Are these a threat or not lightly modded?
OP; both Neon and Caliber SRT-4s are known to make mid-200s to the wheel for both horsepower and torque. All the while weighing a scant 2,900-3,100lbs. While they're not competition for today's pony cars, compared to a basic bolt-on 4V/stock Marauder, they should be considered a threat. The comment above about a stock Coyote putting a hurting on one, well yeah, but that's a 370-380rwhp (100rwhp more than you have, BTW) with the torque to back it up. Even then, a lightly worked N/C-SRT4 could make easy work of a stock Coyote.
Be careful and certainly don't race for money.
Very intelligent response, thanks brother. Where are you from in NC?
They can be quick, but I haven't seen worked ones at anywhere near the rate of the Neons.
Thanks man. Winston-Salem area.
Fayetteville here..
I had one try me twice at the strip. No contest. His mods were full exhaust, intake, tune, and something different to do with blow off valve.
