Unfortunately they don't sell them new anymore, I heard you could buy one new and beat the shit out of it for a couple years and take it back for a full refund

I work at dodge dealership and it's like this. Spend $19-20k on the car itself, spend another $8k for all the upgrades from mopar, spend another $1-2k (depending on where you go) on upgraded axles and a bigger turbo, then a couple hundred on some tranny upgrades, then spend about another thousand on some No2, Grand total comes to $30-31k and you've got an 11 sec to high 10 sec car.

can you name a car that's as new or newer, that stock goes as fast or faster, for as cheap or cheaper, with four cylinders or fewer? it must be all of the above. if you can, i'll gladly transfer the title of "speed per liter and dollar."

Rumor has it the next one (Calibur SRT4) will be on a shared platform as....the EVO X?!

While you are at it, notice the blatant Copy-and-paste of DCX from 300 to new minivan...

No this is a little incorrect, Chrysler in the past year has sold off all their stock with mitsubishi. The caliber is a shared platform with jeep on their new Compass, here's what I can tell you is that the new CVT tranny will be a monster at the track, 1 gear!!! Throw some juice to it and watch it go.
