Smile Ricer Challenges

It's funny, I just purchased my Caliber SRT-4 about 2 weeks ago. I've had about 5 civics from old to new revving their engines at me, 3 chevy trucks and 3 mustangs, 1GT 2V6's, all of which wanting to beat on my CSRT-4. I think they were a little surprised at how much power this little stock 2.4 turbo puts out. I want a stage 2 pcm so bad.

Needless to say, soon as I'm in 3rd, this thing is flying. I just wish dodge can get rid of the stupid torque management crap. More boost please.

I love my CSRT-4 it get's so much attention. I've had comments from, "hey that's such a cool car" to "Hey, are you turning into a soccor mom?". The negative comments came from my good friends with older mustangs. I'm 38 yrs old so, negative comments don't bother me as much. Some times I reply by either flipping them the bird, ask them to "Kiss my A$$" or other degrading verbal comebacks. It's all in good fun.

Yeah that seems to be the story, most everyone I talk to really likes the car, most people are just interested from the lack of this car on the road, I get most of the flack from my subaru buddies, but most of them know that the srt line is no joke!

It happens alot to me as well. Usually, guys rev or floor it while passing me. Mostly guys that do have something modded. It never happens when I am alone, usually when I have the kids in the car and can't beat there ass. There's a guy that lives in my area with a modded eagle talon who is looking for a challenge. I'll keep you posted.

I usually get "wtf is that"

I have yet to be challenged. Only way my car gets any action is if I start it, or I give them long enough to read the badging on the back.

If they know what an SRT is they pull around me and then its on lol

Smile Vw R32

Woo, had a fun day today. Comming back from a business trip, an R32 pulled behind me then slowed down beside me, then pulled ahead, then slowed down beside me again. We'll I dropped it down to 3rd. doing about 55-60, I decided to give it a shot, punched it when he did, can you say see ya. he couldn't keep up. shut it down in high 4th. He was nice enough to give me the thumbs up.

This was in arizona, so 1,000 ft above sea level, so, turbo's have the advantage. It may be a closer race at sea level.

Nice kill!

At least he was humble enough to admit that he lost.
