I said the same thing until I actually sat in one. I'm in love with these cars and if you know me or anything about me, you'd know how weird that is. I am not a dodge fan, I don't even like domestics in general but once I was made to sit in an sr-t 4 and read about them. I was shocked at how much potential this car really has. Everyone wants to say "its still a neon" or "its a skittle" but they really are pretty amazing for the price and power they put out. Next years models are supposed to come out with a Stage 3 kit, I believe that would net them at around 300 hp stock. That's pretty good to me and you can bet in another year ( unless of course I find something else to dream about which happens alot) that the Nissan will be gone and replaced with a skittle.
