Are there any good rumors for this?
My wife does not like -big- cars, but
is not too fond of Neons. If we could
get a performance Stratus, that would
be most excellent.

I think the concept "Charger RT" is based on the stratus platform... That car (4 door, but not too big) looks very pleasing, and is supposed to be supercharged.

Wether it will actually be produced, well... I dont think anyone has that answer yet It probably depends on how well the SRT-4 and its' cousins sell.

I like the way the 4-doors work on the Charger concept.
Just like the 4-doors on the upcoming new Mazda RX-8.
You do not have a huge 4-door car, but you do get the
easier access to the rear seats. The size of those seats
is another matter.

Ummmmm, the Charger is the replacement name for the Intrepid, it's gonna be a Mid-Size/Large car the size of an Intrepid built on a Mercedes platform. 4 doors = cheaper insurance

Well there is a turbocharged Stratus available in Mexico. I don't recall if it's a four banger or a V6 though. Crap. If it's a 4 banger than there goes my point.

But if it is a V6, than it wouldn't be much of a stretch to bring it to the US and slap the SRT-6 name on it.

Here is some more info on the SRT-6 from Stratusphere.

I sure as 'ell hope they produce a stratus sedan srt-6. I love my current 2.7liter strat, and the very same engine has been used in concept cars with an added supercharger....*drool* I'd like to see it supercharged just for the instant power...but I suppose I could "adjust" with a turbo also... :twisted:

I believe that is the same 2.4L four banger that Chrysler is bringing to the US. They had the turbo in the first gen Stratus believe it or not.

Yup the Meximelt Stratus Turbo is a 2.4 Turbo. Its more or less the same engine that we will be getting in the SRT-4. One of the main differences is that the SRT-4 has that integrated turbine housing in the exhuast manifold, while the Turbo Stratus has/had a regular exhaust manifold with a standard garrett flange. Other small things include more cast in block reinforcements on the new 2.4 Turbo and slightly different port sizes.

You mean the Daytona Charger SRT-8? It is based on the 300 chassis. Expect to see this car in 05 model year with a Whipple supercharger unit.

SEMA was the Stratus R/T version-expected in 04 1/2

It was at SEMA last year from PVO. The Stratus according to an insider said, it should be in the showroom by 2004 (may-june timeframe).

The output expect is around 260-265HP (turbo). Not much from a heavier car though.

i havent heard anything about the srt-6, but this looks more promising for the stratus anyhow. would love to have this stratus in my driveway

My friend up the street - MOPAR FANATIC - has a red Stratus R/T. I told him to hang on to his car until the SRT-6 shows up. Parts galore to add to his existing vehicle. :wink:

However, it looks like the same motor in the SRT-4 with 250HP (or is that at the FW-LOL). If that is so, what is difference?

 

[thehemi]

I would rather have a 250-hp NA V6 in a Stratus.

 

[Whitey]

hemidakota - it says they are going to push the boost higher. so i guess that pushes the hp up to 250. and i like the fact they say they would be able to push it even higher with out much effort. i might just hold off on the srt-4 untill chrysler decides this cars fate.

I have been hearing it maybe a V6 3.7 hemi turbo (td-05 turbo), 320HP, 360lbs of TQ, version to fill a gap.

 

[lifeisdeath]

wow, took you long enough to reply to that one!! :lol:

Had to look at old rumors files now that www.car-truck.com is down forever.

Missed buzzes daily insider report.
