Is it any surprise they are selling as well as they are? Fairly cheap car price wise that can freaking fly. 
Lex what was the demographic of those 15 people who came with the SRT-4's?

Mopar tunes up SRT-4 --- Source: Autoweek
Mopar madness
Mopar, Chrysler’s longtime supplier of performance parts and accessories, has developed a range of tuner add-ons for the Dodge Neon-based SRT-4, including a turbo upgrade kit designed to push output past 300 hp from the 230-hp, turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder in the stock SRT-4. Three kits are offered for ’03 and ’04 models: Stage 1 ($399) that adds 10 hp; a middling Stage 2 upgrade ($999) that adds 30 hp to 50 hp; or the full-bore Stage 3 kit that nets 310 hp to 355 hp (depending on the options). Pricing for the Stage 3 goodies will be released this month.

Cost Drivers!!!!
wow not bad for a grocery getter. But for 20k i can find a used s2000......location permitting i'd rather have the s2k. moreover, that's a ton of power......getting it down has got to a royal PITA.

See at 355Hp you really need AWD (or RWD). I cant imagine the issues this car will have no matter what size or brand tires were used.

I'd probably go with the Stage 2 as anything above that would probably be pretty useless due to traction issues

Exactly, that car will be getting nowhere fast, and when it does hook up, torque steer will send it into the ditch.

Although the car is clearly based on the current Neon, the prototype shows the trademark Dodge nose design and gives some idea of the increased size of the Ford Focus rival. The new platform underpinning the car will be co-developed with DaimlerChrysler ally Mitsubishi (note the Grandis in the background) and it will also underpin the new ’06 Lancer. The car is registered in Germany, suggesting Chrysler engineers are getting help from their Mercedes-Benz counterparts in preparing the car for European sales.

Granted, Dodge may produce only 1,000. However, given its pressumed markup it could go for slightly less $$$ than a new Mustang GT. That said, I'd be hard pressed to get a Neon over an 05 GT for similar money.

I think they should have lowered it a bit though.
