    SRT-4 is a performance platform that can apply to any type of car in the Chrysler lineup.

    Since the Neon is no longer made , there will be no Neon SRT-4s made either. ;)

    example, you can get an SRT-8 package on a 300c and a Challenger. I think the little convertable has it too.

    I had heard rumors about this being true, sad to see it go. As crumby as a car it might be, it still was a cheap dependable ride.

    204whp or not, it'll still sound like a dying moose when you slap a big exhaust on it.

    hehe, that made me laugh Trey.

    Actually, I've been thinking about Neon getting the axe, and I think I am actually kinda sad.

    It was a good rivalry, and its going to suck having only mitsu as competition. especially seeing as how mitsu is going under pretty badly. I know that mitsu japan will bail them out, but hopefully the EVO will not be a victim of their monetary problems.

    Competition is good. it drives us to do better. Oh well, hopefully they will come out with another SRT-4 in the future.

    well just watch out there will be new competition. Honda is really stepping there game up, chevy is attemtping and failing miserably, toyota is wanting to bring the supra back, and the Tc is supposed to be supercharged by the end of the year. Dodge will bring something back with all this other competition coming in.
