Power, Output and Thrift: Powerful Trio
By Alisa Priddle
Maybe I'm just a cheap date.
Don't get me wrong — I love power. I love horsepower, especially when I can hear and feel it permeate the entire vehicle. Torque does it for me.
But I have a prudent side. And it was soundly trampled on by my fellow judges who refused to see the light when it comes to the Dodge SRT-4 and its wonderful, lively 2.4L turbocharged DOHC inline 4-cyl. engine.
This little baby thrilled me at all speeds and in all gears. Turn off the radio and sing along as the burble builds to a rumble and intersperses a few crescendos.
This is no ordinary Neon. It has horsepower: 230 at 5,300 rpm. It has torque: 250 lb.-ft. (339 Nm) in the 2,200-4,400 range. And, it has serious output: 96 hp/L for a vehicle that bases at $19,450. It delivers as much pleasure in city driving as running down the highway.
Sure, the numbers don't quite stack up against the cult-like Subaru WRX STi. That high-performance machine with the turbocharged horizontally opposed boxer 4-cyl. pumps out 103 hp/L. Its slightly larger 2.5L DOHC H-4 delivers 300 hp at 6,000 rpm and 300 lb.-ft. (235 Nm) of torque. Most impressive is the 120 hp/L and 120 lb.-ft. (163 Nm) of torque per liter.
But I can almost get a matching pair of Dodge SRT-4s for the $30,995 starting price of the Subie.
Dodge deserves bonus marks for offering so much bang for the buck — and encasing it in a killer package that is within reach of the modest-income buyer.
It's much more than a tuner car. It's my dream date: powerful yet frugal, but definitely fun.

The SRT is no more bang for buck than its competitors. The Spec V, Mazdaspeed, SVT Focus, Ralliart, & Cooper S. Dodge Focused on Power. Everyone else focused on power and handling. If drag racing is your idea of performance then the SRT rules, just like the Pontiac Trans AM WS6, Z28, & Mustang GT.

As far as stock goes, did you see what the srt-4 placed in the One Lap of America?

Read all the fun here.
. That's good stuff but doesn't change my opinion. Did it place 8th overall or just on the oval track? How much did these modifications cost the owner of this 500hp Neon?
Those are very impressive numbers but I think the spraying of Nitrous Oxide on the intercooler during the run should be mentioned. Not trying to take anything away from the numbers, but I still think it needs to be said. Also he needs to upgrade the axle on that thing before taking it to the track, other srt-4's have snapped it with less tq. Still an impressive car though.
