Unfortunatley because of its low production #'s it will not get a fair shake with the masses but pound for pound it kills everything in its class.
And I see a lot of you going out on a limb with the new SRT-4. Yes it is a somewhat proven platform but not in the new configuration that is coming out. Luckily for you Moparts people the Germans have their hand in the pot so the execution of the project will be far better than Moparts could have done on their own.
One car you guys have left out of this discussion is the next Gen SVT Focus that has been under a very tight seal and is supposed to have a lot of Euro in it.
Ford wants a big piece of the pie and they have the right people in place to get their slice.
Time will tell.
gonna have to bust your balls, but the turbo 2.4L has been out since approx. 1996, so the germans didn't help with that.
They did however help get the Hemi back in the line up as well as the New RWD cars that DC will be releasing next year. Mustangs should start quivering if what I read is what Is going to happen. Done with the ball busting
As far as prodiction numbers go, supposedly the SRT4 is going to be limited to 10k per year. I don't think that will last because there is a huge intrest in the car according to the dealers out here. Dec 8th the first ones will be ready to sell, they are suppose to be on the lots Dec 4th out here.
