 |  New Gal- Fort Worth, Texas I got my 2008 red SRT-4 about 6000 miles ago. I am having a lot of fun with it. I always wanted a car with a little zip.  I had some trouble at first getting used to the clutch. Stalled it quite a few times. Way different than my Miata. I also have a little trouble with getting it into reverse. A few times I put it into reverse when I meant to be in first. When I get my fat family in it, it seems to rub something underneath when I go around curves. I will have this checked when I go in for service. Way dissapointed that it doesn't have a jack to plug my MP3 player into.  I learned quickly to hold tight to the wheel when Turbo engages. I haven't seen any others on the road here in the metroplex yet. |

| Welcome and congrats! They are definitely a fun car, and are surprisingly very good on gas.

Reverse? Going into reverse from first unintentionally would be pretty difficult, I thought considering you have to lift the shifter to get it in to reverse in the first place. As for the rubbing, did you check to make sure they took off the strut spacers? | |
