Stock for stock they aren't as far apart as you might think. Remember the Caliber is FWD and has trouble with traction off the line. If it could pull a 1.8 60 ft stock, it would be much easier to get a low 13 at 102ish. Neon SRT-4's with slicks (aka traction) pull low 13's.
They take to mods like crazy, just like any other turbo car. ESPECIALLY spray.
Here is one with only a 50 shot (maybe a drop in filter) staying side-by-side with a well modded SRT-4 Neon.
It would do quite well against a bone stock SRT-6. From a roll they'd probably put 1/2 car or more on it.

From a dig, obviously, it would be advantage Rear Wheel Drive.

Since the bottom of the market fell out and all the people that have wouldn't know class if it bit them on the tucus have bought them and have the gawl to compare them to cars such as the "tin can Dodge Caliber".
It is so sad to see the car ONLY compared in quarter mile times against hondas and the likes. This car was intended to compete with Porches and the likes, NOT RICE BURNING STREET RACERS!
Let the "Ricers" and the "Neon Ground Effects Lovers" grow up, if you have patience they in time will catch up to your Crossfires.
Man, what a terrible post. The price point is on par with a Porsche, but it sure as hell isn't a Porsche. Neons and Calibers are at 20-25K price points, but compete performance wise with cars twice the price, just like our SRT-6's go out there and drag some very expensive cars.
YOU are the reason why people buy FWD SRT-4's and go mod them. To wipe the smug look off of "more sophisticated" owner's faces.
The Ego some of you guys have is completely laughable.
