The Dodge Neon was introduced in 1994 and the second generation debuted in 2000. Alongside a facelift in 2003, the SRT4 model was introduced. Powered by a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine with a Mitsubishi turbocharger and featuring a 5-speed manual transmission, the 2003 Neon SRT4 was rated at 215 horsepower and 245 foot-pounds of torque. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.6 seconds and cover a quarter mile in 14.1 seconds at 102 miles per hour, and was the second-fastest stock production vehicle in the Chrysler/Dodge lineup, second only to the V10-powered Viper.
In 2004, larger fuel injectors and a recalibrated engine computer increased output to 230 horsepower and 250 foot-pounds of torque, reducing the 0-60 time to 5.3 seconds and the quarter mile time 3.9 seconds at 103 miles per hour. The SRT4 was discontinued with the rest of the Neon platform after 2005.
