### **2003-2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4**
The **2003-2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4** is a high-performance version of the Dodge Neon compact car produced by DaimlerChrysler during the early 2000s. It was developed by Chrysler's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division, a subsidiary responsible for producing performance-oriented vehicles.
The Neon SRT-4 was powered by a highly modified version of Chrysler's 2.4-liter "Neon Engine," a four-cylinder engine that was originally designed for use in the standard Neon.

The transmission featured a close-ratio gearset for improved acceleration, and it was also equipped with a limited-slip differential to improve traction when cornering.
The Neon SRT-4's suspension was extensively upgraded over the standard Neon. It utilized a sport-tuned suspension with stiffer springs and dampers, as well as larger anti-roll bars. The suspension was designed to provide a balance of handling and comfort, and it helped the car to achieve a higher level of performance on the road and track.
The car's brakes were also upgraded, with larger rotors and calipers, as well as a high-performance brake pads. This resulted in improved stopping power and reduced brake fade during extended use.
