Thrills Without Bills: These Fast Muscle Cars Won’t Break The Budget

Dodge Neon SRT-4

We never considered the Neon SRT-4 to be a high-speed car but the little Neon can top 153 mph driven flat out. Introduced in 2003, the Neon SRT4 was one of the best and cheapest performance cars in America at the time (via Auto Blog).

The compact, inexpensive, and bland Neon was turned into a pocket rocket with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 230 hp, which propelled Neon from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds with a top speed high enough to get featured on this list.
