How many SRT4 neons are there?
The Dodge Neon SRT-4 was a limited, high-performance variant produced from 2003 to 2005. There is no single official tally published by Chrysler, but available estimates place total SRT-4 Neon production in the low-to-mid 20,000s, with figures commonly cited roughly between 15,000 and 30,000 units across all markets.
Understanding what counts as an SRT-4 Neon
The SRT-4 was a turbocharged, performance-tuned version of the Dodge Neon. It was offered primarily in the United States, with some units exported to Canada and other regions. The model is notable for its 2.4-liter turbocharged engine and for carrying the early SRT branding on a compact car. This limited production run contributes to its popularity among enthusiasts and collectors.
Production window and scope
Manufactured during the 2003–2005 model years, the SRT-4 Neon was built in relatively modest numbers compared with the base Neon. Chrysler did not publish a final, market-wide (VIN-based) total, which has led researchers, journalists, and hobbyists to rely on automotive press, dealership histories, and VIN registries to approximate totals.
Edition and market differences
Some markets saw small-run variants or option packages that can complicate counting exact units labeled strictly as SRT-4. When counting, sources may differ on whether certain export variants or limited-edition trims are included in the “SRT-4 Neon” total.
Common estimates cited by historians
Before presenting the ranges, note that there is no official final tally. The following figures are commonly reported in automotive reference material and enthusiast registries.
- North American production (2003–2005): commonly cited approximately 15,000–25,000 units.
- Global production (including Canada and select international markets): commonly cited approximately 20,000–30,000 units.
- Fan registries and some dealership tallies: occasional higher estimates that approach or exceed 30,000, but these are not official counts and vary by source.
These ranges reflect the absence of a definitive public total and the variation in how counts are attributed across markets and sources.
Why production numbers vary and what it means for collectors
The discrepancy stems from several factors: differences in market definitions, inclusion or exclusion of export variants and special editions, and the lack of a central, publicly released production log from the manufacturer. Enthusiasts and researchers often rely on VIN registries, dealership histories, and contemporary press materials to triangulate totals, but no definitive census exists.
Summary
In short, there is no universally agreed-upon official final count for how many SRT-4 Neons exist. Most credible estimates place the total output somewhere in the low-to-mid 20,000s, with typical ranges spanning about 15,000 to 30,000 units across model years 2003–2005. For an exact figure on a specific car, VIN verification and documented history from the selling dealer are the most reliable sources.
