I doubt it, but would be super pumped if its there! (I'm going to the Detroit show again this year)

I'm expecting to see a rt and maybe an aero. The rt will prolly be mopar modded.

Just my guess

I saw the option to order the aero on the dodge site the other day so you can at least config one but to be honest, you sacrifice a lot of options to get those couple extra mpg IMHO. I would agree the RT will probably come out next and probably the SRT a year later.

Anyone notice that an SRT Dart isn't hinted at until 2016 on the new Chrysler plan?

Boo.

 

[Christopher Judson]

Well the aero just came out and the GT and mopar are next. Too many models too fast?

 

[Stratuscaster]

Or the bits and pieces to make it SRT simply are not ready yet.

I think the engine is a big missing part right now. I don't think they want to put the old Caliber SRT engine into the Dart and the Pentastar likely won't fit.

It isn't officially hinted.. It's what Allpar perdicts.. It might will be the new SRT 300..

Didn't mopar fit a v6 into a neon but it never went into production???? Or am I making stuff up?

 

[pjfsu331]

As reported here on Allpar, the SRT Dart is delayed indefinitely. Boo.

Rumor has it that they are reengineering it to take a Hemi v8...
Nah. It's they don't have a suitable power train.

I've seen a couple threads on other sites of people cramming the 3.3L V6 into a first generation Neon.

 

[Dave Z]

Yeah, and you can find Reliants with the Turbo III engine, but that doesn't make it a good idea

(And yes, I'd LOVE a Reliant with the Turbo III.)

If the Cherokee is based on the Dart platform, why can't the Pentastar fit for an SRT?

How did the weight issue go with that one? I assume the handling went down a bit.

I'm thinking they probably made the nose a bit longer on the Cherokee.

 

[chuzz]

Hey Suzq, How are you enjoying your Dart? I test drove a couple and really liked them, but got a Chrysler 200 instead. Got a better price on it and it's got a tad more rear leg room.

 

[pjfsu331]

Yes, PLEASE!

Let the wild, unmitigated speculation resume.
