Some automotive enthusiasts were singing along with popular band "Green Day" late last year, as they watched a piece of history, become history. "Wake me up, when September ends" They sang, as the fall season brought production of the Dodge Model SRT-4 (Neon) to a closing. It was time for the release of the Dodge Caliber, a replacement for the neon, which was eagerly welcomed by some, and despised by others. Regardless of which side of the fence you were on, any automotive enthusiast is excited when a new forced induction vehicle comes out. Get ready for the release of the Dodge Caliber SRT-4, Can it live up to the awesome SRT reputation?

As popular trends in the industry are constantly changing, so must the mindset of the PVO (Performance Vehicle Operations) designers. For a few years, there has been a market demand for "Boy racer" exterior appearance packages, including OEM body-kits, and agressive rear spoilers. It eliminated the need to spend thousands of dollars in the aftermarket to drive something you were happy with right off the lot. You knew upon getting into an SRT-4 (Neon) that you were buckled down to a machine that could thrill you, impress your friends, compete at the local track, and win car shows for the sticker price. Thats a heck of a reputation to uphold, but the PVO team was up to the challenge. As the market leans towards more power hungry enthusiasts, and the need for a little more space as larger vehicles become more popular at this time, the Dodge Caliber SRT-4 was the answer, to the popular calling.
