Out with the old NSRT4 and In with the new CSRT4!

JuniorMT · Post by **JuniorMT** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 3:45 am

Finally found it inside of me to trade in the Neon SRT4. And decided to get the new CSRT4!

This car is VERY VERY Impressive and is by far the most comfortable Turbo car I have driven! This car has a lot of bells and whistles, but still offers the oomph that is very well impressing, to say the least for a stock car.

Here are pics of the new 2008 Caliber SRT-4

Tell me what you think!

Damn it looks badass in black.

But please...don't...ever take a side shot of the caliber. It looks nothing short of a tank.

I really want one but I don't like payments

Congrats on the new car, but I can't believe you got rid of your Neon! You had a lot done to it didn't you?

So thats why you put your SRT back to stock, to trade in for a Caliber

Whoa whoa whoa... I had a spaz attack when I first opened this page up and hit the red X.

WTF. Didn't you just rebuilt your engine!?!?!? And didn't your Neon produce 500 plus horses!?!?!? Wouldn't that build make it feel like a new car!?!?!?

I don't believe you.

I think the CSRT-4 is your daily driver. There would be no way in hell you would trade in a Neon SRT-4 at a dealership and get near to nothing for it.. I may be wrong.

Impulse buys FTL.

It looks okay I guess. :S

I don't know why, but in this pic they look like a couple of bad-ass mini-vans!

I kinda like the CSRT's, but not enough to trade a NSRT for one...

Nice Caliber SRT-4 but I liked your original srt-4 better though.

How's the handling? Does it feel heavy around the corners?

JuniorMT · Post by **JuniorMT** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 12:50 pm

This car is a major surprise and to me seems like Dodge corrected everything that was wrong with the neon, in this car.

Hell I have rear power windows now!

The car handles like a champ and feels more planted than a stock neon, when I lower this thing, it will be a world of a difference but for stock, it is VERY NICE!

I love this car a lot, although, my blue one will be missed, this one is more suitable for my needs now....i <3 a warranty now

Even though I traded in my blue nsrt4, We still have the 636HP/597TQ Red NSRT4 my mother Lucille owns, so its not like I am at a complete loss for the neon crew.

Nice ride, i still like the neon srt-4 better but the csrt-4 is nice

Before you lower it make sure the transport spacers are off the struts they are bright orange bumpstop looking things with slots cut in them so the just slide off.

We went and drove one today its quite nice I think when I grow up and tire of the near solid suspension on the acr I might just get one.

hmmm i think i would wrather see a SRT version of the avenger ...

or at least a longer back end on the caliber ... to take away from the mini-suv look and put it more into the station wagon ...

this makes me sad

JuniorMT · Post by **JuniorMT** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:13 am

Dont feel I am a traitor, just because I went to a CSRT4. I will still defend the neon name, as they have earned a place in my heart and all.

The neon was very fun, i just needed something more practical for my daily use, you know, not having to worry about pump gas and race fuel in the car all the time.

The red one CSRT4 pictured above is my friend BJ's, and is not mine, just the black one

Besides, We Still have a Red Neon SRT4 in the family, and that one is never leaving our possession

I kinda wanna trade my Inferno red '04 R/T for an Inferno red CSRT4! For some reason the CSRT4 reminds of one of my other favorite dodge cars?!

Post by **Canada** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 9:38 am

Looks good man!

I am glad you didn't buy it in Red or Orange.

It looks best in Silver, then black. I say you SLAM it and leave it, other than a little more Speed.

What?!

It looks like a truck/SUV

Nothing like those two cars.

So when are you going to void the warranty Junior?

i think they look like old durango's a little bit...that's why i like them...i also wanted a durango

I think the only colour for the Caliber is black. nothing else. It takes away the cheap black piece of plastic running above the windows. good choice on the black and the SRT-4! enjoy!

It drives nothing like an L-body much more like a mini van.

JuniorMT · Post by **JuniorMT** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 3:59 pm

The CSRT4 drives nothing like a minivan, so dont get it confused. This car is a great handling machine, and it has enough power to put a lot of things to shame.

Everyone seems to knock it without really giving the car a chance.

My CSRT4 left the lot with 11 miles, it now has 238 miles on it, as I wanted to really get to know the car right away...and i have yet to refill the tank. according to the gas meter, i have 110miles left to empty

People often make the mistake of looking at a new car and comparing it to another. The best way to evaluate a cars true performance is to look at how much better it is than the base model.

My '84 GLH back in 1984 couldnt compare performance wise with the fastest cars of its time. Compare its performance with the base 1984 Omni. Thats where it becomes impressive.

The same with the CSRT4! Compare it to the 18sec 1/4 mile times and pathetic handling of the base model Caliber and then youll see how far the SRT team came!

The NSRT4 and CSRT4 werent made to be compared to one another.

who cares what people think...if you like it that's cool...
