What do you guys think of them? I've been checking out the car market around here, and they seem to be a lot cheaper than I expected. They only thing I'm not too keen on is the Auto tranny. But for ~$12000....Pretty sure my next car in the future will be a rwd coupe.

They're kinda tempting.

My cousin has one, and it's straight NASTY. I hate that it's auto, but it's still fun as hell to drive. It's how a sports car should be IMO. Long, sleek, and tiny (:lol:). I dig 'em.

Basic bolt ons and a tune and you can get them into the 12s, and they sound really nice with an aftermarket exhaust.

^ You're lying. They aren't in the same "speed/power" class as SRTs, but they are mad quick.

Yeah, the auto is the biggest turn off for me. This is really the only car from Chrysler that I'm interested in for the future though.
The car market down here is so different from the rust belt. You can actually find a lot of cars that are 10yr old w/o any rust.

If it had been built in the US with an MTX, yeah, I would like. It was nice to drive at the SRT Track Experience but I only see "Mercedes" with Chrysler wings when I look at one.

Fast and Fun is the mtx way though.
After driving only mtx for the past two years I would probably never own an auto car, unless it was a built turbo car, or a POS work car.

Advance has the filters at $25 each. Doesn't seem too out there, you just need two of them.
