Put a tt V6 in the avenger, with sweet body mods and I guarantee it would be a hot ride
And look at GM, Audi/VW, and Mazda they all have direct injection turbo 4 cylinders that make sick amounts of power.. With that said the next srt4 needs to tap into some of that engineering.
No offense, but the Stealth was a heavy unreliable pig of a car. I agree a twin turbo V6 would be nice but that's a lot of cost/power for a FWD car. The Avenger is a nice car EXCEPT for that ugly shit Dakota front end. A small percentage of people who like Dodge's probably don't mind it, but I hear time and time again about how people say the same thing: "Great car, nice styling,
except wtf is with that front end?"
Also, those direct injection systems you are talking about make it very hard to upgrade the fuel system without some really complicated fuel management software, if it is possible at all. Build a small car around the all world 2.4 motor and Dodge will do just fine with it, then they can upgrade it to the Caliber version of that motor.
I want to say this: I
myself do not mind the Caliber SRT-4, I think it is a hot little car, I would be driving one now had Dodge not pushed back production 18 months when they did, but people who like the car are in the minority, big time. Most buyers in line for a sport compact do not care for it, and that is bad news for Dodge.
