The SRT-4's times vary, it's mainly based on the drivers skills with a high powered turbo FWD. Motor Trend ran an '04 SRT-4 and it ran 0-60 MPH in 5.3 sec. and the 1/4 mile in 13.9 sec. @ 103 MPH. Most magazine tests run in the 13.9-14.3 range. I personally watched a few '03's running consistent 13.7's-13.9's at Norwalk and again at National Trails. There were also a couple Stage 1 cars running 13.0's-13.2's from the same group of SRT-4's. With these cars it's mostly a driver thing.

Driver and altitude, one of the Car and Driver tests was done at Englishtown NJ at sea level.

As for my car I can't say but like RT said it should easily be in the 15's. I swear some people really don't get the difference between a Gen1 DOHC 5spd Coupe and any of the Gen2's (except the SRT).
As for your 2.4 swap I'd love to see anything you've got. I've been planning a swap since long before I even had the car. Unfortuneately a limited budget and the fact that I have some other issues to address first, it's kinda on the back burner for now. However the more info I have when the time comes the better. Of course after the huge dents I discovered on the passengers side today maybe I shoul just sell it now and start over.

You'd sell the car over a dent? You do know that OEM body panels aren't that expensive and you can get aftermarket panels as well. Plus there are junkyards with plenty of Neons in them.

Not exactly just a dent. The whole pass side sill is crushed plus a dent in the quarter in front of the rear wheel. All from running over a lump of frozen snow in my driveway. Add that to the bad tranny, peeling paint and bad lifters and I could probably replace the car for the cost of repairs. That being said though, I love my car and will probably never sell it unless the right deal comes along on a twin of it.
