What Happened To The Dodge SRT 4

[@FitmentIndustries]

Is the SRT-4 worthy of a revival? COMMENT BELOW!!! Wheels/Tires/Suspension 👇 www.fitmentindustries.com/

[@aestheticswim3397]

Imagine if they brought back the Dodge dart with a hellcat engine or made another SRT four

[@saulekaravirs6585]

yes, as long as it has ICE, the SRT-4 is worthy of a revival. Also, So you want a Lotus Seven / Caterham Seven or What happened to the Super Seven would be a cool video for you do cover one of these days. What bolt pattern do the 7s run anyway? I want to get one and put it on a set of Watanabe 8 spokes.

[@memocalderon1138]

Same! I bought my brand new 2004 SRT-4 back in October of 2003. I loved it! Mustang GT’s, civics, Accords, WRX didn’t come close to my SRT! I remember keeping up with the S2000’s but would always lose by inches when I was stock. Such a fun car. RIP 🪦 tho, I ended up rolling my SRT-4 in a street race…

[@robertohiguera8832]

I loved my SRT4, super fun, and reasonably quick. Was able to beat on new muscles cars back in the day with my stage 3 SRT4 and it was such a satisfying feeling winning in a 4 door sedan. People enjoyed making fun of the car but that only attracted me to the car more. I would often get made fun of, people saying my car "it's just a neon", but if they lose to my "neon" then all of sudden they start saying they lost to an SRT4 lol. Good times for sure!

Still have my rust free, 60k mile, electric blue, stage 3 Mopar SRT4 and it is still my favorite car to drive. I've had a 2011 and 2016 Sti and the enjoyment I get out of my srt4 is 10 times better. It's not a car for everyone but it sure puts a smile on my face. Looking for another one as well to make into a monster street/track machine so I can keep my low mileage low on my 04

I'm going to be 52 years old in 2 months, and love playing with my SRT-4, it is one of the cleanest I've seen and pride myself in showing this car to others.

Living in the Metro Detroit Area, you often run into people who have worked at Chrysler and often remember the vehicle. Brings a lot of attention during the Woodward Dream Cruise.

[@robgp69]

Throughout the years I've had a 3000gt vr4, 350z, Mustang GT, 97 Supra TT, WRX, Evo X, and my Neon Srt4 with 180k miles is the only one still on my driveway. I could never get rid of that car. It's way too fun for the price. I wouldn't get much money for it and not worth selling.

[@Rzn8B58]

same. I've put too much into mine to make any sense of selling it, so I guess I'll keep and eventually restore mine.

[@Crazyced]

I mean Dodge stopped making the SRT4s for the same reason Ford stopped making the RS, the base platform went away. I remember back then everyone begging for a Dart SRT4. I also wished you would mentioned the Stage kits from Mopar, including suspensions from KW and turbo upgrade from the Stage 3 including 'Toys', which were factory upgrades that bumped power to a level unheard of before.

SRT4 was suppose to hit the Dodge Darts. I was going to do a SRT4 project car to where I take the head off the 2nd Gen Base model RS Eclipse (420a motor) and bolt it down to the SRT4 block because it bolts right in. With that setup the headers and intake a flipped. Now your turbo will be in the front instead of in the back by the firewall getting heat soaked

THANK YOU! I was thinking the same thing when he said that!

[@rooh5825]

A lot of things that really need to be cleared up here. First off, the SRT-4 uses a SKIM key, any issues with the security inherent to that system will allow the car to start, but it will only “run for two seconds”. This is a problem inherent to any car using that system. There isn’t some “more threads about how SRT-4s start and die after 2 seconds” epidemic, not even sure where you are getting that. This issue started about 10 years ago, once the SRT-4 got cheap enough that people could by them with “honda money”, then they started doing the same idiotic garbage that you saw them doing to Hondas, trying to alter the interior electronics with cheap stupid modifications that would end up screwing up the SKIM system. We never saw this in the first few years the car after the car was sold. And it still wasn’t common even when it did start happening. You bring up ANY 17 year old sports car, 350Z, your venerable S2000, Mustang, STi, Evo, etc, and they are going to have problems. You would have been a lot more accurate to have brought up the 3rd gear issues with the T850 NVG transmission in the SRT-4 as the biggest issue we’ve ever dealt with in this car. There would be no debate on that. But even with that issue, when SRT-4s are not abused, they are really reliable, especially the engine. There are thousands on the road today with well over 100k miles on them, still going strong, many of them still doing the weekend warrior thing at the race track. The car did not have a limited slip differential in 2003, the first year it was released. That came in 2004. There was no “writing on the wall” regarding any “recession” in 2005, that had nothing to do with the SRT-4 Neon no longer being built. The PL platform (Neon) was already long in the tooth in 2003 when the first SRT-4 was developed. In 2003 the Neon platform received a mild “refresh” that affected only the exterior, the Neon still had that same 1999 interior, it was one of those sacrifices that was made in order to keep the price under 20,000 dollars. The demise of the PL platform was scheduled in 2005, that is the only reason they stopped building the SRT-4. In fact they only meant to ever expected to sell a limited run of 3000 of them. In the end they sold TWENTY FIVE thousand. If your intent was to imply that the entire LINE died due to the “recession” you should have made that more clear, rather than bringing it up while still discussing the Neon version. The “recession” you referenced was in 2008, a full three years later. No one in 2005 was even remotely thinking about a recession, except one guy, Michael Burry. After all, if all these companies “saw the writing on the wall” in 2005, wouldn’t they have also shorted mortgages and made a killing too? And finally the Caliber. Oh boy… The Neon SRT-4 was quicker, not by some huge margin, but still true. Caliber had “more power, more torque”, yes, correct, but it weighed more, it was basically like a brick going down the road. As soon as you sat down in the Caliber version, it felt wrong. You were sitting up high, it felt like truck seats. The shifter up high nearly in the dash. Even the SRT team wasn’t all that thrilled about having to develop the Caliber into a performance model. The Caliber SRT-4 finally arrived on the market 2 YEARS late. During development, the question was brought up to the SRT team on the SRT Forums about why it was taking so long? “Ever heard the term ‘polishing a turd’ before?” was the answer, but they almost immediately deleted that, and responded again with something about the starter not working in the position where it was located. BUT we saw them say it. DaimlerChrysler did not sell 85,000 Caliber SRT-4s, you should clarify that. That was just the base model The SRT version was only available in 2008-2009, and they only sold 5,562 of them. You keep bagging on “Dodge was bankrupt” and “Dodge was broke”, as though they were the only company that dealt with a huge amount of trouble in 2008. Are you even aware that only TWO car companies actually made money in 2008? Hyundai and Subaru. EVERY other car company lost money, and many were in deep trouble. At the point in time that gas hit 4 dollars a gallon in 2008, there wasn’t a single car in the Dodge lineup that got 30mpg, not one. This was all due to Daimler’s horrific mismanagement and refusal to consider building a decent sub-compact or compact that actually could get 35 or even 40 mpg. That’s a big part of the problems they had during the recession. (interestingly enough, I think in 2021, Chryser/Dodge/Jeep again has no vehicles above 30mpg, someone can correct me if I’m wrong, maybe the Ecodiesel 2WD ram? Not sure). Toyota actually took more government money than any other car company in the world in order to stay afloat, but it wasn’t American money, so it didn’t get that same sort of seething coverage that American car companies received for doing so. At least you did finally mention the issue with “mortgages” later in the video, I’ll give you credit there. I realize you are in the business of selling wheels and tires, but good GOD stance looks horrible, and it looks even worse on the SRT4 than most. There are so many awesome looking SRT4s out there, it is unfortunate that you didn’t pick any of them for your video, instead of cars that look so bad that if the car itself had a choice, it would drive itself off a cliff. Of course, if those drivers ever actually got on the power in the car, it would drive right off the road because of how awful that setup is for ACTUAL driving, much less hard acceleration. I see the question being posed in comments about why they just don’t build the SRT-4 again. A few years back the SRT team was back on another forum chat, the question “Why not build another one?” was brought up. “We can’t”. They never expected the car to get the government green light due to exhaust or emissions in the first place, but it did. The exhaust has no muffler. At the time the turbocharger was actually considered a “sound deadening device” and it allowed the PVO (who later became the SRT) team to build the car with no muffler. Another reason it won’t be built is that the SRT-4 was actually rated worse on emissions than the 5.7L Hemi Ram pickup. The reason for this was inherent to the design. When letting up on the gas, or downshifting, the car was tuned to continue to push a small amount of fuel through the cylinders. This was why the vehicle had such a distinct “snap-crackle-pop” sound to the exhaust, one that every SRT-4 owner knew vividly, and why they could immediately pick out an SRT-4 by hearing it even before they would see it. Whether this design was to cool the cylinders or only served to create that exhaust noise has been debated over the years, but either way it led to the car’s emission standards being eye-poppingly bad. Not that any of the owners cared, go-fast and emissions standards generally don’t go hand in hand with respect to internal combustion. This became even worse if you installed the available Mopar “cat delete” turbo-back exhaust, and/or any of the 3 available Mopar stage packages, all of which said “For Off Road Use Only”. This has always been a running gag in the SRT community, because you don’t really see SRT-4s hitting the rocky trails or sand dunes (and yes, we know, it means not for licensed vehicle use on public roadways, before some simp decides to “correct” this). Another interesting tidbit: the SRT-4 was supposed to have been included in the Fast and the Furious Franchise, but the final product wasn’t ready by the time production began on the movie in question, forcing the movie producers to go another route. Finally, I find it ironic that you are giving away an S2000, a car that is slower than the SRT-4. Que the honda bois rage lol. (yes, the srt4 is faster, no amount of anger changes that).

Msde 430 horsepower at the wheels on 25 psi. Also had some aftermarket coilovers clutch springs and lsd. Thing handled amazing it just torque steered like crazy. Also what sucks about the calibers and was the reason that even though my car could do 430 horsepower I always ran my more modest tune pushing about 340. The SRT for neons were a little bit better for modding stock even though they came with less horsepower because of the block. The caliber came with a more lightweight better cooled aluminum block but it was open deck so you're kind of screwed pushing a lot of boost regularly. The SRT 4 neon block with semi-closed and could handle tons of horsepower and run reliably. You could make the caliber handle that it was just a pain in the ass because you had to take the whole engine apart and send the block off to somewhere like css.

Make a separate video on the Caliber SRT4 please! :3

[@Uvhash]

Subbed👍 wicked video man

[@DjNick-mg4uj]

Please talk about the Dodge Dart !!!

[@patricklikesmusic1]

Started driving in 2001 in the first year neon. 95 4 door sohc manual trans. Got made fun of because I wanted to go turbo. Why would you turbo a 4 door turd? Then dodge dropped the srt4 on the world and everybody shut up quick lol. Took me till like 8 years ago and I finally bought one. Still have my 95 but I'm the second owner of an 05 stone white Srt4 ACR. Bought her at 83k 100 percent stock from the original older owner. Only at 103k miles and I've kept her pretty stock. Even stock it is a fun car. These cars can handle over 400hp on stock internals, but if you keep it conservative they last forever. Too many people just crank the boost or throw a big turbo and blow them up. My srt4 has been super reliable. Only thing more reliable is my 72 f100. I've been holding off, but I have a nice act clutch setup and all the stuff for e85 sitting in the shed if I get bored with factory power levels in the srt lol. I was waiting for an srt dart. Not a fan of the dart, but they were talking over 300hp and awd. I would love to see them bring another 4 door srt compact to life.

Video discussing the SRT4 then show a KZbin vid of a regular neon blowing it's engine.....

[@evoevannismo8141]

I had a hot wheels Dodge Neon SRT-4 toy when I was a little kid in the 2000's.

[@strang3majik]

I've owned 4 SRT4 Neons, so I suppose you could say I liked them alright. One of them was missing 3rd gear and two others needed clutch fork replacements...and they all eat through coil packs like they're candy due to heat. Otherwise they were awesome. You should do some coverage of the old school turbo Dodges of the 80s. Back when Dodge was killing Mustangs and Camaros with fwd Omnis 😂 The Caliber SRT4 had the world engine (4B11) which shared a block and other components with the Evo X and Hyundai Genesis. Its 6 spd did not have a factory LSD, though, as they replaced it with traction control. They were neat...I test drove a new one, but, having owned the Neon, there's no comparison. I even have an Evo 8 now and still reminisce about my SRT4 days.

[@rizza7575]

I've got a MkV R32, Focus ST and a Srt4. The Srt4 has more smiles per gallon hands down.

[@BabyGMadDog]

Building an SRT4 right now!

[@Lilmiddwest]

Wish they made the dart to a srt4.

[@jjhoops023]

The neon may be gone but I think it's soul successor is the Dart SRT4, my neighbor has one that definitely is not stock (I haven't seen under the hood, but the blow off noises make it pretty obvious). I'd love to see some more modded darts out there

[@sirloin4372]

Uh no, no it’s not…

[@kristenmoon4405]

I miss my old Neon. Had so much fun with that lil fella.

[@nonog294]

Caliber srt4 is my daily. Only run into others like mine maybe once a year. It's cheap it's fun it's unique it was my favorite car back in high-school and limited production so your not going to see it like the cookie cutter cars you see everyday at everymeet or cars and coffee. It's nice to see ppl appreciate the neon and caliber srt4.

[@charlieryan1736]

Thanks for featuring this amazing vehicle 👌🏻

[@tapia7733]

I have a srt-4 and I love the sound of the turbo is just great.

[@noecardenas422]

Srt4 I have a love/hate thing with these cars...I've had 4 of these ....I sell it...then I miss it and there I go buying another and another..now I'm in the market looking for another lol

[@greytilgrave]

im buying one hoping this thing brings me the enjoyment I need from a car 5 speed manual, turbo noises, and the gnarly exhaust I cant wait

[@jerefigueroabeatz2142]

Best car of its category

[@roboneil711]

Csrt owner here!!! Not the fastest in town.. 18 lb boost.and mods to support it… shocks most!!!

[@rick4788]

I had a 2003,04 and 05 love those cars. My 03 was purchased brand new.

[@ryanpatterson336]

I miss my srt4, nothing I have driven since turned so many heads and was so much fun to drive. Plus nothing sounds better.

[@andrewwilkins7237]

"You need to send me 200 Dallas and we won't talk about it again" 🤣🤣🤣

[@janrynkevic377]

SRT 4 was my starting car in Midnight Club 3

[@tslay7928]

I actually saw a modified Caliber SRT-4 a few weeks ago in Charlotte. It looked and sounded really good!

[@terrypace2134]

I never had a problem with my srt. I was one of the first sold in my NC. I started right away upgrading. I got it up to right at 425 hp and was whipping mustangs left and right back then.. I wish I wouldn't have sold it but that's how the customization game goes, you can't keep a car for long

[@joeschmoe5009]

Bring it back! Chrsyler 200 srt4 here we come!

[@jaym2569]

I miss my electric blue stage 2.. that car was fun as hell.

[@terrencenivens8620]

Feel like the SRT nameplate or division never really died. Just anything below an 8 cylinder got axed. Technically the SRT4 would’ve come back with the Dart but fiat interfered as they did with a lot during their time with dodge. Now emissions and government fines will be the death of the hellcat as we know it

[@Chilly.Z34]

People sleep on the 1.4t dart , slow but still sounds amazing

[@terrencenivens8620]

@@Chilly.Z34 oh hell yeah. Has potential. Shit even the 2.4 they have sounds good. And there’s a company that’s makes a specific turbo kit for the 2.4 that gets you SRT4 numbers. Had fiat just let dodge do what they do the dart would’ve been less of a failure

[@christianfigueroa8392]

I just copped a Csrt4. It's Hella fun.

[@Bournefort]

I have been daily driving my Neon SRT4 for 8 years. 250,000 miles and counting (on the original timing belt). All stock except for the coilovers. Amazing car. I average 30.4 mpg and can still hang with new cars like the Focus RS, STi, Mustang GT, etc...

[@DR.P3RKY]

That’s not a flex bro change your timing belt before it leaves you stranded 🤣💀. 250k on a neon is a flex though, props.

[@4drturbo85]

Highly doubt it's on its original timing belt with 250,000. A stock SRT4 neon will not hang well with a newer STI, Mustang GT or Focus RS. Will get smoked.

[@bloodtearssweat1373]

I love the SRT 4, and if I had to choose, I prefer the Caliber, it had that Dodge Is Magdam feel, just smaller. Only thing is, they were so unreliable. Would love to have one in my collection though.

[@HCivicFg2]

I used to hate my mother's caliber. Until it took an SUV nearly head on and mom walked away with some shoulder damage from the seat belt.
