So the latest Caliber SRT-4 ad in Sport Compact Car claims the car will come with a real deal Getrag 6 speed manual transaxle. Is everyone thinking what i'm thinking? Thoughts?

Didn't see the ad though. . . skimming . . .September?
I can't find it. If it is possible someone will do it, you know this!

according to the srt engineers the bell housings are different and will not match up

couldnt you use another bellhousing?

you would have to find one that matches both the trans and the engine. there is a slim chance that the nv-t350 trans bellhousing will work.

Caliber SRT-4 without AWD < WRX.

idk.. that caliber is givin the wrx and the mazdaspeed3 a run for its money.

yea with 0-60 in 6.2 and the quarter mile in 14.6... woo real run for the money.

the sti is fast but the wrx is slower and it makes that same time in the 1/4 mi

EDIT: and how much would you spend for a brand new wrx compared to an srt4?

Nobody has tried the G-288 that comes in the turbo PT yet.......

^What are the specs on that trans? I was under the impression that aside from the 01 that came with the 4.12 diff, all the others were the standard 3.94, same as the mag.

If I remember correctly, the Caliber SRT-4 was to be Dodge's answer to Subaru in that it would be able to compete head-to-head with AWD (seeing that it was to be designed with AWD, unlike the Neon SRT-4). So, without being AWD, the Caliber SRT-4 is pointless. And ugly.[/off-topic]

Caliber RT with AWD is a slug -- which brings up the point of WHY make a slower RT with AWD and not the SRT which is supposed to be some 300 hp??

If they made the SRT Caliber AWD I would consider buying it, but if they keep it FWD then it will never come close to compeating with a WRX.

... or a Neon SRT.

If you go to caliberforums.com (i think that's correct) there's a guy there who has an SRT-4 Caliber that he got on an advanced, customer feedback style lease. He says its FWD and not AWD. It does come with a 6spd and I think it's either the Getrag DMT-6 or the Aisin BG-6.

Here's a link to turbododge.com that has pics of it.http://www.turbododge.com/forums/f11/f3 ... rt4-4.html. The moderators were being douches and shut the thread in this one but its still kool.

Here's another link to caliberforums.com, http://www.caliberforums.com/forums/sho ... php?t=4468. This is that lease thing I was talking about. It's called FastFeedBack. The caliber srt-4 doesn't even come out until tomorrow, officially. (this was posted on the 16th).

The link is to a video of a few different SRT-4 Calibers at a track.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmhlStv1IPw

When it comes here, I'm checking it out, and I'm gonna see if with my new raise, I can get one.

hmm i may have to go test drive one if they come to my area.
