Alright, Suz, what do you think? Would you still have ordered what you got?

Sad, since the first "true" SRT vehicle was a 4-cylinder. Viper already existed, and the Ram SRT-10 came a year later than the Dodge SRT-4...Darkpaw said:SRT Dart is not going to happen. Ralph Gilles said at SEMA last year that they will no longer do an SRT car with less than 8 cylinders.
Its not officially dead yet but hasnt been greenlite either. But I would look for 9spd, an R/T turbo, and a hybrid in the next 2-3 yearssrt4evah said:Sad, since the first "true" SRT vehicle was a 4-cylinder. Viper already existed, and the Ram SRT-10 came a year later than the Dodge SRT-4...
Yes. I wanted the 1.4L turbo.marlon_jbt said:Alright, Suz, what do you think? Would you still have ordered what you got?

V-8 2.4L with MDS so it's 1.2L some of the time. Red line 7000 rpm.Roy Thigpen said:A dart with a V8? Sounds good to me
Talk to Koni... they make the Internals to these FSD Shocks on the ABARTH.srt4evah said:Can someone explain how "frequency sensing dampers" work, and what the effect would be of having those over the standard suspension?
NOT TRUE. Ralph already debunked that rumor.Darkpaw said:SRT Dart is not going to happen. Ralph Gilles said at SEMA last year that they will no longer do an SRT car with less than 8 cylinders.
The ones on the Dart are made by MM.BigDaddySRT said:Talk to Koni... they make the Internals to these FSD Shocks on the ABARTH.

No doubt, someone misconstrued something he had originally said. Certainly Chrysler isn't making any sub V8 SRTs RIGHT NOW. But I can't see them limiting themselves to that. Especially with past predictions of a tubo'd pentastar.Moparian said:NOT TRUE. Ralph already debunked that rumor.
Something along the lines of a Focus ST, Mazdaspeed 3 that out preforms them at a similar price point ~$24,000bumonbox said:No doubt, someone misconstrued something he had originally said.

Assuming that a D-RWD Midsized sedan is in fact on it's way for Dodge, I have a hard time not seeing them doing an SRT version of it, and I don't forsee them giving up the "real estate" in the design to shoehorn the hemi into it (I could easily be wrong on that account). So, really, if it is to come to pass, I would imagine them bringing forth a turbo'd V6 down the road.
As far as the Dart goes, I actually think it would benefit more from an R/T turbo as mentioned about. Something with not a huge price bump that keeps it more accessable to the mainstream and boosts the Dart performance image. Something offering around the output of the Neon SRT-4. That would likely see decent sales. And if they can price it right, it would be a hot ticket item. Perhaps though, they are waiting to use the proposed hurricane engine - which might allow them to offer that performance and still do decently on MPG. That could make it a pretty hot car.
With the FSD suspension it shouldnt be too stiff during normal driving.....PCRMike said:I drove a 1.4T, now I gotta drive one of these. I WILL own a 2.4 Dart, just a question of which one. If the GT is too stiff for daily comfort, I would go with another trim, but the chassis feel was awesome on the SXT I drove.
