I agree about the silver windshield surround, door handles and side strakes…..I have always disliked the contrasting color. I even went so far to receive a quote to paint it body color and could not stomach the $700 cost to make the change!
These little cars are surprisingly quick. I believe mine is the 4th or 5th quickest on Dragtimes, and with a simple CAI, Supercharger Pulley and an ECU tune, most any driver can run a 12.3-12.00. There are just a few of us in the 11’s without N20. Heatsoak is the killer of HP with these cars and I have more cooling mods than most. Also, they never show high dyno numbers due to the inability to turn off the traction control and abs module. The Mercedes C32’s with the same motor have “dyno” mode that these cars do not, so I think the dyno numbers are inaccurate. Most dyno operators cant even provide a torque reading on these cars.

Any way to retro fit the "dyno mode" from the C32's?
Also $700 is crazy for such a small job. Maybe you can try getting it "vinyl wrapped" with a wrap of your cars color. It is cheaper than painting and last longer from what Ive heard.

Very nice SRT, those little things are fast for sure.
My respects to anything with an SRT badge, that's why I had to buy me one too lol.
Have you done the SRT track experience yet? If you haven't go for it, it's a blast, I went this year at my local track. It was raining and it was so much fun racing those cars and trucks in the rain, none of the other SRT cars could catch the jeeps on the wet road course, and the little SRT4 Calibers where right there behind the jeeps. We also drag race a 1/16 of a mile on a wet track with puddles and all, that was a lot of fun too, again the jeeps ruled, that's why I love AWD
