I also drove a 2004 Mazda6s w/ 5 speed, not impressed with low end power. Everything else seemed ok. Also drive a 2005 Altima 3.5 SE with automatic (no 5 speed was available). It seemed ok but I'm only interested in a 5 speed. Apparently these are very difficult to get.
Any word on when the 2005 SRT-4 is due out? Any word on (or links about) changes from the 2004 model year? Especially with respect to power changes and factory power rear windows.
I'd like to get a new car sooner rather than later but I don't mind waiting a bit to get a better vehicle.
Thanks.

- Comming from the WRX forum, the Subaru and dealer sold upgrades have a very similiar disclaimer.
As the people on this board have indicated this is wording by Dodge's lawyers to protect Dodge from responsibility if your car does not meet the state's environmental specs as a result of the upgrades. Also means that Dodge has no other responsibility from mis-use of the upgrades as well.
With that said, I would expect many Dodge dealers to sell the upgrades anyway (even install them) since this disclaimer means they can use the "track racing" excuse.
Talk to your dealer, or one that offers these power upgrades.
For performance for the price the SRT-4 is a bargain.
For the 2005 SRT-4, no changes other than the following:
1. One color dropped (conflicting answers as to which one), one color added (orange).
2. 7 year powertrain warranty no longer included, powertrain is only covered through the 3yr/36K bumper-to-bumper warranty.
3. Up to an $800 price increase.
4. 2005s are to be built starting sometime in July, showing up at dealerships either August or September (depending on what site you're viewing)
5. Dodge's customer support email service says they have no information at all about the 2005 SRT-4. Must be some kind of state secret or something.
That's all I've found out so far.
I can't find any major differences in specs or features.
Now I am a college student, and I am very sensitive in $$$.
Please tell me which year of SRT-4 is worth to buy? or any other recommendations...
No problems so far with the replacement.
To answer another question. . . Dodge has produced a slick document with pictures and diagrams to help techs find mods and void warranties. Here's some text:
Wastegate Actuator
Perhaps the most popular method is to modify the
turbo’s wastegate actuator to keep it closed longer,
increasing the amount of boost. The engine will
want more fuel – but the system may not be able to
keep up. This can result in spark knock, which the
engine controller will attempt to compensate for.
Wastegate actuator modifications can often result in
catastrophic engine failures such as burned pistons,
blown head gaskets, turbo overspeeding, and
bearing damage. They often set certain fault codes
(P1188, P0234, P0068).
This is followed by aforementioned examples and pictures...
Oops!
Does anyone know the numbers on these, and how much boost i can run?
Thanks
Is the power train still 7/70 I heard Doge was lowering to 3/36 across the board.
Rumored 6-speed on all Neons ?
Did Neon finally get power rear windows and a remote gas cap ?
SRT-4 motor will work in 1st gen, my old 1st gen NYG now is running around with a SRT-4 motor in it. Not mine anymore, I've moved onto AWD. Check out the website with the word neons in the name, a decent number of folks have done it.
