This is my point of veiw... officially, it is not a Neon, unofficially, it is a Neon. My first point, look at the chasis, it is is the same (if not extremely close) chasis of a Neon. They probably tweaked a few things with the chasis to make it handle better, but they have not changed it where the 2003 Neon's look completely different from the 2003 SRT-4's. Look at the interior of an SRT-4 and a Neon... the only few differences are mostly, merely cosmetic w/ exception of the seats and boost guage. Secondly, I have even had friends say, "Oh, that turbo Neon..." Even in magazines and reveiws, you'll see the authors calling it the Dodge Neon SRT-4. Even the dealers don't list the SRT-4 in their inventory as a seperate car. If you look (I think it was Maroone, FL) they listed it as Neon SRT-4. Thirdly, we all here know it derives from the grass roots of the Neon and Neon ACR. I think they did mention once (somewhere) that some people with Neon ACR experience were brought in to help in the creation of the SRT-4. It was also said somewhere that they used the Neon base as basis for the SRT-4. When tuners swap RX7 rotary engines into their Civics, do they still consider it a Civic merely b/c of it's body styling, or an RX7 b/c of it's engine? Same goes with NASCAR and dragsters with factory like body styles, even though underneath they are nowhere similar. What's the reason behind this name game... I believe as someone said earlier (please state yourself so you get proper credit :wink: ), that it's only for political and economical reasons. One, so people don't try to get these "Power Days" incentives mixed up and that Dodge doesn't lose money, and they are going to eventually replace the Neon line, read it somewhere on Allpar.com. Think of it as somewhat similar to the Pontiac Tempest/GTO. Before 1965, the GTO was a variant of the Tempest and then the GTO became it's own model; although in the Neon/SRT-4 case, SRT-4 will only be produced for a couple years. (But wouldn't we all love it if they kept making the SRT-4! 8) ) Anyhow, that's my of the whole Neon/SRT-4 name game. Offically, it's paper name is the SRT-4. Unofficially we all know it's is a Neon UNLESS some one can find EVIDENCE to prove otherwise. Personally, I like to call it Neon SRT-4 because it hurts to get beat by a Neon! :twisted: Please add your $0.02 and maybe we'll all come to a concensess. Wouldn't that be the day! lol
