2004 Dodge SRT-4

The present-day horsepower race is not only going on with supercars and SUVs. It's happening throughout the automotive industry. Imagine if, 10 years ago, Toyota would have introduced a 170 hp Corolla; or if Nissan had decided to launch a 175 hp Sentra. How would they have compared to the cars available at the time? One thing is for sure; had they existed, they would have blown away cars such as the very peppy 1995 Volkswagen Passat (which had a 172 hp V6 engine) or the ever-so muscular 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 (which had a 210 hp DOHC V6 engine) right out of the water. They would have seemed pathetic compared to the compacts. Now, take that same logic and apply it to a Neon, but this time, turbocharge it to get 230 hp. Well, this time it is a reality and Dodge is the one to have done it by introducing the SRT-4. This vehicle is on the forefront of the power war and this is only the beginning... The tested 2004 Dodge retails for 27 875$ including the sunroof.
