Nah.. Yank the 2.0L DOHC, and drop in a 2.4L(from a PT)+Hahn stage II
turbo.. Now that's a pocket rocket.. That setup will put you in the same HP
range as the SRT-4 but in a car that is a couple of hundred pounds
lighter...The nice thing is the 2.4L bolts right up! No cutting, no muss,no
fuss.. Take it a step further take a jackshaft from a 2.4L Avenger(Mexican
build) and a pair of driver side halfshafts from a R/T.. No torque steer.
Add an intercooler and a 50hp shot of nitrous...
End result=A whole lotta burnt rice..
