General comments

"Wow. awesome car. more than I expected or hoped for. It's the perfect midlife crisis car, plenty of power, and money left over to pay the mortgage. They aren't for everyone- a little raw and uncivilized, not unlike '60-'70 muscle cars, but smaller and better behaved. I believe in buying American made and keeping Americans working. I would HIGHLY recommend this American car. It's like an eager horse just waiting for a little slack in the reins." Altoona , Pennsylvania - March, 2006

"Mini Muscle car, I love it, it's a rocket!" Shaun S. (San Clemente , California - December, 2005)

"FAST!!!! Awesome blowoff valve... nice, affordable stage upgrades. " Cleveland , Ohio - November, 2005

"This car is very quick and handles great. Im very happy with this car and suggest it to anyone wanting a good inexpensive very quick car."

San Diego , California - August, 2005

"This car is great, very happy with my choice. Looked at other products in the price range but for someone small like me the racing seats keep me centered while driving and the response from the turbo is unbeatable. Always turns heads."

Margaret W. (Lusby , Maryland - June, 2005)

"I is almost hard to drive slow. This is the perfect sports car for someone who donest want to pay sports car money. It is very fun to drive with all the sights and sounds it offers. It grips the road and shoots out of corners like a real race car. It is about as close to a race car(For the money of course)as you can get bone stock. Performance is the ultimate goal of this car so dont expect anything but."

Gloucester , Virginia - April, 2006

"For the money, there is no car that gives this level of bang for the buck. I considered the Ford SVT Focus, the Honda Civic SI, and the Acura RSX-S and none of them could compare as far as a total package for the money. I test drove all before I purchased the SRT4. The engine is great, the handling superb, and the looks and feel of the car outstanding. Dodge finally got another one right."

Dwayne F. (Germantown , Maryland - July, 2005)

" I'm 27 been through the times of the RX-7, 280Z, 944T, Supra, Corado VR6, Mustang GT, 325, MR2 etc. While some of these cars can beat the performance of SRT-4, yet for the price point it is unbeatable. I was considering either an Evo/WRX/ or SRT-4 (actually SRT-4 was not even on my list, ?oeI fell in love with it after a test drive?) I finally decided to take the SRT-4 two days ago and I am loving it. Saving myself over 10k and only sacrifice 4 wheal drive, marginal speed difference and handling. I'm happy. Let's face it, if you are not into 'luxury' you cant find a car for (23+ out the door) that has so much power/torque &extras. Don?TMt try to race with? (M3, RS-6, Viper, S4, CTS-V, Z06, SVT, AMG, Ram SRT-10, Lightning), 'They will SMOKE you.? "

Robert K. (Sun Valley , California - June, 2005)

"What can I say. I'm a middle aged enthusiast who had been through the eras of Duster, 280Z, Supra, 3000GT, Evolution (outside of U.S.). While some of these cars can beat the performance of SRT-4; none of them can beat it if price is taken into consideration. I was considering either a Evo or a SRT-4 and I finally decided to take the SRT-4

two weeks ago and I don't regret it. Saving myself over 10k and sacriface 4 wheel drive, marginal speed difference and marginal handling. I'm happy. Let's face it, if you are not into 'luxury' stuff, there are no cars out there below 30k that has more fun and power than SRT-4; not to mention under 22k (Actual $$ for SRT-4 is more like 21k). On the other hand, don't try to race with M3, Evo or STI. They are of a different league." Fresh Meadows , New York - June, 2005

"After months of research and many test drives this is the car i fell in love with! for the money you cant beat it the looks are ok depending on buyer but performance for this car is unreal the power band kicks in at a low 2200 rpms and has almost no turbo lag. I have a $27,000 subaru wrx other than handling and traction via all wheel drive my SRT will destroy my wrx, also depending on the drivers skill a bone stock SRT will hang door to door or even beat a stock $32,000 wrx sti and a $30-37,000 evo i know this for a fact so if you dont care about all wheel drive why waste $10,000!!!" David G. (Bristol , Tennessee - April, 2005)

"This super-modified Neon has all the right stuff. Torque at low rpm, consistent torque curve from 2400-4800 RPM, comfort that isn't stiff and bone-jarring on bumps at both low and high speed, superb handling for a front wheel drive car, the availability of Stage I-II-III upgrades to HP and torque that come from Mopar (to avoid warranty issues, at least for early stages). And, it surges like one of Chrysler's old favorites, the 1970 Cuda 340 that I restored and sold cause babies were on their way.... I again venture into Mopar performance territory.... with better handling than that Cuda." Russell F. (San Jose , California - September, 2004)

"Fun car, great handling and good looks all in one lovely package." John D. (Laurel , Delaware - May, 2005)

"WONDERFUL CAR. NEVER HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT FOR THE MONEY. ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE THE COST OF THE STAGE II &STAGE 3 KITS. WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE CRUISE CONTROL." Don S. (Bellefontaine , Ohio - December, 2004)
