08 Caliber SRT4. Gotta get used to having some power again, but this thing sure rides nice.

 

wow.
i didn't even know they had these

it's a lot nicer than i would have thought!

congrats.
so you sold the fit???

 

Yup traded her in.

 

ahh,
so you're happy with the outcome??

more pics/interior shots??

 

I'll take more pics in the coming days, really only had time to take quick pic or 2 so far. Def happy with it. 285hp>109, and it still gets good mpg.

 

300 hp sounds good to me!!!

you should get springs, smoke the tails (not too dark), that would be awesome

 

That thing looks like a beast. Looks like it'll do 0-60 in sub 6 seconds easily. Does it?

Way to support the economy by buying American :)

 

you need to change your user name to "Rod2Rice2Rod"

so what type of good gas mileage does this get? not fit good mpg im sure.

 

congrats dude

 

thats a pretty bad ass ride but expect to be upside down when you wanna trade that one in, i'm very curious at your mpg change too!
and about the economy, is it bad that one drives an american car, that puts them at the gas pump more offten suporting arab nations or is it better that one buys a japanese car built in america (i know the fit isn't) that gets killer mpg - keeping them away fron the pump twice as long?

at any rate i have a love for the front end styling of most dodge products, just cant bring myself to buy an american car, mostly cause i love resale value - even though i have a 22yo honda and a 18yo honda and will probably never sell the fit!
i know i'm weird!! and me knowing it is half the battle

 

Not sure on the mpg yet, only had it a few days, and since I have not driven a stick in a long time, need time to get familiar with it before I really take note of the mpg.

I beleive 0-60 is about 6 sec or so. Most people seem to run a 14.4 quarter stock, good drivers have gotten to the high 13s. I'll get around to finding out myself eventually.

 

oh nice, it's MT :D
that's good

 

ya 6 speed :)

 

Um great that ur happy but not my taste at all. How much does it weigh?? If i wanted a performance car i would have uped for a s2k,sti,wrx,evo,cobra. I dont like the dodges do to my experance with them. when i had the evo i use to go up against srt8 all the time and all day i would pull on them. And my roomate had a srt4 neon. There ok cars just he use to have problems with it all the time. GL with the new car man like i said just not my cup of tea for a performance car but if ur happy thats all that matters

 

I think curb weight is around 3200 or so. I wasn't really looking to get out of the Fit, but there was a great deal on this car in particular, so I just couldnt pass it up.

 

wouldnt have been my first choice in car but im sure you got this car for a STEAL!! they are practically giving away american cars right now.

 

It's great that you're happy which ultimately is all that matters since it is your money. I just hope you thoroughly test drove it before giving up the keys to your fit. While it may have a good sight more power, I don't really think (in my personal opinion) that chrysler engineered the chassis to take it. The handling is *quite* sloppy, I don't believe it has an LSD and the interior quality is appalling. Other than those quibbles, it does look great!

 

Honestly to me the handling is quite good. It's not as good as the Fit, but then again in this price range nothing really is. I know a lot of reviews say how horrible the interior is, but IMO its not bad at all. Sure its nothing fancy, but this isn't a luxury car at all either. There is no LSD either, it should really have one, but it does have some electronics that are supposed to aid in that respect, but we all know it really wont!
