Default R.I.P SRT-4

i just got my car and driver mag and i read that the SRT-4 and the neon r being discontinued. wut do u guys think of Dodge's decision? good -- bad?

I think its because they r getting their a$$es kicked by the awd rally cars. know everything has optional awd[8D]

I think it is a pretty bad call on dodges part seeings how that was the ricer car that they had. With that they were kinda providing to all the car enthusiasts ( dont get me wrong I hate NEONS MORE THAN ANYTHING ) but other than that all they have is the Charger and the super bee ram. I think that they should have kept it. They seemed to be very present at least in my community.

Just like Chevy did with the Cobalt replacing the Cavalier, the Neon is being replaced by the Caliber.

As far as Torch's first line in his post... 4 cyl performance/import enthusiast and ricer aren't interchangable.

All Dodge has is the Charger and SuperBee Ram? Are you referring to what they have performance wise?

Neon SRT-4/Caliber SRT-4
Charger R/T
Charger SRT-8
Magnum R/T
Magnum SRT-8
Challenger SRT-8 (coming soon)
Ram SRT-10
Viper SRT-10
(Chrysler and Jeep)
Sebring TSi (coming soon)
Crossfire SRT-6
300C SRT-8
Jeep Cherokee SRT-8

-------------------------------------

I've stated it before, the SRT-4 is being replaced by the Dodge Caliber SRT-4 which is AWD. It will be a capable of putting 60% of it's power to the rear wheels. It doesn't look as good, but it will probably perform better. No specs on the 2.4L Turbocharged engine yet, but I can bet it will be a little bit more powerful.

Allpar.com/Caliber

And not every one who has an SRT-4 is a ricer. If that was true, then I could say every one who owned a Mustang was a white boy who lived in a trailer. (not that they are, just an example)

the claiber is an ugly piece of crap...great...ANOTHER wagon and sedan combo...i dont give a damn if its faster than the SRT4...dodge is intentionally trying to remove itself from the performance market...

the charger ISNT a performance car..its a god damned family sedan.
