I bought a silver 2004 SRT-4 and it was one of the most fun and happy cars I’ve ever had. Even with Doug ragging on it like this, the car brings a smile to my face. Crazy fast (for the money) and that ‘cheap’ interior was straight forward and easy to live with. The bolstered seats were actually comfortable and the kicker stereo wasn’t bad. My neighbor at the time described it as a party on wheels, and that’s exactly what it was.

Hold up, Doug. In your summary, "it wasn't as fast as an Evo or STi". It was faster (trap speed, not ET). The SRT-4 consistently trapped as fast or faster than those cars in most car mags during its day, and when you looked at 0-130 mph numbers from magazines like C&D, you'd see the SRT-4 had more top end. As much or more power at the wheels (the 230/250 numbers were horribly underrated), and weighed 300+ lbs less than both of them. That being said, it had no chance against the Evo or STi once the road starting curving at all. I love all 3 of those cars (I have a WRX), but the Neon deserves respect on its name.

Yesss! Happy to see this pop up in my sub box. I just picked up one of these (non-ACR) off a buddy back in Oct with about 40k original miles and I've been working to restore it from the crap it's been through with the previous owner before my friend got it. Pretty spot on review. A few notes/comments: 1) It does have a rear cupholder. It's just in the lid of the center console so the driver sacrifices an armrest for it. 2) ACR = American Club Racing. And the wheels on it were actually a size smaller (16 vs 17) though wider (7 vs 6). 3) 160 mph on the dash and it could actually get into the 150s stock, so not an overly optimistic speedometer. 4) Always heavily modified because they were cheap and the stock block could make and hold 400+ hp with bolt-ons and a tune. 5) Neons in general were surprisingly reliable (manual transmission) when properly taken care of. When treated like an appliance, they often deteriorated rapidly. My 97 is still running strong to this day. 6) The first several SRT-4s I saw in the wild were actually driven by grey-haired individuals who liked speed on a budget. 7) The smile on Douggie D's face during the drive is what really sold these cars. 8) Thanks for the review! :) Happy motoring, everyone!

Good on you for bringing one back from the brink. My cousin bought his stock, didn't touch the interior or exterior except for adding some ACR seats he managed to somehow find online. Bolted on a big intercooler and set it up for E85. That thing still holds the title of most hilarious car I've ever driven. Impossible to gun it and not be giggling like a schoolgirl. That much power should not be that easy to get in that small and cheap of a package, but I am so glad it is.

To be fair, Chrysler is notorious for taking cost cutting measures, if not the most notable in automobile history. Ever hear of the k car? The Plymouth prowler is another good example and that’s on dougs page. Almost every part in that car is borrowed from another dodge or Chrysler product. Comparing dodge to Ferrari is just a silly comparison anyhow, dodge is definitely more worried about cost per vehicle seeing as they sell around 2 million vehicles per year. Ferrari sells 8,400. Trust me, Ferrari isn’t cost cutting.

I remember being a Junior in High School when this car came out & really liked this Whip. There was a Schoolmate of mine that had this car & it was really cool-looking at the time. This is Nostalgic to me & I miss being young now.

215 hp was advertised hp, on the dyno they were putting out 265hp. Insurance reasons. I had the 2003, upgraded to the 2004 transmission for the limited slip. Even without it, it didn’t really have torque steer. That’s because it has equal length half shafts. Unequal length half shafts is the main reason why front drives have torque steer. The limited slip just made it even better. The only thing Neon in the car was the body. Everything else came from different cars, like the Stratus.

The smile he had driving it is why people love these cars

Ok first off I’m only half way through the video as I’m saying this, but I’m going to finish it. So far, this is the absolute best and most accurate retrospect on the neon srt4 (I’m a former 1g coupe owner, it’s a neon. People can get over it.) that I have ever come across. From the difference in engine and trans specs from the 03-04up models to the differences between the base and acr spec, the to classic neon crank rear windows. Man. I’m impressed. I miss my 1g and am now actively looking for one 15 years after my last one threw a rod and I was too young and stupid to deal with it. So this is great content for a refresher, as someone who was absolutely in love with these cars at the time. People can say whatever they want about the neons, they’re an absolute weapon. I’d love if you could do one of these on a 1997 neon acr coupe. Specifically. As that’s the single best 1g they made in terms of bringing the civics to the killing fields. An SCCA D legend. It deserves some love for its 25th birthday.

This is the kind of sports car that I love. I love how they used cheap plastic and poor build quality on the inside so that they could make it affordable and keep it fairly lightweight as apposed to have all kinds of leather and tech that is unnecessary. I honestly prefer plastic and cheap quality with no features such as automatic windows, heated or cooled seats, backup camera ect... I just like simple cars with a good amount of power. Although it would have been awesome if they made a rwd coupe but regardelss its a really cool car.
