The SRT-4's are just an awesome little package.

Unfortuntely, the target demographic that owned those cars watched too much Fast and Furious and spent a little too much time in the internet forums trying to make more power without getting the hands dirty, by fooling with the PCM. This creates problems. Big time.

The all-time most hilarious "mod" to an SRT 4 is an aftermarket exhaust ($$$$$$). The factory one is straight-thru: can't get any better than that can you? So if that crowd can fall for "cold air" kits, (on a turbocharged engine??? WTH? ) and exhaust systems that does nothing, then you can just imagine how the rest of the car is boogered up.

If you can find one with low miles and is bone stock (good luck), GET IT.

Anything like the one you described, leave it for some other chump.

Sorry if this sounds like a rant, but I looked for an SRT-4 for a long time and just gave up because of all the hack-jobs out there.
