SRT-4 Version will have a little over 300whp and be around 25,000 bucks. Production is suppose to start in 2011. and btw since im dong my final research paper on SRT for ENGR-204A, i found out chrysler will not cut SRT period and out of the thousands and thousands of layoff, not a single layoff or pay cut has happened to any of the 120 SRT workers!

uuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I don't think I like it, Each to their own.

[Domesticated]

whats not to like about a rwd 6 speed with 300hp and equal torquage man? and for such a cheap price

[jon]

yeah im not to much of a fan...i dont really like the look...ill take an older sti instead

[nate@pdxine.com]

Not coming to production, it was a concept a few years ago, back when Dodge had less debt and wasn't owned by the government lol.

Here it is at the 2008 portland auto show

I'd rather have a S2000

[tevan]

Thing is uuuugly!

[2fast4usteeley]

its got the front of the new chager and a combo of the 350z rear end with a little bmw roadster! mix all together at 400 degrees and you get this little demon!!! lol i liked it in the first pic, until i saw the rest of it. But its great bang for your buck

[Bmer89]

Poor man's Viper? lol

I don't like the look at all. But then again, I'm picky when it comes to convertibles for some reason.... I wonder if they'll do a hard top version??

[gotrice93]

yeah i agree with Brian, i'd rather have a s2000. im not a big fan of the body lines on the dodge

[Domesticated]

Poor man's Viper? lol

yea, chrysler says its a cheap car with some viper dna in it, its suppose to be the vipers little brother. who cares how it looks, i think it looks pretty good, but you cant pass up that performance for that price

[Bmer89]

Watch meh. I can have my car mid-engine, RWD and beyond 300hp for less than 15K.

[Domesticated]

ok dont start up the argument again on building rather than buying a car.

[MetaEnder]

ok dont start up the argument again on building rather than buying a car.

Haha yeah, that always comes up.


As for the car, I know convertibles are good for weight reduction, but if they came out with a hard top for it that looked decent I'd probably be more interested. Not a huge fan of convertibles and soft tops. Need me a nice sloping rear winder.

[erik]

I just puked in my mouth a little bit. The Dodge front looks photoshopped onto a 350z/S2000 mix. Ugly.

[90LXCB7]

I was going to say the same thing. The front end and head lights resemble the s2000, the tail, maybe an Audi?

[Brian]

As for the car, I know convertibles are good for weight reduction

negative. Convertibles are usually heavier because of all the reinforcing they have to do.

[Domesticated]

correct, but i believe they used similar technologies from mercedes like they did with the crossfire to keep it rigid, so it is still pretty heavy. hell travis said his Z3 2 seater roadster weighed like 3600 lbs

[gotrice93]

del Sol weighs 2277 ftmfw!

[Brian]

del Sol weighs 2277 ftmfw!

and 125hp(si) FTL

[MetaEnder]

Good to know! Ha. I guess that makes sense, they need more frame reinforcement because of the missing top.

In that case. I wanna see a hard to! Ha. I think the rear is okay, the front end looks kinda weird on a coup small car. When I look at that front I think of a bigger car. The Viper kiiiiiiiind of looks like that if you squished it, ha, but this looks bullky.

Price is pretty nice IMHO though.

[erik]

and 125hp(si) FTL

pwned :lawl:

[Bmer89]

Look at the windshield in the three pics Nate posted. Looks like it gets lighter/darker depending on the angle.... which is nifty :)

and 125hp(si) FTL

Well if you buy a Sol because it has a lot of power, you're an idiot lol. But the Demon only gets 20hp more in terms of hp/ton. (110 vs 130)

[gotrice93]

the part that i really didn't like about the car is the back. if they would have went with a straight body instead of trying a wide body it wouldn't look bad

[Bmer89]

^^ yeah it looks like they ran out of creativity back there...

[gotrice93]

the front also looks alot like the s2000 at an angle

[Domesticated]

the windshield frame and seats are carbon fiber, they put a lot of cf on it

[MetaEnder]

the front also looks alot like the s2000 at an angle

Yeah, S2000 squashed with a Charger.

[SW-21turbo]

thats why I don't like it because it's ugly but I was trying to be polite about it. it looks like an audi TT wanna be

[Bmer89]

^^ you won't hurt the car's feelings if you call it ugly lol ;)

[SW-21turbo]

LOL true but yeah it's hidious

[Domesticated]

everybody says the calibers look ugly too, but i think they look awsome

My Mustang GT cost $26,600 without leather.

And it has a "back seat" which I prefer to think of as small, leather shelves to hold the stuff I don't want in the front seat, with my GF. Blanket, bible, 2L soda, gloves, McDs wrappers, etc..

I once put two people back there and it sucked for all of us. Try heel-toeing with the seat all the way forward.

Is their SRT model a V6? If they don't put a 300hp V8 in it, it'll be doomed. The sound alone, would sell it.

[JetBlack]

Here's why the front looks like an S2000 and the back looks like a 350Z. Look who the exterior designer is:

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

[d112crzy]

I actually like the look of the Demon.

I seriously hope that 170hp is coming from an I4 motor and not a v6.

[SW-21turbo]

caliber is actually nice.

[Domesticated]

yea its just the n/a 2.4 VVT. im assuming they went with the getrag six speed...wait i wonder if i could get my hands on whatever they used, make my project much easier... the srt will have the 300+hp caliber srt-4 engine. and if its got an srt4 engine in it, it wouldnt need to be a v8 to sell. they sound like sex anyway

[MetaEnder]

I wanna see a hard top on this thing! Haha.

[d112crzy]

they sound like sex anyway
You really think so? I've always hated the way skittles exhausts sounded.

[JetBlack]

The back looks like a Pokemon character, trying to squeeze one out.

[Domesticated]

lol thats awsome

[gotrice93]

The back looks like a Pokemon character, trying to squeeze one out.

Dave was going through his Pokemon collection trying to figure out which one it was. I can just picture it "I choose you PIKACHU"
