c'mon guys.. Dodge just didn't "slap" a turbo in the car.. the engine has been heavily engineered to put out this kinda power. And yes, Dodge could make an all-motor SRT if they wanted to with similar numbers, but that kinda of time and research would put the car out of the price market

and i agree with DakarM.. if a turbo is cheating, than so is VTEC and all other turbo systems.. so a twin turbo Z or supra is stupid and Nissan and Toyota were cheating to get the numbers???

and this 4cyl has been around a while, this was the engine that has been in neons before, in the stratus, and is in my PT Cruiser.. its just been re-engineered to handle this extra horsepower.. ive got 55K on my Cruiser, and no problems yet.
