	Cars - Dodge SRT-4

: The Dodge SRT-4 was a turbocharged compact car introduced by DaimlerChrysler's Street and Racing Technology in-house tuner group in 2003. ACR and Commemorative Edition models were later introduced as well. The SRT-4 was designed for the racing and muscle car crowd.

The SRT-4 differed from a regular Neon, the model on which it was based, in many ways. From the outside, the SRT-4's unique front fascia was immediately noticeable. It also featured a large rear wing and special 17x6 in wheels.

Under the hood was a turbocharged version of the Neon's 2.4 L I4 engine. This first appeared in the United States in the 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT, but had been used in the Mexican-market Dodge Stratus/Chrysler Cirrus LXi sedan for a few years before this. The SRT-4 used a New Venture Gear T-850 5-speed manual transmission, equal-length half shafts, and a high-capacity Sachs performance clutch. The suspension used stiffer springs, special Tokico struts, larger sway bars front and rear, firmer bushings, an upgraded steering rack from the PT Cruiser GT, upgraded knuckles, and a unique K-member. 11.0 in (279 mm) vented disc brakes were used in front, with 10.6 in (270 mm) non-vented discs in the rear.

Inside, the front seats featured enhanced lumbar and lateral support for performance driving, and a faux carbon fiber steering wheel and satin silver "cue ball" shift knob were used. The gauges had special SRT faces and silver rings matching those on the climate controls. An Auto Meter boost gauge was used as well.

The 2004 model was updated with more power and torque, a torque-sensing Quaife limited-slip differential, BF Goodrich KDW2 three-season tires, and paint and trim changes. 2005 also featured new colors, but the important news was the return of the American Club Racing (ACR) edition. This package included wider BBS RX wheels and tires, 5-way adjustable Tokico Illumina shock absorbers, a stiffened suspension, and ACR logos. A 2005 SRT-4 Commemorative Edition was a numbered appearance package.
