There is now a Caliber SRT-4.

RE: new srt 4 - 4/21/2008 4:01:50 AM    AWH Posts: 110 Joined: 3/13/2008 Status: offline Go to www.drivesrt.com or just google Caliber SRT-4.  It is with the new aluminum block "World Engine", still 2.4L turbo (03-05 were cast iron). 300HP, 260 lb. ft., 6-speed, 19" rims. Not bad, but I like the style of the Neon SRT-4 better. Plus I've heard it's still not any faster. The tranny is better though. Just my 2 cents. _____________________________ - 2003 SRT-4, SILVER - 100K MILES! - CURRENT MODS: MOPAR CAI, MOPAR CAT-BACK EXHAUST, MOPAR STS, MOPAR PERFORMANCE CLUTCH, NGK IRIDIUM IX PLUGS, GRANATELLI MS 0-OHM WIRES, CUSTOM STEREO - MODS COMING SOON: MOPAR STAGE 1, AGP WASTEGATE, MPx THROTTLE B (in reply to Midnight) Post #: 3

The look is better for a Neon, and can't seem to get used to the Caliber...sort of looks like a Chevy Aztec from the past. But I love my SRT-4 Neon!!! The Few, the Proud, Stock for Stock..fast!!!!

Haha yeah I agree, the Caliber doesn't do it for me either. The Avenger/Sebring would be a better choice maybe they will make one in the future, or perhaps a Nitro SRT-4 might be pretty cool, but the Nitro would likely be a 6 or even 8 cyl. Sad to say but the new Chevy Cobalt SS turbo is lookin' pretty good nowadays. Oh well, guess my next car will have to be the Challenger or Grand Cherokee, SRT-8 of course. BTW wasn't the Aztec made by Pontiac? _____________________________ - 2003 SRT-4, SILVER - 100K MILES! - CURRENT MODS: MOPAR CAI, MOPAR CAT-BACK EXHAUST, MOPAR STS, MOPAR PERFORMANCE CLUTCH, NGK IRIDIUM IX PLUGS, GRANATELLI MS 0-OHM WIRES, CUSTOM STEREO - MODS COMING SOON: MOPAR STAGE 1, AGP WASTEGATE, MPx THROTTLE B (in reply to srt4rez) Post #: 6

RE: new srt 4 - 5/16/2008 12:59:09 AM    posthondaremoval Posts: 1740 Joined: 6/1/2004 From: Phila, PA Status: offline 11 years isnt too bad a run for a primarily unchanged body style.  There are few cars that last longer in any form...911 for example(german cars seem to like "evolving" slowly) would be one.  But our little Neon did come out in 95.  It had a then impressive base 132 horsepower, trumping civics easily, and also offered a 150 hp on their sport coupe.  It replaced the shadow(thank goodness).  I will add my .02 though and say I was at the dealership checking otu a 05 srt-4 and when they tried convincing me to drive the caliber srt-4 I didn't even have the slightest desire to get behind the wheel.  It looks like someone previously stated a chopped up aztec.  Cool features and nice engine(sans the aluminum block - pooh on dodge for dropping the iron) but upright stance and ride position and , well, it's just contrary to what i would want in a fwd musclecar. _____________________________ (in reply to VTSRT4) Post #: 11
