Hey guys, This is Adam from StreetFire and Dodge just gave us a Caliber SRT4 for the afternoon for a video shoot. We're going to try and get it on a dyno, and shoot some footage. What shots, photos or videos do you guys want? We'll try to put it together and cut the video next week, but can get photos up this evening.

Get some close up of body sides and hood
motor shots also
Thanks

 

We had to give the car back to Dodge before I read this :-(

I' did get some pics of it up on the Dyno though.

We'll post the actual dyno graph Monday with the video, but net net I was impressed.

Very interesting shape to the dyno, very flat, I think the turbo may be too small, but it's an under-bore motor so has decent torque off the line. The Torque Steer is horrid though.

On 89 Octane, and no fan up front it made:
259.58 Horsepower
258.55 Torque

The gas sucked but thats what Dodge had in the tank when we got it. Regardless it looks to me like the car is under rated. It's a shame the differential sucks, but I'm sure that's fixable. The interior and styling details were great. The car felt a bit uncontrolled on the street though because it kept wanting to dive right whenever you punched it. All in all though, it's a damn good car for the money and will probably destroy anything else in it's price category in a heads up race.

 

PS we got some high-deffinition video shots of the motor, but no still photos.

 

How is it compared to the neon srt-4. Performance wise

 

That makes sense about the torque steer. Shame you didn't get to keep it for very long.
Let us know where we can look at what you did get
