I bought mine because it was a manual we bought my wifes cruiser because same motor same turbo with heated seats.
Been a Mopar fan ever since I was a kid...influenced my parents to buy nothing but Chrysler products...haven't had a serious problem with any of them yet.
My car... #3 'cause it was cheap. #2 'cause I always loved the neon.(this one is my 3rd) #1 'cause it was orange. :blush: The Mrs car... #3 'cause it was cheap. :rofl: #2 same engine as my car, but with the auto trans for the Mrs. #1 'cause the Mrs doesn't really care what she drives, so it like a slower more comfortable version of my car for me to tote the family around in.
I needed something that was cheap, ok on gas and turbo from the factory so I wouldn't waste my time trying to piece together some setup on an n/a car with a budget I didn't have, but I had to have a turbo. That and it was a relatively new car when I bought it so everything just fell right into place. I drove it, it was the fastest and honestly most fun car I drove, so I had to get it.
Ford canceled the SVT Sport-Trac Andrenaline. They were going to drop the 03-04 cobra engine into it and have AWD. Heard about the Jeep SRT and started researching.
Simple for me, it was this ... http://www.dodge.com/dodge_life/pas...ast_and_future-concept_cars&type=textNav.html Once I saw that show car I was sold, plain and simple that thing was BAD AZZ!! Took till they finally made the SRT8 model for me to buy tho (and after 2 years straight of praying, haha), gotta have the power to back up that look!
I had never owned a MOPAR product, and had gone into the local Dodge show room just to see a new SRT Truck. I also own a Ford Lightning truck and wanted to see in person the most powerful production truck on the road. The local dealer did not have the SRT truck, but did have the SRT charger, went for a test ride and the rest is history.
I always liked the Magnum and was originally thinking of getting just an RT. Then I got a ride in Rons...drove and 06 SRT magnum and I was sold. I like the look of the magnum and the motor just sealed the deal.
A ride in the back of Ron's Charger and I knew I needed to always pack a helmet and to check my tires!!! :shock: :grin:
Because I couldn't afford and find an Evo 8 in great condition... seriously. I wanted an SRT-4 way back but my wife at first wasn't keen on them. So one day I got tired of working on the DSM (Eclipse/Laser/Talon). So I told her why don't we start looking at a newer car an Evo. The few we saw we weren't impressed on the condition of them, price, and what not so on the way home I threw the SRT-4 card in since we wanted a 4 door vehicle that was turbocharged. Next day she went online and checked local inventories and found the SRT-4 I drive today. She fell in love with the car (it was suppose to be her car and she will let everyone know it too haha) but she eventually got her own so we both now have SRT-4's .
because i had dumped my girlfriend and wanted to impress some girl at school by spanking her boyfriends m3....it worked....but she turned out to be a bitch...but hey i got a srt8
