If it takes you 10 seconds to do 0-60, sounds like you either need to learn to shift or your car has some serious issues.... that car stock should be about 7 to 7.5 seconds..

The autos are a bit slower, but they arent 0-60 in 10 seconds slower.... I owned a 2002 Stratus R/T V6 and it was a blast to drive.

You may want to consider the following things:

Replacing spark plugs
Replacing belts
Transmission flush
New motor mounts

Those are things that can affect performance.

alright...thanks for the help..what about headers? do those improve performance or do they just allow your engine to handle more?

Headers would help, but to be honest, these cars suck in the way of aftermarket anything.... everything is over priced and limited where you can find it...
