    My neighbor has an EVO and ran against my maggie and didn't like the results. HEHEHEHE...So the other day he said he was going to get himself an SRT4 Caliber and low and behold he found the ONLY SRT4 in San Diego County of course in the Fastest Color: BLACK So here's some pics.

    Took a ride in it and it has some get up and go, he now wants me to hook him up with some other SRT4 guys to show him how to turn the boost up in his ride.

    That's very cool! It's gonna be great to see what the Caliber is capable of becoming.

    You did? Awesome, Heidi. That's gonna be one sweet ride once you guys go through it. :thumb3:

    He kept the EVO, traded in his Ram Truck for the Caliber.

    It's the other car in these pics

    Very nice. I was going to say I know where he bought it, but the dealer plates gave it away. I took at look at that one when it was on the lot.

    moe, the evo is definitely faster than the caliber, he didn't buy it cause he thought he'd do better against your maggie did he?? Lol! We all know NO one can beat your maggie!!

    depends on what is in the Evo...

    I had no problems with stock and modded evo's when I was stock. Well they would kill me from a launch... but after second it was over...

    Yeah I called Ralph when I saw it too and he said yep we had a black one here yesterday and someone bought it. It was the only SRT4 in San Diego..I said well it is sitting in the parking lot of my complex now...LOL

    Nah he knows he can't beat the maggie...He still thinks my maggie is supercharged or something and I keep telling him it is not, I even showed him pictures of a stock engine, he doesn't believe me..He said he bought the SRT4 because he likes the SRT's and wanted to stick with the manual transmission.

    IDK mains, sure not against a neon srt but against the caliber the evo will eat it up. Have you seen the road tests ... evo mr, 0-60 4.7, 1/4 -13.4 @102 (C&D). Caliber srt, 0-60 5.8, 1/4 - 14.4 @101. Even with a good driver the caliber gets beat bro. They're too big and heavy compared to the neon srts.

    LOL!! Where's he think you're hiding the blower, under some of that carbon fiber bro?? Hahhahaaaa!!

    Nice Caliber...

    Never could understand why people are so ethno-centric (referring to the Puerto Rican flag in the windshield). Either you're an American or not... American's are all different backgrounds... why is it SO important to differentiate yourself? The Pride should be displayed with the US flag (or Canadian, if you're a canuck).

    Done ranting.

    He says my engine looks bigger than the ones I showed him online. HAHAHAHA...then one day Adam came over with his 300, pretty much same set up as mine, my neighbor said he heard his 300 and asked if are cars were the same. I said yeppers everthing but the body and that sedan has a little extra in it that I don't have so be afraid... he responded you lie, your cars sound like alot of stuff has been done to them, they don't sound like the regular ones...you have to have supercharger (he's PR so I am using his destruction of the english language) Well i told him they aren't, they are BEAST...6.1L HEMI V8 BEAST. ..he just laughed

    Hahhaa, that's too funny moe, lol! You know what, now that he's got a Caliber SRT get him on either this site or the OC and he'll find out that your motor isn't s/c'd, it's just like the rest of all our 6.1s ... bad azz!! (of course yours is slightly better than most bro!!)

    Yes, Ozzie, I did. I love the Charger, but I just have a hard time seeing over the hood even with the seat up as high as it goes. I miss my Crossfire (ended up with the Charger becaue the Crossfire engine blew). The BT Charger will be Dan's ride next year. I also miss shifting gears. I learned to drive a stick shift late in life (35) so I still enjoy driving a stick and I actually think I am a better more alert driver with a stick shift.
