Stupid question - what is the actual name of the vehicle?
Is it an SX SRT-4? Or technically a Neon SRT-4??
I can't access the DC Canada website from work to check - don't know why...
Just curious as the regular production models as all know are called the SX here in Canada, not Neons anymore.
98 SVT Contour #1702 (silver) - traded in & missed alot!
02 SVT Focus #2686 (blue) - beginning to enjoy the 4-banger.

I'm pretty sure they dropped the name Neon period? I could be wrong but that is what I thought.

Some web sites show SRT-4 only or Neon SRT-4.

In the US they are only SRT-4... window stickers, at least the ones ive seen, don't say neon... the car doesn't say neon anywhere, and the website only lists it as SRT-4... they are trying hard to get away from "Its just a neon"

Well I went and looked at a Blue one at my local dealership today.
Very nice. Better than expected in terms of fit and finish.
This one had the viperesque seats which for a 6'2" 260lb guy, just don't work. Much too confining esp in the left shoulder area.
The shifter delt a bit disapointing as well, although might be better when driving.
I will be test driving sometime in the next few days.
So Chris, have you picked yours up yet?

I'm finally taking it out of the showroom tomorrow evening. The dealer was more than happy to have me leave it in their showroom, as mine and one black one are the last of the heap for this particular dealer. I get to bring the SRT-4 back from time to time, as I mod it. The dealer would like for me to show the car in their showroom to assist in bringing in more customers. No problem here, hey, they can keep in the showroom all winter for all that matters.

Well, I picked up the SRT-4 this evening, and I just had to tip into the throttle a couple, errr, a few times, on the way back from Mississauga. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comparing my SVT in current trim to a bone stock SRT-4, my SVT would outrun the SRT on the highway, but around the city and from stop light to stop light, I have a feeling the results would be much different. Can't wait to start modding the SRT. It's going to be mighty quick once it's done.
