test drove an srt4

[I'm Slow]

I test drove a used SRT-4 today from a local dealer I must say ....that thing was a POS it was surging like crazy in second gear ......plus I could hardly get the thing into second gear since the synchros were so damaged.....I was not impressed at at all.......when the car was in boost at WOT....it felt much slower than my WRX....and I am dead ass :thumbdwn:

[figment]

[GsEclipse02]

Pretty much, It only had 11,000 on it. :blackeye:

[Josiah]

poor SRT, abused at a young age, screws it up for life, heh, naw, seriously drive one that wasnt owned by somebody who doesnt know how to drive a 5 speed

i agree. people are beating the shit out of these cars. they will become DSMs in another 7-8 years im almost SURE. if you beat on something and put it away wet, eventually you'll pay for it. drive a new one.

[BrYaN H]

you know I don't get that. What exactly are you supposed to do w/ a sports car? drive it like a buick? Granted, the car should still be tip top shape down the road if it's worth its salt and wasn't driven incorrectly.

EXACTLY!

[fadedSTi]

this is why you have to buy a brand new one. never buy a USED race car

[bluelighting]

I baby the shit out of my SRT. and I have no problems with it. THere's a reason that that car was at the dealership. It's fucked up.

[ItsGinn]

thats funny, its like one of those standard discussions, i remember when people on dsmtalk (ricer talk) used to talk about how shitty dsm transmissions were and shit like that yet on nabr, only real problems that any of us had was when the car actually made power.

I rebuilt the tranny in my dsm and drove it for 10k miles beating on it hard... but i beat it right :) knowing how to drive a car while beating it, i think is the key.

Guy who baught my car had the car for 5k miles and destroyed all the syncros.

I just baught an SRT-4 and I can already tell like someone said, they are the next DSM

(btw way faster then a stock wrx)

I agree, I am going to test drive a new one to compare the difference :)

[adrian_302]

i liked the srt4 when i drove it. too bad the bastards took it away from me 2 days later :lol:

[bOoStIn-NeOn]

If I were you I would wait till the ACR edtion come out. The color going to be in white.

[I'm Slow]

^^^ Anymore power or better suspension?? I hate white.

[ACR2NV]

same power WAY better suspension which means you'll; make better use of the power

[I'm Slow]

True........! Is it lower......strut bars,sway bars??

back before i got this yellow mustang, i was looking into the srt-4. I test drove one and it felt decent, but i wasnt a big fan of how it drove compared to the mustang. Not to mention half the traction and 5X the torque steer (sp?). then i am a little on the big side for the seets, after a little bit they were grinding my nuts lol

[bluelighting]

No touque steer for me... LSD in the 04-05.

[btownRT]

The Acr's are already out. Just dont expect to see one at a dealership.

[Skittle]

I have a 04,and i still get torque steer :cry::dunno: :-D

[bluelighting]

That sucks. not me. I can launch 1st with no hands on the wheel, and It barely torque steers at all.

Then you are not fast enough. :)

[bluelighting]

I'm stock. no performance mods.

[I'm Slow]

true......!

[bluelighting]

I'm keeping it stock until I have about 3500 to drop on performance.
