Default Caliber SRT-4

Yesterday when I left work, I was turning to head home and at the light at Squirrel and Hamlin was a silver Caliber SRT-4. Looked like a pre-production pilot. It looked pretty kick ***. By the time I got my phone open to take a pic, the light changed and he took off. Looked production ready from the outside.

was it masked up at all?

the only news that i have heard about the release lately is that they are having incredible wheel hop problems...i cant imagine why else they are delaying the official release unless they are having a problem of some sort.

however, james said that he thought that he saw one before christmas....so maybe the execs are hitting the streets with them?

No masking at all. It looked prod ready from the look I got at it.

hmmm..ill have to keep an eye out. there is a guy down towards hall road who seems to frequently have brand new dodge products with M tags...ill keep an eye on his driveway.

the few that i have seen in columbus and up here were obviously mules, with connection ports on the sides and back...etc.

I'll have to be faster with my trigger finger on the camera phone and get a pic of it next time.

Wheel hop is when the tires bounce up and down instead of staying in contact with the road like they should. It will happen under hard braking and acceleration. Sounds like the Dodge engineers need to fine tune the brakes and suspension on the new SRT4.
