    Lot's of people don't know they exist... It's baically the SRT-4(neon) package crammed into a PT Cruiser body (2003 and up), they are also offered with an autostick & traction control.

    I had lot's of fun with mine (an auto), with only a Stage 1 PCM, modded air box, BOV, and exhaust mods.

    Those mods put the car about even with a stock SRT-4 ( the PT is a heavier car & has a more restricted intake)

    2003 and up Dream Cruisers also have the same drivetrain.

    Buahahahahahaha...now I gotta meet some PT guys, to find out what's been done to the Mrs car. IDK, but I suspect the Magnaflow exhaust, and the airraid intake are not stock.

    I own a 2004 gt cruiser 4 speed auto stick with a 2.4 t and traction control...my aunt owned it brand new till a few weeks ago I took ownership...I love it..it has leather and fully loaded..I've installed wheels, cold air intake and a muffler as of right now, till I go d more info on what I want to do for new turbo and exhaust system. I am also looking to tune it and meth injection....
    Anything I need to know before building on this platform would be greatly appreciated..
    I've recently owned and built
    1999 Ford svt contour- heavily tuned
    1996 Sun fire gt- fully built motor with nitrous
    2005 Chevy cobalt s/c With meth injection mild internals added to motor...

    Not new to cars and tuners but always preferred the unusual models and built them to my preference.....I have quite a few projects in the works in the next few weeks....

    For tuning i would suggest the Diablo Sport tuner you can find it at Modern Performance There are a few threads in here that explain what is available for mods on the PT. I will first say there is no aftermarket intercooler for the PT, if you want one you'll have to make it. and theres a thread explaining what you would need for sizes behind the narrow bumper.
