Default Caliber SRT-4

read bout it in car and driver. looks better than the base model obviuosly and a Turbocharged 2.4l with 300hp...are they using the same motor from the frist Srt-4s with some more tunning. cause those r some good numbers fo a stock 2.4 ...0-60 i think was like 5.5

what do u guys think ? if i can find some pics ill post em

most people will flame it, but imo it's better than a neon

IMO, they are kind of cool with some of the interior options, the 300hp is nice and probably about the same price as a Srt-4 neon. But to get a caliber i think would be differnt, and maybe it will be a new trend. Someone should do a stage 3 setup on it. See what happens!

Sadly, due to the extra weight, the Caliber is slower in the 1320 than the Neon SRT-4. IIRC it's a little quicker 0-60 because of the extra weight (more traction).

I was at the Chicago Auto Show a couple months ago where it debuted...the ting looks pretty badass. Didn't get to ride in it, but I was able to feth a ride in a regular aliber. They're eons above a Neon as far as quality, fit and finish, etc.!

I think a 100 shot of nitrous is about right, 150 if you live in Lakeland. Those 2.4's are strong.
