That is 
The SRT-4's were not built from the ground up. They were based off the already existing 2nd generation Neon platform, as were the PT Cruisers and the Caliber. All Dodge did was to take the shadetree mechanic's already proven concept of swapping in the Stratus 2.4L with turbo setup and throw big money engineering at it to make it commercially available instead of a project car. They also beefed up the suspension, transmission, added bigger rims and brakes, etc.
No matter, as it was based off of the Neon platform. Hence, the reason why in the last years before the Neon was replaced by the Caliber,the Neon was available with the SRT-4 upgrades as an OPTIONS package.

Re: srt4 at select wheels is a POS
the SRT-4 uses the neon chassis. the Stratusfear was a concept car that failed, therefore the idea was re used but not the same drivetrain the SRT-4 ended up with. The SRT-4 program was spearheadd by one man who sketched a concpet and presented it to dodge exectives for permission to build a concept vehicle. they agreed, and with a small team they developed and tested the car and recieved a production green light from dodge. the engine, tranny, suspension brakes everything are unique from the ground up and not taken from the neon. the SRT-4 was built, marketed and sold as simply the Dodge SRT-4, with no use of the neon name. it was NOT and option package on the neon.

Re: srt4 at select wheels is a POS
In 2003, Cory O'Brien and Erich Heuschele drove an SRT-4 to a 1st in class and 8th overall finish in the Tire Rack Cannonball One Lap of America.
In SCCA ProRally racing, the SRT-4 (and more recently the ACR version) has dominated the Group 5 (2WD) class since 2003. In just its first year competing, the Dodge ended the stranglehold that the FWD DSMs and Volkswagens had on the class. With three entries competing the following year, the SRT-4 won every 2004 series race and end-of-season award. The SRT-4 has won every Group 5 and 2-Wheel-Drive class championship in US ProRally and Sno Drift since 2003, and its unprecedented dominance in 2004 helped Dodge earn its first US ProRally Manufacturers Championship in 28 years.
In 2005, Jeff Lepper drove the SRT-4 to its first ever national road racing win in the NASA US Touring Car Championship at California Speedway in Fontana.
In 2005, Dale Seeley, Kolin Aspergren, and Jamin Cummings drove an SRT-4 to a 1st in class and 8th overall finish in the Tire Rack Cannonball One Lap of America.
In 2006, the Dodge SRT-4 officially become the world's fastest production 4-cylinder car, averaging 221 mph (356 km/h) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in a car built by Dave Harris and Phil Hurst for Racedeck Racing. When the SRT-4's power plant was put on the engine dyno, it had surpassed well over 1,000 horsepower (1,087 hp/811 kW) without the aid of nitrous oxide (N2O) The car used the stock body, transmission, engine block, and even crankshaft while running in excess of 235 mph (378 km/h) during the run.
Multiple SRT-4s were raced in the SCCA SPEED World Challenge - Touring Car Series, and in 2006 - their second year of competition - had become one of the more successful platforms in the series. Robb Holland, of 3R Racing, became the first Pro driver to put the SRT-4 on the podium with his 3rd place finish at Road America in August of 2006. This was Dodge's first podium and first manufacturer's points in World Challenge Touring Car competition. Holland would finish the season with 3 top 10 finishes and two top 5 qualifying efforts in the SRT-4.
In 2007, Doug Wind, Devin Clancy, and Ken Brewer drove an SRT-4 to a 1st in class and 5th overall finish in the Tire Rack Cannonball One Lap of America.

KICKER/SRT LIVIN LOUD AUDIO SYSTEM -inc: (6) speakers w/amplified subwoofer
SRT DESIGN GROUP -inc: 15" aluminum wheels, body-side molding delete, dual bright exhaust tips, fog lamps, body-color front fascia, hood pwr bulge, instrument panel bezel, trunklid spoiler (w/DGL Auto Trans-inc: PRNDL bezel) (N/A w/ALZ Special Edition Group, ADV Sport Appearance Group) *Affects Color Availability*
Basically, appearance items. No performance options that I know of, or can find documentation of.
Granted, these do not make them SRT-4's, only try to make them appear to be SRT-4's...
