You are bidding on a 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4,
For those of you viewing this auction that know about the SRT4 the car needs no introduction but, for those of you that may need some info to brush up on the SRT4 Neon I have included some links below so you can get familiar with this model to better understand what they were all about and what made them so special. Before you take the time to view the links let me tell you about this SRT4's story & condition, if I miss anything that you may still be wondering about please feel free to contact me I will answer questions as soon as I see them. 1-920-680-7629 ask for Tony Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck to all bidders!! Condition of this SRT4: For the most part the pictures speak for themselves, this is as new as it gets and honestly as nice as the pictures are, this car is sooo much nicer in person! It has lived the pampered life of a garage queen stored inside of a heated garage covered and only used as a car-show/sunny weather toy. It has been adult owned since new and been maintained as a future collectible vehicle as I believe the SRT4 Neon is the last of its kind... When I say that I don't just mean the last of the 03-05 SRT's I mean the last of the pure driver focused sport compact cars devoid of excess electronic gadgets that have created 3000+ pound tanks out of what used to be a market segment that was all about being lite & nimble. (ok rant complete LOL) This is a accident free vehicle and the paint on this car is all original it's free of dents, dings, scratches and paint chips. This car has NEVER been driver in rain, snow or any other bad weather. All of the trim and weather stripping are in like new condition with ZERO discoloration, cracks or wear. The door sills are scuff free and all of the badges are PERFECT and like new! Inside the car the seats are like new and the carpets have always been covered by heavy-duty all weather floor mats to catch any debris that might otherwise be tracked into the car. The original floor mats have never been used and are included with the car when it sells. The dash, door panels, center-consul and head liner are also in perfect like new condition... That is only part of the WOW factor of the interior, what will really impress is that "New Car Smell" that hits you when you open the door and the airbag warning tag still hanging from the glove box that I have resisted cutting off since owning the car! The engine bay is super clean with no dirt or damage all of the factory markings on the shocks, airbox, fuse cover etc... are original and in place as if the car just rolled off the assemble line! (in the pictures you can see the added Mopar strut tower brace, I will cover the vehicles modifications below.) The trunk of this car is in like new condition the jack and spare tire have never been used and the carpet in the trunk has always been protected by the heavy-duty rubber trunk mat. All 4 wheels on the car are in new condition and free of any curb rash or damage of any kind and the BFG KDW tires are the factory original rubber with no signs of cracking or age to be found. All of the electronics in the car work like new and all of the buttons/switches are void of any wear. The stereo sounds fantastic and accepts multiple CD's, the heat/AC heats quickly and cools quickly, the power windows open & close quickly and the wipers etc work like new. Mechanically the car is as you would guess perfect and functions like new the oil is regularly changed even when not being driven and the engine is regularly started and brought up to operating temp to keep the seals from failing. When in extended storage the fuel is never more than 1/4 tank full and stabil is added to keep the fuel fresh. When in extended storage the battery is also disconnected and put on a batter tender.. The battery in the pictures is a new mopar battery that was recently replaced... I had to learn that one the hard way. LOL! All in all I can't stress enough how nice this car is or how rare it is to see a SRT4 in this condition! These are drivers cars commonly used to autocross, street race, drag race etc... and finding one that has not been abused is getting increasingly difficult. If you are a fan of fast turbocharged sport compact cars and looking for the best of the best this is the one you want!! (IMPORTANT NOTE! 2005 SRT4's have a factory Limited Slip Diff for better traction and they also have increased Horsepower over 2003 SRT4's) (Also included with the sale of the car is all paper work for the car, owners manuals, window sticker, original bill of sale, letters from Dodge to original owner, brochure, receipts for maintenance & Mopar accessories etc... and all the original parts that were replaced with Mopar performance upgrades) Story behind this SRT4's low miles: I'll keep this as short and sweet as I can because I know I have alot of info to read through already... The car was purchased new by a friend of mine as a college graduation gift for his son, my friend at that time was the service manager at the Dodge dealer the car was purchased from. It was prepped special from the dealer with the Mopar performance Strut tower bars front & rear, lowering springs, sway bars, rear end-links, short throw shifter, gauges and BOV. (all modifications are Mopar parts and only Mopar parts installed by certified Dodge technicians) The car was kept at the dealer as it was finished early and was to be a surprise on graduation day. 2 weeks before graduation day my friends son got a letter of acceptance to a very large engineering firm that included with employment a sign on bonus... With that bonus my friends son picked up a used 911 Porsche (his dream car) not knowing that his dad had purchased this SRT4 for him. It sounds bad I know but it actually worked out ok because my friend is kind of a turbo Mopar/Mitsubishi geek from way back (he owned a couple turbo colts, a Conquest TSI, and aOmni GLHS over the years) so he kept the car for himself until finally selling it to me to finish the restoration on one of his British cars and I have been keeping it as a garage queen ever since. Additional Information about Dodge's SRT4 Neon: (see text & links below) Power: SAE 215 hp (2003
model) Power: SAE 230 hp (2004–2005 models) In 2004, the SRT-4
received a power increase, with larger fuel injectors and a recalibrated engine
computer. Manufacturer's specification when the SRT-4 was released was
230 hp. However, several independent tests have produced results indicating
230-238 wheel horse power and 250-262 lb-ft. This would indicate that the SRT-4 produces more
power than the manufacturer claims. The flywheel power is estimated to be around
265-270 hp and around 285-300 lb-ft. Torque: 245
lb·ft @ 3200-4200 rpm (2003 model) 250 lb·ft @ 2400-4400 rpm (2004–2005 models) 0-60 mph time: 5.6s

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power
Tue, 21 May 2013A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.
Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?
