Get used to the looks. With a small number being produced, people aren't used to seeing it. Nobody the the university police department I work at had even heard of the car until I bought one.

I saw my one and only other SRT-4 about 6 months ago in the wee hours of the morning on my way back home from work. At first I thought it was a Mitsu, but then I saw the Dodge nameplate and thought, "Just some yo-yo trying to make his neon look tuff." Boy, did I learn a lot!!!!!!![sm=smiley36.gif]

I've gotten over my 300 mile mark and have done a couple of almost full throttle runs in the higher gears as per the owners manual, except when refering to the part where it says within the limits of the law, because after 2 seconds of it your way above any legal limits.[sm=smiley4.gif][sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif]

I have also gotten a few stares as well, but not too many because most of my driving seems to be at night and mine is black. The weather hasn't been too cooperative here lately either, only 2 of the past 15 days have had any sun and most of the others have been rainy.[sm=smiley19.gif]
