Spy Shots: Dodge Caliber SRT-4 in the wild - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

Richard · 04-26-2007, 04:28 PM

We just posted about this Dodge Caliber SRT-4 a couple of weeks ago and now we have some live shots to go along with the details. Jalopnik found pics of one sitting on a city street for all the world to see. Looks a lot like the photos we've seen already, but seeing one in the wild brings the reality of imminent production to a point. Chunky and mean, we can't forget that this little wagon is packing 300 hp. When we talked about the chats with the SRT team on CaliberForums.com, we were reminded that this Dodge will be a normal 2008 model year car, which means it will arrive "as the leaves change colors," according to one engineer. Unfortunately, the on-sale date can't be pinned down to a specific day this far out, so we'll have to be satisfied with an autumnal arrival. We're very eager for someone to get their hands on an SRT-4 to see how Dodge handles the torque steer issues that come with routing 300 horsepower through the front wheels. Click over to Jalopnik for several more photos in larger sizes.

The interior is described by DCX in the SRT4 brochure
as dark slate gray.

That picture of the engine bay makes me want to re-route the intake directly in from the hood scoop...imagine the noise that thing will make. I want one now.!

Really not that simple as it would appear as the air coming
from the front passes thru an intercooler first.
I guess you could route air from functional hood scoop
to the intercooler,what a plumbers nightmare!!!!!!

I can't wait until the Caliber SRT-4 is released. I'm tired of hearing the nay sayers putting down the Caliber's performance because of it's weight and bulky look. I'm sure it will smoke anything in it's class as well as price range. Looking for bang for your buck? Here it is.
