    Yep... It has the same motor as the Neon SRT-4 (although, it is de-tuned slightly.... mostly due to having a muffler).

    But it is just about as up-gradable. I don't think MOPAR makes any kits for it other then the S1, but I know a guy in San Diego with one that has a .50 trim turbo on it. 350+ hp on only 14 psi.

    With someone who has that many blue-boy titles in their DVD collection, I didn't put it past you.

    It's just "on loan", until my new vehicle gets here. :whistle:

    HAHAHAHA...nice car for the Mom.


    There are a few differences, intake, itercooler, etc...my Neon(05) stock was putting 220hp to the wheels, the Mrs GT Cruiser(04) is stock and putting down 185hp to the wheels. I'm sure that some of the difference is the auto-stick trans instead of the manual. But They can be uped just as easy as the neons. I think Nevins has got his up in the 250-260whp range right now.

    Ya know.... two days ago, when I had the top down on a beautiful Florida afternoon, it was pretty good! :sweat: The power isn't too bad.... I would classify it as "peppy". :bigwink: LOL! The little thing rides great on the highway, shifts smooth, and smokes the tires in 1st and 2nd with the traction control off. :grin: All around, it's a nice little car. Mom loves it! lol.

    Ya know... I've been driving this little car for about 6 weeks now. And, I have to say, I kinda like it. :dunno2: :blush: It's fairly quick, gets good gas mileage, and is comfortable. :) The convertible makes it COMPLETELY USELESS for carrying ANYTHING, tho :dumb:. ........ But, I might seriously have to find a hard top GT to keep around. In case I need to take something home that wont fit in the vette(s). :grin:
