    A lot of hardcore dodge fans are mad that they named it the dart, but it's a fitting name for the car and how it handles. It really is dart like, very front heavy, and very easily pointed and precise.

      Its a 2.0L with a huge turbo pushing 30+ boost. Upgraded pistons, cam, crank, rockers, valves, fuel pump, fuel rail and injectors, straight pipe exhaust. They took out everything they don't need, AC, blower motors, seats and removed the whole stock dashboard. They cut through the bottom to make room for the AWD system and used a Serev Gearbox and differential, racing drive shaft, suspension system, roll cage, bigger calipers and brakes, hydraulic pullback handbrake.
      I'm sure I'm still only cutting the surface but this car cost $200K. It would be fun to build but its not even close to street legal. I wish dodge would have at least made AWD 300+HP SRT Dart before they ended production. That would've been nice, plus I want the luxury of A/C. 😂

    I honestly doubt there's another athlete that's had even near the success of Travis Pastrana, and he's done it in so many disciplines whether it was doing tricks on bikes or racing bikes and automobiles in various situations. This guy is incredible, and seems like a heck of a nice guy too.

  • @1Obearz
    @1Obearz 11 лет назад +2

    I figured that the Dart would have some advantages on the track with the longer wheel base, and it is a newer platform than the other rally cars, so that probably can say something about production. Every rally car setup has its pros-and-cons. The Dart is bigger so it's like a bully, though it's also a bit slower than the Fiesta. IMO I'd take the production Dart GT over the Fiesta ST any day.

  • @Shadowsoken
    @Shadowsoken 11 лет назад

    Nah, bro, if you listen to the car itself, Pastrana's Dart sounds like its either supercharged or turbo'd. The difference between the Neon and the Dart is the whole line of updates in engine, electronics, and chassis they put in the Dart.

  • @CollinsMbu3
    @CollinsMbu3 11 лет назад

    It's mostly still a front wheel drive based car, similar to a Subaru or Audi's system. It's less likely they changed the engine into a longitudinal position.
    Anyway, there would still be weight issues that are solved by moving the radiator and other things backward. That will also help with weight distribution over the rear axle, increasing traction.

    • @1mawesomel1kethat
      @1mawesomel1kethat 3 года назад

      fun fact Subaru's awd system is symmetrical so it is fully 50/50 so you are wrong on that and as for Audi's depends on what time period you are talking about because in the 80's Audi's awd system was rwd based.

The SRT-4 will hopefully be pretty quick but from what i understand it's only available with a manual trans. Just don't wanna drive stick on a daily basis, that would get old after a while.

    If they had made an actual Dart that competed with the STi, Si, or even the Cobalt SS, it would sold better. But they did not do a performance trim..it was a Neon but no SRT4.
