SRT-4 Replacement ?????

Option 1
















The Dodge Razor MAY be produced. It's hard to tell. Dieter Zetsche is equivocating in public...the rumor mills keep generating new gossip. Earliest start date is expected to be calendar year 2006.

Hard core muscle enthusiasts can relax - it might not have a V8, but it doesn't need one. The rear wheel drive Dodge Razor hits 60 mph in under six seconds, goes faster than 140 miles per hour, and has a six-speed manual. The 2.4 liter turbo engine, also used in the Neon SRT-4 - which is equally fast - motorvates this new concept car, but probably will not make it into the production version, if there is one. Instead, the similarly powered turbocharged 2.4 liter world engine would be used.

The targeted price is an amazing $14,500. With inflation, that would most likely end up as $18,000 by 2006


Option 2
0-100 in 6.2 seconds? 0-60 in 2.9? Quarter mile of 10.6 @ 136 mph? So far, so good!

Chrysler ME412 status updated August 23, 2005 - see below.

The Caliber is the replacement for the Neon. Now that the Neon is out of production, the SRT-4 is too, until they get a new platform to build it off of. I doubt they'll use the Calibur, since it looks like a little SUV.

some of you could not see pics so here they are.

I know the caliber will replace the neon for production, but the SUV is not a compact and has very little appeal to tuners,
