Dodge SRT-4 sets new Bonneville speed record

[Kenazo]

I'm looking forward to an SRT-8 version of the Challenger. 😀

Now imagine if they rather shoe-horned the Viper's 10 into the Challenger for a limited edition SRT-10 🙂

They musta left the part about about how it blew up on the drive back to the trailer. 😀

Probably.. The Cobalt SS / SRT-4 are always doing battle for fastest FWD.

Looks like the Cobalt and Ecotec are back on top again. 🙂

246.849 mph

Theres NO WAY I'd do 200+ in a damn SRT.

 

[Rogodin2]

I didn't like my SRT-4.

But damn that's fast!

I still think the SRT4 engine in an Elise would be an f'ing BLAST.

ive always wanted to see an elise with the srt4 motor and transmission. that would be the best elise EVER.

 

[Rudee]

Burt Monroe would be impressed.

Likely cuz they haven't made too many rwd cars with 4-bangers in the past 30 years, ya know? 😉

Establishing the Dodge SRT4 as the fastest four-cylinder production car in the world.

That's a bit misleading. The car is not stock...it's not even close to stock.

 

[batmang]

did you not read the rules? they are allowed to modify the motor and suspesion, and thats it. either or, its faster then any other 4 cylinder thats competed. kudos to dodge yo.

That's my point. 700-800hp is nowhere near stock. They said they punched it out to 3.0l and must have done quite a bit to get it to that level of power output.

It is impressive but I still think that headline is misleading.

You can go as fast as you want, but it's STILL a Neon.

At least its not a Honda.

 

[batmang]

and must faster as well. 🙂

 

[jscarrozzo]

the srt-4 is not considered a neon. no where in sales brochures are they mentioned of being a one. They in fact have their own brochures. I was going to buy one when they first came out, but decided that a 20k car w/o rear power windows was a waste of money. The engine, and other drivetrain components are very well made, despite being cheap american crap.

700bhp in a FWD car? That's just utterly pointless. You people need to learn about corners.
