Can we ever expect to see a RWD SRT-4 in production?

Freeway Flasher · 03-03-2004, 10:07 PM

What involvement will you guys play in the next generation Neon/SRT-4 MY/2007 i believe? I have heard rumors of a pig, and that you guys don't want anything to do with it.

is there an estimated "durability life" for stage two installed on an "off road" car that will not be pushed hard?

thanks for taking the time to view our questions.

is stage 3R still on the table, and if so when do you see it being released?

On the dyno graphs at www.mopar.com why are they all started at "1600 rpms",when

I dynoed my car they wanted me to start off at "2500 rpms".

should we start off at 1600 rpms & in what gear should we dyno to achieve the posted dyno sheets you have at www.mopar.com?

my other question is I ordered the SRT/mopar/autometer volt & oil psi guages,when I revieved them they look realy cheesey & don't evan come close to looking like the factory boost gauge.

for one the numbers don't light up,the needles are a bright orange not like the factory orange red color needle for the boost gauge.

are they going to be ajusted to look like the factory boost gauge or am I "SOL"?

Thanks for your time...

Is there a reason the hubs on our cars were not treated to corrosion? Where the rim bolts to the wheel, it is rusting badly on most cars ( my build date - 4/03). I live nowhere near the ocean & mine are like 50% rusted. Something over looked or intentional for some reason. Very ugly problem for lots of cars.

What is the spark plug gap on your stage 2 car?

**wolf** · 03-03-2004, 11:16 PM

When will the Stages be available for Mexico as currently they are in the US?

Why a Stage 1 can't be process with a Mexican VIN when buying it in the US?

Why is the spark plug of the Turbo 2.4 lts gapped at .050" as same as a the NA 2.4lts engine?

BlackPlague · 03-03-2004, 11:26 PM

Simpily yes or no due to the fact that ya'll probablly don't want to release detail:

Is a 2005 SRT going to cost more than a 2004?
Is there going to be a new color and any chance of metioning it (

)?

Is there an official explanation about why there are discrepencies between the window sticker's "standard equipment" list and actual equipment on the vehicles? The most blatant ones are the "trunk dress-up" and "Passenger-Side Sun Visor w/Covered Vanity Mirror"

Since this is affecting nearly all (if not all) SRT-4s, there should be some official stance on the subject.

There're also some who suspect that the screws in the door handles should have come with covers...

1)Will we see a balls to the wall neon SRT-4 ala the STI or the evo RS (or is it ES)? If 300hp/300t can be achieved, why not produce a even limited production model like the STI? Could it be brought back as the ACR?

2) Like asked above, will there be AWD or RW drive conversion from mopar or pvo/mopar? If it was suggested and shot down could you provide a back story?

Yes I know this is the last year for the SRT-4, but questions bought up in discussions. I know the WRX can be forced in RWD, but with great strain on car.

One thing that comes up when discussing the advantages of SRT/Mopar parts is the fact that they are tested way beyond what any vendor can do. In my travels around the net, I have recently come across references to S2 passing huge mileage testing, in excess of 70 or more thousand miles. You know, if I get into it with my dealership about S2 causing an issue with my car, it sure would be nice to be able to point to this testing.

I DO NOT expect Mopar to give me the test results. But since part of what I'm paying for is that testing, I would like to able to use it in my favor. I know any testing I do on Navy/Marine aircraft produces reports, big ones. Is there any way these Mopar test reports could be referenced? Say "Please refer to test number MOPAR 555-1212, which shows that S2 does NOT produce harmful boost levels, as shown by 70K miles of testing."

I know I'm tilting at a windwill here, but it's my windmill, and I like it.

Also, what, if any, involvement did Aquamist have in the intercooler sprayer?

I'm pretty sure I know these, but I would like to end debate on the topic. Does the base S2 PCM have the circuitry (not the socket, we know that's not there) and the code for Toys? And for cruise?

What is the offical expected eta for ordering and release of the 2005 Srt-4, furthermore can we expect to see any teasers such as nembers or otherwise before then?

tehroc · 03-04-2004, 05:53 AM

Many of us have expressed concern over the pricing of Stage 3. We know it's going to be expensive and a hard number is not what I'm looking for.

My concern is over the difference in pricing between the FULL kit and the UPGRADE kit.

Will the Stage 3 Full kit be a cheaper path to follow versus getting Stage 2 first, then upgrading to Stage 3? Some components in Stage 2 will be rendered useless when upgrading to Stage 3 (i.e. smaller injectors, Stage 2 PCM), so will DCX/Mopar offer a core refund for those parts, since they cannot be sold into the aftermarket (who wants an incomplete Stage 2 kit? not me.) Will such a refund bring the price of the UPGRADE closer to that of the FULL kit?

Also, in what relative time frame will it be released? Q2? Q3? Q4? Sooner than that?

Thanks Mopar!
