I found the spec sheet. This thing's gonna weigh 3189#. [sm=smiley30.gif]I was thinking about an SRT-4 for autox. Not any more, no wonder it has 300HP! Anyone have a low mileage '95 neon without power steering and a five speed? [sm=gears.gif] Actually, it will likely go against mustangs so it will probably do fine in class. [sm=lol.gif]

Damn it FWD is confirmed...

[:@] #%#%@$! [:@] %#%@^%! [:@]

 

Who said it was not going to be FWD? They may come out with an AWD version in future who knows, it would be nice. I know they are trying to keep the price down and AWD is gonna add some $.

 

Almost everyone thought it was going atleast have an AWD option... Like the R/T... If this thing is gonna compete with the STi and Evo... Might need it... EVo and STi will kill it off the line...

 

Yeah, hopefully they will add an AWD version to the lineup so it could compete with the Impreza WRX STI and Lancer Evo.

I'm hoping they add a 5 speed auto or a CVT auto option to it as well, they do and I may very well be trading in my Magnum for one, better performance, better fuel economy, lower loan payments and still a decent amount of cargo room and it looks great, the manual is the only thing making it a no-sale for me right now, the R/T has an auto but ther performance is going to suck on it, way to little hp for it's weight.

 

300 horsies... droooool.

 

This is going to be a cool little car. I think it needs more power, but i'm sure performance parts will be available to take care of that.

 

It doesn't need more power at all, it needs an AWD system...

 

These things will never be able to compete against a sti or and evo, they are just to heavy, even if you get a company to make a cf hood and rear tail gate, it might bring it down closer to their weight but if they do the same they will be lower and still beat them. Beside the real SRT-4 Neon's can beat an evo and a sti, and we just have fwd with lsd, and then there are some evo's and sti that will smoke a SRT neon. But stock for stock the others will beat the caliber in a race, just due to the weight
