If it's a Neon then why does is have a different motor and seats and wheels and bumpers and stuff? Explain that!








A ben thread will get me to break my silence.

So the Charger is actually a 300 since it's mostly the same?

Just like SRT-8, SRT-6, and SRT-10, SRT-4 is a package applied to a pre-existing model.

Thus far, the SRT-4 package has been available on the 2nd generation Neon and the Caliber. A neon SRT-4 is still a neon, just as a Crossfire SRT-6 is still a Crossfire, a Charger SRT-8 is still a Charger, a Ram SRT-10 is still a Ram...

Mostly True...

All of those cars were listed except the Neon. It was sold as a Dodge SRT-4 they wanted to get that sucker as far from the Neon as possible

Now you're just splitting hairs. :P

While dodge may have wanted to market the car without the neon name, everyone knows its just a modified neon. The OEM parts catalog even lists it as a neon. Just like the other SRT models, every part can be swapped over to its base model counterpart.

Its like saying an EVO is not really a Lancer because its factory modified, or a GT-350 is not really a Mustang.

Find one place where Dodge ever referenced the SRT-4 as a neon. They even sold it in a different section from the Neon on their website. The Viper, Jeep, 300, etc all had SRTx has a package option. The Neon didn't.
