back then the tunning culture was at it's peak. This car is absolutely an icon from those days. Yes, they absolutely messed up by not making it AWD or rear wheel drive but this car is absolutely part of a great moment from the tunning and mods history. Yes it had reliability issues but this car was about creating a base for tunners at a better price. Next time you think about disrespecting Dodge, think about where they are right now. An affordable 700+hp daily driver with useable rear seat? Yes that's where they are today.

Pretty cool car , even stock and you don’t see a lot of them. As far as suggestions for cars to review. How about a 2012 or 2013 Boss 302. I’ve been watching them and they ‘re coming down in price I have seen them as low as $25,000 ,also most of them have low miles. I think it’s a good car to consider for someone who wants a fun car that will be a future collectible.
