Was it really that successful? I'm not downing the car, I was looking for one back in April of this year. But I've seen little to none on the road. Post up a link to the supposely new SRT4 their releasing. I just find it dumb someone comes on here and says an SRT4 stock will be an Evo stock from a roll. I was aware of the Caliber. I thought Dodge released the Caliber because they were having too many problems with the SRT4's... but maybe I'm wrong.

I thought Dane was 19? But yeah Dane is right.

Yeah sure I don't have a clue about anything. Here comes that cocky attitude some SRT4 owners have. Its assumptions not "assumtions" and I'm not making them. Truth hurts get over it. I've been in your boat... sticking up for something you own. You had an Evo and settle for something that cost less then an Evo and is FWD and has less power. Great choice.

there is nothing wrong with the car at all, just some of the owners...it is in fact a very stout car, it just doesn't have as much to offer as the Evo or Sti in factory trim...not that they cut corners, its just that they wanted to produce a fast car for under 20,000. note every other SRT vechicle comes standard with brembo brakes, Hids, navigation etc. plus SRT4 is far from being Diamler Chryslers best car...btw, im all for the
4G being one of the best 4 cyl to date. i wont debate that...

So I take it then my stout comment is what made you say that was by far the most ignorant thing you've heard. SRT4's are mean like I stated I was looking at them back in April but only found one that looked like it had its share of beatings and I didn't want to deal with problems. Everytime I see one I still want one but by all means all cars have problems and I know the SRT4 isn't perfect. There's hate for the SRT4's I know... you guys get the vibe of its a peon, girls car and what not but actually man there's an Orange one around my area that just sounds plain nasty and I would be intimidated by the sound. No harm done man I wasn't downing the car I was just simply stating it has its flaws too.

its cool, if i cared about what people thought id be dead already...i think id rather have a house than a evo....i never said anything bad about any car thus far, i simply questioned your knowledge...im done, no need to waste a good thread.
