CSRT4 Haters

Funny how I see all the haters out there of our CSRT4. You got MS3 owners on youtube making false claims about how CSRT4's are slow, you got Mustang owners bashing our cars, same with Chevy owners such as GTO's & Camaros. I personally also have a 96 Camaro SS. I can tell you from 70+ my caliber just feels faster.

Again a lot of people don't realize that the stupid torque management in 1&2nd gear slow it down.

I opened it up on a long stretch of desert road 140+ and I can tell you that it was more stable than my Camaro SS. I like my minivan, it's got a mean look. Plus, room for my kids & the old lady. Can't say that about my Camaro.

I guess thats in your area but funny never the less. Out here in San Diego I gets the "deer in the headlight" look because they haven't seen the CSRT4 really yet!

Sad part is, even when you walk the Mustangs and put up a good fight vs the Trans Am's and Camaros its just going to turn into "Its still a ricer car." Course my response to that is "No, its a 4 banger MINIVAN that just smoked your Mustang."

Yeah same ole' story, chevy vs. ford, MS3 VS. SRT4,I do agree that the videos are skewed, the fact is the srt4 puts down more whp from the factory and the srt and ms3 are close in weight, there is no way a factory ms3 is going to beat a srt4 that bad, it's easy to make a video and say ''look how much this car sucks!'' I have driven a ms3 and there isn't much if any difference.

People who drive mustangs should never speek to anybody about how there rods look especially when there driving a v8 and we got 4 bangers...... mustangs are like 300's (which i also own. ((300c bently)) everyone has one and after a while you just get sick of seeing a 200 on 22's ...just like no matter how many times you change the mustang body style its still a mustang and it been done .....by every one ...............mustangs are like hookers ....everyone has banged one even when you didn't know it was a hooker. Not speaking from personal experience its just an analogy.

I love my haters

I smoked a vett on the way to work 04-05 not sure, but It was funny I stayed door to door for four gears then walked away from him just to show him I could. funny how when you slow down to legal speeds they dont even look you in the eye when you let them pass you. I know for a fact that MS3 is not match for even a stock csrt, race them just about one a day same results, but watch out for MS6's they can surprise you too but are always way modded when they do.

It would be hard not to be able to tell the difference between a 2004 vette and a 2005 vette, 2004 was the C5 body style while the 2005 is the C6 body style.

On top of that the C6s have 400HP and weigh almost as much as the CSRT4 so from a dig or a roll it would undoubtably beat the CSRT4, a C5 on the other hand is about 200lbs heavier with only 350HP so I could see it running door to door with a CSRT4 from a roll.

You know what I hate... people posting about how the CSRT-4 receives no respect.

It is the same scenario when the Neon came out in 1995... and when the NSRT-4 came out in 2003.



Wah.

2004 Corvette C5




2005 Corvette C6





There are very subtle differences, bigger fender flares, the 2004 C5 has pop up head lights while the 2005 C6 has exposed headlights, the rear end on the C5 is straight flat, the C6 has some curves to it.

I sort of agree just not to this extent, the CSRT will get its due respect in time, as usual its a Dodge so most import guys wont give it respect, its a turbo 4 so must V8 (mustang, camaro, TA, etc etc) wont give it respect, and the fact its a brand new car with a few cars as competition itll take time to make its mark.
