I was waiting for someone to give me shit on that post. I was a few Blue Moons deep when I posted. Anyways the test was on the SRT and there is no mention of an AWD.

 

i dont think its happening yet, its still in concept verson right now(i think)

 

From Autoblog:
"Caliberforums.com is dishing the dirt on the new Caliber SRT-4, and they don't seem too pleased. Forum member Ironside happened upon a 2008 model guide while visiting a local Dodge dealer and when he flipped through the book, he spotted the SRT specs and pics. He even photocopied the pages and posted them for proof. Many forum members seem to be let down, as the promised 300 hp is apparently not gonna happen. Here are the posted specs and a few comments:

• 2.4L DOHC 16V Dual VVT 4-cylinder intercooled/turbocharged World Engine with 280hp @ 6000-6400rpm, 260 lb-ft torque @ 200-5600rpm.
• 0-60mph = 6.2 seconds
• 1/4 mile = 14.6 seconds
• Top speed = 157mph
• The SRT-4 will have a choice of two different 19" 5-spoke rims, the painted ones like on current SRT's, and the chrome ones.
• Final colours that are offered are brilliant black, sunburst orange, bright silver and inferno red (So no new colours like we'd hoped for the SRT).
• The front driver seat FOLDS FLAT.
• NO MyGIG.
• ***NEW INTERIOR*** Offered in what they call a "new completely dark slate grey" (huge improvement from the sound of it)."

"We're very eager for someone to get their hands on an SRT-4 to see how Dodge handles the torque steer issues with routing 300 horsepower through the front wheels. But for now, we wait."


It's going to be FWD. It's only going to have 280hp. And, its not a concept, its coming out "this fall". Plus it's ugly as sin..


I lol'ed at that, it IS an Integra.

 

all my friends that have srt 4 s like them but there money pits they all have problems with 3rd gear for some reason and my friends rsx is in the shop more than hes owned it but the wrx is the way i would go

 

I had a rsx for 2 years and had 0 problems. I wasn't a ricer, though

 

I've had my wrx for about a year now and i've only had two problems with it.

1)Battery kept dying.Turned out i accidentally took the ground off the engine while i was installing my downpipe.
2)Shattered 2nd while i was doing some "spirited" driving.Went from spinning in the wet to a dry patch and boom.

Both were driver error though.Nothing else has went wrong.

 

damn i didnt check my computer for a day and theres a shit load of replys thanks to everyone that wrote back... today after work i met a guy at a gas station with a srt4 and he said he loves the car but like Noobz said his third gear was acting up on him and it had only 40,000 on it, so im second guessing the srt4...i found a 05 wrx at a dealership im going to test drive and see if i like it, so right now its in between the wrx and rsx.

 

oh and BTW before you get the WRX check the insurance rate on it. For some reason it was extremely high for me, which is one of the reasons I decided not to get one. It would have been $450 a month for full coverage.

(that's if you even plan on insuring it )

 

I only pay 300 a month full coverage?

Kaluwa has a bad driving record that's probably why

 

Actually, 100% clean; no tickets / no accidents

*knock on wood*
