Dan Kuikman has owned his Dodge Neon SRT-4 since it was new off the showroom floor, but the folks at Dodge never could have imagined the SRT-4 at this level. Since taking ownership, Kuikman has overhauled every part of the car, bringing the power to more than triple its factory numbers, and changing its looks inside and out.
