Looks like turbo's are in...

"DaimlerChrysler’s internal debate over whether to supercharge or turbocharge the PT Cruiser is decided: Look for a turbo version of the stock 150-hp, 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder to debut in 2002. As previously reported, the turbo PT will likely be dubbed GT Cruiser.
Company officials confirm that a turbo PT Cruiser will hit the streets before another as-yet-unspecified production model appears in spring 2003 powered by the same engine. The turbo engine produces as much as 215 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque (vs. 162 lb-ft normally aspirated)."

215hp/240hp? not bad...not bad at all... :cool:
 
Or couldn't they have put the engine from the SRT-4 in the PT Cruiser????
 
Yeah took me a minute to realize it was from '01. I was like "Why the hell would he create a thread about this?"

Bump for a completely pointless dead thread!
 
whats an SRT-4? Is that the concept they showed this year at the 2001 Detriot auto show?
 
^^ turbo + Neon = SRT 4
