The Dodge Neon SRT-4 designers

There is an amazing amount of Turbo dodge loving engineers that put into this project. The SRT was truly built by automotive enthusiast which I think is rare these days with so many engineers that don't even like cars or designing them..

I really like the blue dash paint and autozone shifter knob on the concept car.

I like how the original drawings show a first gen r/t called a glh. I wonder what Shelby thought of that

Yeah, I need to put some GLH emblems on mine. NEON GOES LIKE HELL!

I remember seeing the black concept car with it's Supercharger and thinking "They really need to ditch the SC and put a turbo on that thing" I think the SC was rated at 195hp or so. I was glad to hear they went with the turbo.

Yeah, would be cool if you had the GLH decals on it. SRT emblems would be too much of a giveaway.

I think they might have thought that that's what the competition were doing at the time
