The turbo version of the PT has the SRT4 engine. Advertises a few less
ponies, but I doubt it really makes less. Local show met with a guy with
one. Runs low 14s out of the box!! Not too shabby with a ton more styling
than a Neon IMO.

problems he had was due to the way his (ex)wife drove it. They got bad
mileage and bad wear out of the brake pads and rotors. I drove it a few
times, and had a rental for a week. I like them. The NA is a little weak,
but depends on what you looking for. If I had to have the speed I'd opt for
the SRT4 Neon.
