RE: Official specs for Dodge Caliber SRT-4!
Anyone, what's retail on this SRT-4? We got an R/T with AWD for about $23K. I'm just waiting patiently for someone like Hahn Racecraft to make a turbo kit for it. If they can make a comparable setup to what they offer for the Neons, about $2500 should get you 300 HP out of an R/T's 2.4L. Don't know how my CVT tranny would hold up to that much power though.
Loweringspring shouldhelp the aerodynamics incredibly, and the loss of clearance won't be that bad 'causethe car comes with ALOT of it.

Caliberforums.com is dishing the dirt on the new Caliber SRT-4, and they don't seem too pleased. Forum member Ironside happened upon a 2008 model guide while visiting a local Dodge dealer and when he flipped through the book, he spotted the SRT specs and pics. He even photocopied the pages and posted them for proof. Many forum members seem to be let down, as the promised 300 hp is apparently not gonna happen. Here are the posted specs and a few comments:
[ul][*]2.4L DOHC 16V Dual VVT 4-cylinder intercooled/turbocharged World Engine with 280hp @ 6000-6400rpm, 260 lb-ft torque @ 200-5600rpm.[*]0-60mph = 6.2 seconds[*]1/4 mile = 14.6 seconds[*]Top speed = 157mph[*]The SRT-4 will have a choice of two different 19" 5-spoke rims, the painted ones like on current SRT's, and the chrome ones.[*]Final colours that are offered are brilliant black, sunburst orange, bright silver and inferno red (So no new colours like we'd hoped for the SRT).[*]The front driver seat FOLDS FLAT.[*]NO MyGIG.[*]***NEW INTERIOR*** Offered in what they call a "new completely dark slate grey" (huge improvement from the sound of it). [/ul]
Thanks for the tip, Jim!

RE: Official specs for Dodge Caliber SRT-4!
It still looks like a rolling toaster to me no matter how nice the wheels are. lol
I'm sorry Dodge, as much of a Mopar head that I am, if I were in the market again for a turbo 4-banger I'd choose the new Lancer Evo X over the Caliber SRT-4 anyday (even considering the price difference!).
What's the deal with the ugly performance hatchback craze lately?
Subaru has done the same thing to the STI! It's like there's some sort of hatchback epidmic spreading through the automotive industry.

I'm actualy glad they are putting out hatchbacks more now, I like how they look and they have a lot more cargo space, to me it's a lot more preferable than the sedan kick they have been on for a while, very very few 4 door sedans look good imo, 4 door wagons/hatchbacks do look good though, with a sporty car either give me a 4 door wagon/hatchback or a coupe, a sedans worthless imo, no more space than a coupe but a lot uglier.
