[@SrtRacerBoy]

​@@MarkSliwinski1988 I can absolutely say that's not true at all. I see a couple once in a while but they're ultra Rare to see out driving. that engine was extremely reliable and there were very few issues that would stop one from driving. A Large Majority of them were totaled out by their owners. A Curse of the car being just cheap enough for a 16-22 year old to afford, and being Extremely cheap to modify to go pretty fast for its time. (SRTForums was keeping a tally on how quickly they were being totaled.) The other Big issue was the rust problem. primarily because owners didn't take very good care of them. another Curse of being such a cheap car carrying the neon stigma. People just let the remaining SRT-4's ROT and neglected basic car care & maintenance.

[@HeelnToeHero]

I’ve owned an SRT4 since new for over 20 years. Thanks for bringing this back from the dead and showing a younger generation this unique, domestic tuner. Would love to see you guys continue to build it into a proper street ripper.

[@TechnoTTR125]

Seeing this project hits me in the feels. Lost a good buddy of mine to cancer and he had one of these, swore by it even when it was a complete bucket.. so many good memories cruising, racing and hanging out. His SRT is slowly being turned into his dream vision of a full track and drag setup by his best friend. Y'all rock, keep up the kickass work and bring back these beauties!

As an avid srt4 enjoyer for quite awhile, i was so excited to see someone finally do something with a neon srt4. And do it right nonetheless.

[@M3_Foss]

I miss mine! I bought it brand new in 2004. I raced the 1/4 mile stock and every time I beat a PR I would buy a new performance part and do it all over again. That was the only car I truly built. I sold her with 230k miles on it 13 years later. It ran like a champ! Thank you all for the video and bringing back nostalgia. ❤

yeah because they ran 12s with nothing but a tune and simple bolt-ons. Meanwhile, heavily modified Subies were grenading at the track trying to run 13 flat with all sorts of mods. Getting smoked by a Neon leaves a bad taste in an import guy's mouth LOL.

[@romangarza8722]

I love seeing these smaller domestic cars on your channel, mainly because they are affordable and easy to work on, for ME. Your other cars are nice, don’t get me wrong, but they are out of my price range. In other words, thank you for posting vids of all sorts.

[@RAW-With-JESUS]

I totally get what your saying mate but believe it or not if you can even find them those Srt4's are not cheap. Look one up and especially if your buying online and it has to be shipped because there are none close. That's a baby viper they called them so they hold value.

[@RAW-With-JESUS]

I take that back, 13 grand u can get a really clean one for and 6-8 for a ok one. Man I thought those were harder to find then that but I stand corrected. I might get one now seriously 😊

[@b.hessing1182]

At first I thought this car looked funny in the garage with all those cool imports, but as the episode went on I realized that it actually fit in. These are such a cool piece of automotive history and I don't think they get enough love.

The Dodge Neon SRT-4 was one of the first cars from the SRT division in Dodge. Always the underdog in a street race back in the day. It's a very rare sight to see one in2024. It will always have a place in my heart.

Yea this flame red on here looks a lot like one I sold a few years back to a guy in Long Beach. Doubt this was it but I do honestly believe these cars were great bang for the buck for its era! I wouldn't mind owning another. I have a bunch of parts from my part out that I could technically build another Mopar Stage 3 car 🤔

This was a great time for pocket rockets. SRT-4, Cobalt SS, WRX, GTI, Si, Mazdaspeed 3, and more. Over the years, I’ve owned almost all of them at some point and we’re all great in their own way. Out of them all, the supercharged Cobalt was my favorite. Even though the later turbocharged Cobalt was faster, the supercharger whine was just too good on the original. Such a good era for car guys.

That is NOT The stock exhaust. It didn't T off at the rear with a right angle. It was more of a Noodly rounded M shape.

I LOVED the OEM Look you guys went for. Now its a Prime example of what the SRT-4 Was back in 03-05 -----These would/Should be looked into----- (I was the SRT-4 Mechanic in my Friend group) -Scrap that ebay magaflow exhaust, get a 3" (MPX is good), Car never came with a muffler stock -4:36 - Delete all those solonoids go big turbo setup (AGP Turbo CW 5457E "AGP 50 Trim" was my go-to) -10.0 AFR is not Good. its extremely rich and you should probably have a tuner take a look and get you on e85 anyway. -You will probably need Transmission work, 3rd gear extender (3rd gear fork, throw out bearing, clutch while you're in there, Royal Purple Synchromax ) -Cut the balance shaft chain -Add a Catch Can, 8.1:1 puked up quite a bit of oil into the intercooler. -Also, Zip-Tie EVERY vacuum line on the car. boost ALWAYS Blows them off Engines good for 400-450 wheel pretty safely, Push into 500wheel should be alright for a while. Owned mine for 10 years, and it Never broke down once. 400hp, drove hard EVERY time I drove it. The only real issue I had was 3rd Syncro. My friends also snapped Axles a couple times at the drag strip. I unfortunately was forced to sell it because of a home purchase and it was starting to rust the rear wheel wells which is EXTREMELY Common. 800HP MKV Supra now, but I miss the SRT-4 constantly. it was my first "Performance/Turbo" Vehicle.

[@jakematthews6982]

I had a customer that bought one of these that had a bigger turbo installed. Every single vacuum line was routed incorrectly, the alternator wouldn’t put out proper voltage above 1500rpm, the ‘boost controller’ was from playskool, and a whole slew of other issues. We had the car at the shop for almost 3 months off and on. Once it was finally working properly and I drove it I could tell the turbo or the tune or both were just wrong because the moment the manifold pressure went positive the boost was dumped out. And it was like you’re driving an NA Neon. We recommended him a couple reputable tuner shops in the area to get it properly tuned and setup for the turbo or get a more appropriate sized turbo installed. I saw him driving it around after that but I don’t know if it was ever corrected. They’re decent little cars.

Trans parts are the hardest to come by!! Realtune performance or liberty will get you what you need though!! Definitely need to save more of these cars!! Subscribed and ready for more content!! 👏🏻

That one looks like the 2005 ACR model that I had, except the ACR came with Bridgestone rims, different seats and had a 1 inch lower ride height than regular SRT-4's. I ordered it when I was a Chrysler technician. I immediately installed the Mopar Performance stage 3 turbo kit. I slowly added modifications to the car and raced it in NOPI and SCCA events until I sold it in 2010 when my twins were born. Using 110 octane racing fuel with the high octane mode that came with the stage 3 kit, it would output a tad over 350 at the wheels. These cars respond extremely well to tuning. Getting over 400 horsepower wasn't too difficult because the SRT 2.4 can handle a really high boost.

SRT4 was my dream car in high school. Remember I had a Super Street poster of a gray one up on my door that I drooled over every day, lol. Only ever got to test drive one in a parking lot, but couldn't afford it new. Settled for a non turbo Mazda 3. Still love the bruteness and the burble and crackle of the SRT 4 though.

Oh this takes me back!... I bought one of these the second year they came out. I remember buying an exhaust, rims, springs and a blow off valve before the car was even delivered. I ended up flipping it down a steep hill/cliff drifting while intoxicated😅... Dumb stuff. And yes these things sounded awesome and made a solid 240hp, 260 torque and weighed under 3000lbs! Ran a quarter in the high 13's. They came stock with over 1 atmosphere of boost. They also offered a stage 3 performance kit from the factory that bumped it up to well over 300hp and close to 400 torque. It was a seriously fast car for the time. Solid motors you could hammer on all day and handled power upgrades with ease. If they made it rear or 4wheel drive, and 2 door it would have gone from cool to legendary.

[@itsGewch]

Man I wanted one of these so bad in high school. That exhaust sound will always have a place in my heart

[@matiasviera1983]

What an amazing episode! Thank you so much, guys! I love the way it turned out!

[@Desmo1]

I had a Neon SRT-4 a while back and loved that thing, definitely miss it lol.

[@seanmalone2530]

I had a 04 in Eletric Blue. It is one of the most underrated cars out there. I loved that car and miss it for sure.

[@lweston71]

I had 2 Neons, a base made and an R/T. Never had an SRT but always wanted one. Nice to see 1 back on the road. 👍
