Dodge released photos of its new Caliber SRT-4 it plans to unveil later this morning in Chicago. No wimpmongers, them, they've created a 300hp monster that completely obliterates memory of the Neon family it replaces, even in its own SRT trim. How'd they do it? Nope, not a Hemi. All that juice — including sub-six-second zero-to-60 tiimes — comes from a turbocharged and otherwise tricked-out version of the company's 2.4-liter four-banging world engine. Oh, did we mention it's four-wheel-drive. Yep. Did someone say LS6 Cobalt? [Update: Sorry kids, 4WD was just a rumor. It's front-wheel.]
