I currently have an SRT-4 and Crossfire coupe (N/A) in my driveway, and after driving the Crossfire daily when I drive the Neon I find myself caught between a rock and a hard place. The power that thing puts down and acceleration make it a very fun and enjoyable ride, however, I am not and would not consider trading my Crossfire for ANYTHING right now. I'm as happy as can be with one of each in the drive.
BTW the SRT-4 is a stock (non-staged) running 3 inch turbo back, K&N cold air, BC sport coilover suspension, and a short throw shifter. I deleted the ECU controlled boost solenoids and it's holding 17-18 psi in all 5 gears. In other words it's a little four cylinder beast.
I am not knocking the SRT4. I am just saying I would never trade the Crossfire for one. I may buy the SRT4 on the side but would never give up a crossfire for one. The SRT4 is powerful (I am aware of that) but it is an economical 4 door sedan that looks like most cars out on the street. It is a practical car.
The SRT4 is like the newer GTO. It looks like a cavalier with a beast engine (not that there is anything wrong with a Cavalier). But you expect a car like that with so much power to have a unique shape or different visual appearance. Something that makes it look like a sports car with a body worthy of such an engine.
