Test drive!!! Srt-4

racingtheburg · 09-14-2005, 10:59 AM

Well I went and test drove a new SRT-4 since I was wondering how this car was for the price....

Cruises Really nice seats are A+++ , BUT let me stop this short I didnt think it was as fast as planned? Maybe I didnt drive it correctly....WHen I hit the gas I it did go ANYWHERE until like 5600?? Now let me remind you never have driven a fwd turbo car....

Does anyone have an srt-4 they would be willing to let me ride in?

If the turbo spools at really low rpms like it's supposed to you would have had a blast. Sounds like you had a bad one that you test drove as redline is 6,000 so not going anywhere til 5600 would suck ass. If I was ever in St. Pete I'd let you drive mine but I am over in Tampa.

It's a really fun car for being a FWD. I am usually at full boost before 3,000 rpm on mine. It's a good car to get, if you are looking to buy one, I highly recommend it.

I am always by usf area..... I think it was a dogg or something it was white with ghost flames they had painted on it looked ugly as can be lol and wanted 26k for it lol

Well I really would like one but I just have to see more power then the one I drove it had lsd soooo Not sure what the probblem was....

What do you get for mpg?

Fast420A · 09-14-2005, 12:57 PM

I usually get around 180 - 200 miles to a tank. It's a 12 gallon tank so I get around 16mpg. My wife drives it though the week so it gets better mileage with her than when I am driving.

holy crap 16mpg? thats awful, with my 2.4 turbo I got 32mpg...but then I usually kept my foot off the gas more...it also had a ton of crap done to it, I'm expecting roughly the same fuel mileage from the SRT engine I am finishing up now, but I do have a standalone as well, so I have better fuel control I guess?

Like I said, I hardly drive it, so when I do...

Plus it's usually city driving, it gets to see the highway maybe once a month. Only used half a tank from here to Orlando and back last weekend going about 90 - 100 most of the trip.

DirtyShroomz · 09-14-2005, 02:10 PM

seems like u drove a shitty one, i get about 20mpg and 30highway mph like it was made, even more if i cruise in 5th going 40+mph

racingtheburg · 09-14-2005, 03:17 PM

Well I need to drive a real one!!! How much have you guys paid and what options?

Nolimitslja · 09-14-2005, 03:49 PM

As fas ar mpg I'm like 420A when my wife drives ours (most of the time) it gets awesome gas mileage. When I'm running late for school and go from lakeland to dale mabry last week I got 11 mpg but for the most part ours gets 30+ on highway and about 22-25 city... When we went to Orlando last thursday I did an average of 80 the whole way and we used less than 1/4 tank of gas too and from so highway the thing is awesome. I think we paid something like 18 and some change on ours out the door. So 26 is nuts tell that dealership to cram it up their ass. Also as far as the getting on it and not going anywhere ours has done that to me a couple times when I get a hiccup in the air flow or shift weirdly but other than that it hauls ass most of the time. Good luck with finding one you like

racingtheburg · 09-14-2005, 04:34 PM

Dealerships? Recomend?

**Miles** · 09-14-2005, 04:59 PM

do NOT go to central florida chrysler dodge jeep.

find a fairly low volume dealership that won't do everything in their power to fuck you in every hole with no lube.

racingtheburg · 09-14-2005, 06:03 PM

Found a used one going to look tonight and test drive her

Thanks Miles WHere did you go.....

i figured that would be rather self explanatory.

Fast420A · 09-14-2005, 07:21 PM

Don't buy a used one unless you want one that was beat on. Must people trust the way they beat on their own car but I wouldn't trust one that was beat on by someone else.

Nolimitslja · 09-14-2005, 09:11 PM

Hey I would say if you have the time goto Tom Edwards in Bartow we got ours from there for around 18 and we didn't get any run around or anything. If you got there let me know and also ask for salesman Stewart Denne he's awesome...
