For Sale: 2004 SRT-4, Mopar Stage 3R, 330+ FWHP, One Owner
My old pal and competitor Big Nick Pearson is selling his 2004 SRT-4. He bought it about half a year after my first wife took delivery of hers, and he's the sole owner. Details and photos after the jump.
Nick sez:
The Good
2005 Neon SRT-4, Orange Blast Original owner. Took delivery direct from car carrier with one mile on the odometer. Mopar Stage 3 Kit with Turbo Toys Stage 3 coilovers Hotchkis Sway Bars, front and rear DC Strut Tower Braces, front and rear 17” Mille Miglia Wheels Mopar 3” Cold Air Intake 3” Catless Down Pipe 3” Exhaust to Magnaflow Muffler ACT Clutch Maddog Short Throw Shifter 30psi Boost Gauge Viper style seats Factory installed Kicker Sound System 339WHP on HOM mode, untuned.

The Bad
The throw-out fork needs to be replaced. This affects high RPM shifting from first to second and downshifting from third to second to first. I simply short shift from first to second and do not bother downshifting beyond third until vehicle is at a complete stop. I’ve been driving it this way for years with no issues. Loud rattle noise coming from trunk area(?) when driving over bumps. No idea what is loose or causing this. Needs new tires 135,xxx miles
The Ugly
Severe clear coat damage to rear spoiler and rear bumper. Clear coat damage beginning on hood. Boost gauge housing is cracked. Dashboard crack. Driver seat pleather is cracked. Bad ding on left rear door and one small, slight depression on left front fender. Normal amount of debris chips in paint for age/mileage.

Nick's asking $7500. I don't think you'll go faster for less money. If anybody has any interest, post below and I'll reach out. And since I owe Nick a bunch of favors, I'll toss in a freebie of my own here: I'll meet the buyer of this car at any race track in the 48 states to coach him for a trackday, and I'll cover all my own expenses. So if you've ever wanted to try romping down the back straight of VIR at 150mph --- in a Neon --- then this is your chance to do it!
