lmao!
hey not everyone wants to mod their cars..wow a cai..but seriuosly..nitrous, fuel system, tune, exhaust, dp, turbos..it gets expensive and when you brake your only dd this is what happens...
you have to sit and wait till a new short block comes in. put it all in and wait wait wait..ive pulled 3 motors from my dd camaro, 2 from my mustang, one from a z28 maro, and never to be my mazda speed just to get 12s..ive learned that when im going to track a car,,its going to be a track car and thats what my new mustANg is for..
once you start modding you dont stop
i had to wait a month to get my dd mustang back on the road.. it was a 11.1 car and it got my nowhere

Pretty sure that "some of us want more than fast in a straight line" is indeed a fact.
I know I do, so even if it's just me, it makes that statement a complete fact.
I'll give $1000 to whomever can beat my MSP down a backroad in a stock Caliber SRT-4.
Uhh, no he drives an MS6.

isnt this whole power argument void when it comes to a comparison between our car and the csrt4? we have 20ftbls more torque and in the long run i'd rather have that torque than the horsepower. horsepower doesnt mean jack if you dont have the torque to back it. look at hondas, you know? when i had my focus all i had was an intake, exhaust and a tune with that alone i would spank si's all day long. (though admittedly thats kinda like the special olympics) but point being is that horsepower wise i had less power but more torque that was always the difference. its the same anywhere you go though and i have this talk with my girlfriend and her "camaro" friends a lot.
oh i thought he had an ms3..my bad..but still his statement makes no sense as both cars weigh almost the same.
i understang your point but you can also look at tq and hp this way -
tq gets you off the line and hp keeps you going. the fact that stock it makes less tq and make more hp really is relavent...both cars in the 1/4 are very close in performance...autox = diff story but for the drag strip junkies like myself the srt in the end has a better platform to build from if that's what you want.
Honda Mugen Type RR. 280hp, 170ftlbs tq. Epic Failure.
stock for stock, mod for mod your msp will get s*** on by a caliber on any kind of track or backroad
people underestimate the value of brute power. Road tracks have like what? 10-15 turns in them the rest of the 2-4 mile lap is straight away or "power" areas. yea you can hold a long sweeper 2 mph faster, but at the end of the straight ure goign 10-15mph slower
150whp msp vs a 260whp caliber on a road coarse is not even going to be close

Laloosh, do you want an cailber?
Stock for Stock the MS3 wins, the Caliber fails in more than one place, sure it's engine is makes great stock power, and it's more moddable but in every other aspect the SRT4 fails compared to the MS3, Stock for Stock the MS3 is superior because it's not all about straight line power, even then the SRT4 has no real upper hand.
Better platform? no, better engine right now? Maybe. Until we see we some fully tuned DISIs, one can only speculate.
I like the ms3 and i dont like the caliber..car is fast for sure like laloosh stated...some people like and some dont...check this out and tell me the car doesnt have potential....any car have "potential" motor swaps w/e, but like laloosh said, this car isnt something we should disregard...you could end up staring at the caliber srt4 tailights in the near future
i thought this video was pretty cool

i get that but you can put power into anything doesnt mean it will hold up in the long road. be it autox or drag. why would you choose a company that as far as i can remember has always had problems with their long term wear and tear. dodge trannies and rearends here in detroit are a long standing joke. i've been in their research and development facility and though it is impressive even those guys will tell you that, that motor has really yet to prove itself. if you wanna buy one be my guest but i've been to auburn hills and let me tell you i wouldnt if i were you.
Uh, my MSP is closer to 250 whp, bub.
(potkettle
(jerkit)What are you portraying yourself to be right now? LMFAO @ j00
I guarantee my MSP would not get beat by a Caliber.
