Well here is yet another challenge we will face with out CSVT's. The new 2003 Dodge SRT-4 (Street and Racing Technology, four cylinders) is powered by an intercooled, turbocharged version of Dodge's 2.4 liter engine. It is rated at 215 hp (@ 5,400 rpm) and 245 lb. ft. of torque (@3,200-4,200 rpm). The turbo four couples to a five speed stick and pulls only 2,939 lb. Capable of high five 0-60's, able to turn the quarter mile in the low 14's and governed at a 148 mph top end, the SRT-4 is flat out speedy. Only Viper is quicker in the Mopar lineup. Dodge SRT-4 Very close in weight with both around 3,000 lbs, HP close 200 vs. 215 but wow! touque is going to hurt 245 to our 169. Looks like this little 4-door will wax our A$$ stock vs. stock. More mods, more mods!!! I would love to knock off one of these before one gets us 1st. While I was never a Ford man until my 00 CSVT (diehard Chevy & Pontiac family) I have definitly never been a Mopar fan. We have a goal to do away with all stock SVT's and raise our perf numbers above these new kids on the block! Stock is not so hot anymore

LMAO. He did seem a little excited though.
The car has been out for a while now and even 1 or 2 of our members sold their SVT's for one of these neon. And yes, they will kill you unless you have put serious money into your SVT.

MT tested the SRT-4 at 13.9x at 102mph.
What part of the race will be close??? This is one heck of a pocket rocket albeit an ugly one (but what one isn't now days  )
About the weight. All the mags I saw stated around 2850lbs.
Also the 215HP/245TQ is very much underated!
2000 SVT #674
13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!
It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I thought about it, that's what it is on every other board I go to. I'm just lazy I guess? Plus owning an SRT-4 has it's disadvantages on forums across the net, so I don't mind that I still have the SVT in my name(I wish I could have both cars in all honesty). It's the new guy on the block that everybody hates or loves. It seems that more often than not, it gets me flamed.
