• The Dodge SRT-4, with stands for "street and racing technology -- four cylinder," is a turbo version of the company's Neon sedan, made from 2003 to 2005. Though it mostly resembles the Neon, a sporty body kit, added lighting effects and a souped-up engine set this vehicle apart from its commuter car cousin.
  
  

Engine

• The SRT-4 is powered by a 2.4-liter, turbocharged, inter-cooled 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine with an iron block, aluminum head and port fuel injection. It is capable of 2,429 cc of displacement, with 250 lbs. per foot of torque at 2,200 rpm and 230 bhp of power at 5,300 rpm. It utilizes a five-speed manual transmission.
  
  The turbo compressor features a 87.5 mm bore and 101 mm stroke, with a compression ratio of 8.1, as well as a double overhead cam and four valves per cylinder.
  
  

In General

• The SRT-4 is a front-wheel drive, four-door sedan that seats five passengers. It measures (L/W/H) 174.4 by 67.4 by 56.0 inches and weighs 2,984 lbs, with a 12.4-gallon tank for unleaded fuel. It is capable of getting 22 miles per gallon in the city, 30 mpg on the highway.
