| 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 |

| 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.
