Like all Neon Registry production reports, the 2003 SRT-4 totals shown here are VIN-based, not sales or registration estimates. If a 2003 Neon SRT-4 was assigned a VIN, it is counted here, including pre-production, demo and test vehicles.
The 2003 model year was the first year for the Dodge Neon SRT-4, making it especially important to enthusiasts tracking early production changes, launch-year specifications and rare first-year color totals.
2003 cars are especially notable for unique PYH Solar Yellow, a color strongly associated with first-year SRT-4 production and one of the most recognizable shades offered on the platform.
Factory output for the 2003 Neon SRT-4 was rated at 215 horsepower from its turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, making it the lowest advertised horsepower version of the SRT-4 lineup, before later years received higher factory ratings.
Early 2003 cars are also notable because they did not include the Quaife limited-slip differential that enthusiasts commonly associate with later SRT-4 models, making launch-year cars mechanically distinct from later production examples.
