„Engineers in Chrysler Group’s Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO) have been tweaking the whip-snapping performance of the award-winning 2003 Dodge SRT-4 model. Transferring what they learn on the street in their own cars to those coming off the assembly line, PVO engineers have refined the engine calibration of the 2.4-liter intercooled turbo in the 2004 Dodge SRT-4 and boosted the output to 230 horsepower (172 kW) at 5,300 rpm and 250 lb.-ft. (339 Nm) of torque from 2,200-4,400 rpm.“

„When asked about plans to move up to LMP1, Kristen mentioned that the whole idea behind Porsche's success in racing is that the cars are accessible to customers. In some cases the race versions are even built alongside the street cars.
