And does anybody know when they will let the stage 3 out. I was told that i could go straight to that instead of buying the first and second stage. Is this true?
wass up man, just go to DALLAS DODGE thats on 635 exit at kingsley rd, thats where i bought my stage 2 and got it installed, talk to loonie, he's the manager at the parts department, and if you talk him down he'll give u discount. I live in dallas, where u at???

I live in Arlington I got the car at Allen Samuels in Fort Worth Maybe we can meet one day Badsrt4 I don't know anybody with a srt-4 here and am learning slow about it. I asked my sales guy if there was a break in and he was quick to say no. So I drove the car a little hard at first till I got home and read the manual. I was like man WTF! he lied or didn't know anything about the car. I hope I didn't do any damage to it.

sexy.... how is a turbo break in different than a n/a engine?

and to neonorangeblast... yes it matters, break you engine in like it says to in the manual, take the extra time, your car will thank you for it and you could save yourself a lot of time and $$ as you put the miles on.
Thats just what I've been told. I'm not too sure.....I didn't mess with mine till after 2k miles, and the more I messed the faster it got. But yeah it definitely does matter.

I drove mine hard out the box with 23 miles on it and now I am only at 1250 but so far so good. If you get the car to drive hard and not like a grandma then drive it hard out the box so it will beable to take the abuse.

Just like a if you bought a v8 TransAm from a grandma that has drove it for 4 years only put milage on it back and forth to the store then you buy it for a deal start to keep your foot to the floor it will break quick. ( I hope you all understand what I am saying??)

Yes i do understand i have heard that also. But i have never had a Turbo and dont now much at all about it. I also just spoke to my dealer again and this time i spoke to parts and they say that they do sell all the stuff. I had spoken to the Service department last time. I think i will wait till at least about 1000 miles before i start to add stuff.

dude that is the dumbest thing ive ever heard in a while... no offense to you personally but dont lead noobs with crapy *** advise like that... you might have been lucky so far but you will see ill affects from it later. NEONORNGBLAST dont listen to black04 about this subject and with advise like this i might look at his other comments more closely as well.

when the manufacturer suggests taking the car easy for the first 300 or so miles, it should be advised to do so...

not to take sides on this, but beating the crap out of something brand-new like that is - well - lame...
