No doubt, that thing is going to eat the other Sport compacts up. hell, I
drove a regular 01 neon R/T and was very impressed, not only with the power,
but the overall car. Feels totally different from the run of the mill Neon.
my only complaint? The steering needs to tilt higher, everytime I let off
the clutch, my knee would scrape the steering wheel. Oh, I think the 4.7
thing was a bit of sarcasm from he "other discussion :)

Actually it (the SRT) going to use a turbo, not the Eaton M-45 blower on the
2.4L. That setup will eat up any stock Dakota as well as run rings around it
in a turn. Out of the box a GenII Neon with a MTX pulls a decent mid 15sec
1/4mi. Not bad for a 4 banger. With a 50hp shot of NOS you're down in the
14's. Now what does a stock 4.7L or R/T do in a 1/4mi?? Don't get me wrong I
like both the Dak and Neon. But neither are the fastest around.. Case in
point I got my ass handed to me last night by a vintage Studebaker Avanti
last night (didn't realize he had the R4 setup underhood).
