Dodge Neon SRT-4 Stage 3
So.. from what I can tell these cars are a 4 banger that in performance mod make 355 Horse and 385 Torque stock. Their also about 800 pounds lighter than my V8 (V8 = 3600, Neon = 2800). Someone was ripping around town in one and it moved so I was wondering if anyone raced one? Or driven one?

stage 3 is not stock. it has new injectors, tune, and even an upgraded turbo iirc.
and yes, they can be quick little buggers, but the srt4's can be a ***** to drive. do not roll race one unless you are just planning on admiring it drive away

Stage 3 is also rated at 300HP with the "toys package" and exhaust. With out the "toys package" the stage 3 is rated at 260. The SRT-4 is not 2800 pounds. Maybe a super base model neon. The SRT-4 is going to be some wear in the 3200 pound range give or take a few. If he is running over 350 at the wheels he would also be running a aftermarket turbo as the factory maxes out at a little over 300. Race from a dig or at a track and you should take him.

Well.. from the many SRT owners I've talked to they have a high octane mode, which pushes 355 and 375-385. And it was in some car mags I bought from the airport on my way through. High octane mode (higher psi on premium gas is what I collect from the magazines and owners) they go 355 and 385. And the passes for these stage 3's with only the stage 3 package is low to mid 12's. They guys throw on nitrous or a bigger intercooler/turbo and they hit 11's and 10's pretty easy. Plus a couple of the owners weighed them when they got them dynoed, and without the driver it's about 2900-3000 usually. The stage 3 that is, without driver. So they can't have to bad of traction issues. At least from a dig.
I forgot to mention the 355 and 375 is the "with toys" package. Without toys all the owners are saying around 340 and 355 or so.

OK the SRT-4 NEON stage 3 kit on race fuel with toys package and exhaust is rated at 355 at the crank or thats what they claim. A stage 3 srt-4 on normal fuel with out toys will but down around 260-280 at the wheels. And no that is not a 75 horse power drop keep in mind that 355 is on race fuel on higher boost with toys to control temps. Best case the neon will spin a little over 300 on the dyno on race fuel and pushing the boost limit. There is a reason mopar would not warranty the stage 3 package. Just my 2 cents.
