I hope they move away from it with a quickness!
The 2008 WRX is rated at 228 hp, that's flywheel. That is less hp than the average SRT4 put down to the wheels, AND the WRX being AWD will be even more parasitic of that horsepower.
Also, you can about guess the next SRT-4 will start out around 24K just as I said earlier. AWD is going to push that price up several thousand.
And as someone else stated, Dodge has not been in the AWD performance market except for one vehicle, and that is the Grand Cherokee SRT-8. You can't really put that same system into the SRT-4.
The original SRT4 worked just fine as a FWD.
People keep saying "bring back the neon, make it AWD!!!" but fail to read the earlier posts about why that is very unlikely.
