new srt-4

[ccann26]

Any new news about this out yet I'm anxious to see if its going to dethrone the speed3 in the sport compact market in terms of performance . It sure is ugly and last i hear they didn't hit the 300hp mark like they said ... maybe to leave some room for the tuners ?

the only way it will dethrone the ms3 is on price. end of story.

All of that cheap cost cutting black plastic makes me want to gag, looks worse on the website too.

i cant imagine being surrounded by that much plastic.

not even the p5 looks that cheap on the inside. ands its significantly cheaper

It appears that 300hp was too far off for them? 285hp 265tq, Im not impressed, and its basically a jeep....

The 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT-4 will clearly not be to everyone's taste. Although it's enormously powerful, it's heavy at 3,189 pounds and Dodge admits it isn't any faster than the lighter and less powerful Neon SRT-4 of several years ago. It's also unusual-looking, and by unusual we mean fugly.

LOL.

No.

 

[JoseProte83]

did you guys noticed the MazdaSpeed3 2? lol Mazdaspeed3 by Mazdaspeed Accessories.

anyway back to topic this is one hell of a fugly car...

I kind of like it. I won't trade my MS3 for it but I'm sure the car will have it's own dedicated group of supporters who are just as passionate about their SRT4's as we are about our MS3's.

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

Yeah the blind.................
I mean it looks better than the base version. But its still just the lovechild of a charger and durango, and unfortunately the durango geans won out.

I hate when critics state lower 0-60 times for the MS3 than it is capable of. Car and Driver got a time of 5.8 on their first review back in November before anyone knew how to launch the car. I recall reading a review where they achieved a 5.4 sec. 0-60. There are even a couple of people who have run thier stock MS3s into the high 13's. The Caliber SRT4 will be no competition to the MS3. I don't think they will sale very well either. The kind of market they are trying to appeal to will not accept such an ugly, SUV-ish piece of crap.

I"m not impressed with the interior but its hard not to be impressed with those numbers. Lets not be cynical here, they have built a pretty good machine for the money. I'd still rather have a mazdaspeed3 but the SRT4 will be a competitor.

And its almost guaranteed to have a much bigger aftermarket.

I still like the old SRT4 neon better though.
