Alright, I figured that someone would have suggested this already, in which is why I held off suggesting this, but here I am.

It goes back to what some of my suggestions have been about; suggesting that if Polyphony Digital were to make a premium version of a certain car model, they should model one of the better versions. In GT6 right now, there's the 2003 Neon SRT-4 as a standard car. As in, it's still a model ported from the PS2 era of the GT franchise. With that, I figured that it would be a great opportunity for Polyphony to model the ACR version, which is the highest performing version of the 2nd Gen Neon.

Now, about the car. Well, just read this description from autoblog.
here is no leaving well enough alone at Street and Racing Technology. The most rabid of the Dodge Boys first brought us the wicked-looking SRT4 in 2003, with a turbocharged, intercooled, sixteen-valve DOHC 2.4-liter four producing 65 hp more than the best Neon's 150-hp 2.0-liter. Then came 230 hp in 2004, the Mopar Performance Stage 1 turbo kit offering 10 more ponies for $399, and a Stage 2 kit upping the power to 260 hp for $999 or 265-hp for $1599.
Why stop there? SRT is now bringing back the American Club Racing (ACR) package-dropped in 2003-and also offers the utterly insane Stage 3 turbo upgrade kit. We've driven SRT4s with both. For pure, white-heat, sweaty-palms excitement, Stage 3 pushes the SRT4's power peak to 310 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. (Or 355 hp and 365 lb-ft with 100-plus octane gas!) Try that in the snow on summer tires (as we did) for a rush that will make your short hairs uncurl. The kit will cost you $4199.
The newly minted ACR package will hunker the SRT4 down and have it turning on a dime for an extra $1195 over the base SRT4's $21,195. Considering the list of mods starts with superlight sixteen-inch BBS wheels and 225/45ZR-16 BFGoodrich KDW2 tires, the rest of the package is virtually free. Five-way adjustable Tokico dampers, rear tension strut, larger front antiroll bar, spare tire and wheel, and seats that will accommodate shoulder harnesses complete the package. Grab the Stage 3 kit as a Mopar add-on, and kiss the competition good-bye.

Notes:
- More specs will be added once I look up more about the car.
- I geniunely want this car modelled for a later GT title. It doesn't have to be GT6 dlc, it could be for GT7, GT7 dlc, or even GT8. I just want to see this in GT at some point.
- Like my other threads, it'll often be updated with better pictures when I find them.
- For people that don't know, I'm honestly against the idea for standards in GT7.
- Now, I'm aware that PD could just model the regular SRT-4 Neon again and could give the ACR upgrade options and I would be fine with that, but with PD's track record; I'm not so sure that'll happen anytime soon.
