2008 caliber SRT-4

i am very interested in the new srt- 4. i was reluctant to get one when it was a neon basically because it was a "neon." but now the caliber is a very decent economy car. aside from that the new srt-4 looks is hottttt. with 19 inch wheels, beefer brakes and body kit. this car would be a great tuner/track. the only thing that is throwing me off is the fact that this thing is front wheel drive meaning= massive torque steer expecially with a 285 hp turbo which would be annoying at the track. i know there are plenty of other people that like this hot hatch anyone have one???

some pics

yeah, it is pretty nice. also now that they've got the infinite powertrain warranty, (for the first one) it's kinda worth getting. Any idea how much?

The lifetime warranty does not cover SRT vehicles.

Seems like a Mazdaspeed 3 would do just about everything better.

I'll be following the performance capabilities of the engnie closely; it is a GEMA-developed unit, the same collective that produced the new Mitsu EVO X 4B11 engine...

great car.. it just needs to be lowered. Mopar makes amazing products for the previous SRT4 so its only a matter of time until these cars are making 400whp

eh, I have to see it in person before I can pass any judgement. The photos aren't doing anything for me though.

I'd agree with that. The only thing this might do better is rear leg room. However, Tall people + small cars never work well, and on a track car rear leg room is irrelevant, so MS3 would be a better car, and it looks so much better I think.


Then again, I'm a little partial so Mazda.
