First to turbo?

I would imagine that a Dodge Hornet with a turbo would be a pretty exciting vehicle to drive. Certainly would not be required in the first year of introduction, but possibly an SRT4 model after a year or so could be offered?

I'd really like to see that.

Hrmm, possibly unlucky! :)

would also be interesting to see if they did go with an SRT build up, if they would keep the 2.4 platform or redesign. The hornet would be the car to go with considiereing seems to be stiring up so much excitement...

i swear i see an intercooler in the front of that thing!

Yah, I think the concept was sportin' a turbo.

himmm..... How bout some AWD and an LSD?

how about hood struts...

lol watch... hybrid option only FTL!

y not go with a 6 cyl? an why haven't they done a srt6?

cause the engine would be heavier than the car :D

They are looking for fuel consumption. The 4 banger will be way better. Id like for them to stick with the 2.4T if they do that and not outsource the damn thing to nissan.

and they did produce an SRT-6. It is a supercharged 3.2 in the crossfire. it is an MB motor, and i can only imagine that it is ridiculously fast.

the 2.4T will be WAY to powerful for this car to handel....

I'd be looking down the lines of a 1.8T pumping out around 200 FWHP

I dunno, i think the 2.4T would be fine....maybe down to a 2.0T. I just hate to see a nissan motor go in this thing.

Am i the only one who thinks it looks like a scion Xa??

Looks like it could be a sweet contender to ride like a mini and kick ass like an SRT.

thats what i'm hoping. handle like a mini and have the power of teh srt on command.

hopefully its price pointed against it too... i think the versa is longer than the mini so hopefully they can shorten it up a bit

I don't see why not a 2.4, as long as the tranny and axles were built to handle it. I don't imagine the engine bay being very much bigger then an NSRT, so it would make it interesting. But it would tear down the strip for sure.

I couldn't imagine dropping a DCR motor into a car that size though. It'd pucker ya up, that's for sure. Needs to be rwd atleast though :D I would trade in the NSRT for sure.

Lets be fair, you can never have enough power :) If VW can squeeze a V10 into their GTI concept -- then Dodge could put a V8 in this if they wanted too :)

I wouldn't mind if it had a Nissan engine in it. Especially a turbo one..think back to the early 90's Japan only Nissan Pulsar GTi-R.

Nissan has made a ton of awesome turbo powered vehicles over the years.... they are no stranger to turbo power.

Oh yeah?

#69 Woot!

but to stay on topic, if they build it I will buy it.

You lucky dog! Did you plan that, wait for someone to hit 68 and then sign up! :icon_flaming:

I won't buy it unless it comes with a SRT Turbo version. Without the turbo it will be another SCION XB

Yeah thats true, but if it comes R/T, i will buy it for my wife.

I am going to have to agree with Admin on this one! You can never have too much power. It is like having too much money.

I mean Dodge put what, where???

But I would hands down buy a AWD Forced Induction Hornet. That would be so much fun!!! FWD is just too sketchy for my taste.

those cars are the ****. id love to drive one

I wonder why they weren't as successfull as the SRT-4 and SRT-8?

I too would love to drive one, but I don't think I've ever even seen one in person.

i havent seen one either but at the srt experience you get to drive one. one of my buddies went to it and loved it.

who wants to buy an old SLK?

I guess that's true.... but I'd still like to drive one.

I'll volunteer for that duty. The SRT6 that is. Used ones are a lot more affordable than the SLK.

Just put a smaller pulley on the huffer and you're in the 11's. RWD, LSD, 18" wheels, luxury interior, what's not to like? But automatic (Autostick) only.

Back on topic.... I would buy the Hornet without the turbo if it turns out to be well balanced and fun to toss around. Maybe I'm not making a popular comparison but it reminds me of an old style Civic SI in general concept. If the Hornet turns out as good or better, Dodge will sell a ton of them.

that comparison works for me, and hopefully they do sell a ton of them!

:IThankYou:

Nope, lol. I didn't even notice it untill others were pointing out theirs.

what no one liked the turbo omni??

Are you kidding me? I freakin LOVE those things, I'm having trouble finding one thats not too bad with the rust and in my price range, but I would kill for a ghl too.

I think they should keep the 2.4l theme going. It has been dominating in it's class since '03. The Caliber SRT-4 2.4l puts out 285hp, stock. Even though it is heavy, that's still a lot of ponies for the price you're paying for this car. I say keep the 2.4l.

omni's are perfect sleepers. a guy i knew had a somewhat fixed up 02 ss camaro that was just messin around with one not knowing what it was and got embarassed pretty bad. he took the next right.

that's the reason why i like the NSRT4 as well...people trash talk it, and it makes it even sweeter when it walks their super duper v-tak honda

This Thread Is Getting Jacked By The Ghost Of Boomboom... Since Boom Past Away From A Freak Turtle Accident His Ghost Is Now Here To Let You All Know.... He IS Still Watching!!!!

Just bumpin this for fun, did they build it yet?


LOL?!:notallthere:

NOPE. I doubt it'll ever be built anywhere near what the concept looked like.
