Goodbye Guys :( New Car Pics & Old Pics

Well,

I have been an nSRT4 owner since 04. Got my EBlue with 1 mile on her and loved the car. Babied it and enjoyed it from day one. Modded it like crazy as some of you remember. I appreciate all the support over the last 7-8 years and feel happy it was recognized as an SRT of the Month (srtforums). I have so much respect for these cars. Stage 3 was no joke.

I got to the point where I was done with the car and it was time to move on. I sort of was back and forth for about a year until I finally decided to sell. Luckily it sold for what I asked within two weeks of listing last August. I lived on w/ my PT GT Cruiser (for those who don't know, it has the 2.4 Turbo). Great daily but sucks on gas.

A few weeks ago I started getting the itch to move on to something new. I was always interested in the SRT-6, but figuring I would sell the DD, I wasn't sure I wanted a small 2 seater. Decided to look into getting something luxurious with a nice ride, roomy, and relatively quick. SRT-8 300 and CTS-V were my first choices as they are ~20-24k but also thought about the 135i/335i, new Genesis Coupe, E55, or possibly 5.0 stang (if I wasnted to disregard luxury).

Finally came across a fully loaded SRT-8 300 f/s nearby from an orig owner with 26k miles. All TSB's done and every document kept. Car was in immaculate shape with just one ding. Zaino'd and was garage kept. Showroom quality. Pulled the trigger and in the last 2 weeks have loved it. The car is a totally different animal than the SRT-4.

Attached are some pics of my old Neon, my PTGT daily, my new SRT-8, and my sis's BF's csrt. Thanks again for the love over the years. Time to join 300c and LX forums. Those in North Jersey may still see my SRT-4. Kid bought it in Teaneck and goes to the Edgewater meets. Unfortunately, he beats on it from what I hear and it's not in the same shape as most remember... owell -Bill

Very awesome rides you had, including the Saturn! You will be missed! Plans for the 300c?

You are going to stick around, right? I mean- you've got a Mopar SRT...

Bill good to see you post up and nice find! Are you leaving this one stock or are there plans in store like the SRT?

You were one of many who wanted that hood. Lol

Plans for the 300 SRT? Not really. Car has a transferable warranty until next year. After that I will get a predator tune and 180 Tstat. Stock intake is great (k&n drop in), but I may look into a cat back as the car is just too quiet. I just don't want it to be loud either.

Exterior wise I may look at a black roof, better grill, and modding the stock headlamps and fogs to make them black housing lights. Every aftermarket lamp is rice.

If I felt like anything else, it'd be BC coils and viper rep wheels, but I may play with Plastidip on the stockers just to see.

I never thought I'd be the day I drive a silver car. Worst color ever but I just could not pass up the deal and condition of the car. Thing is immaculate.

Nice pick up on the srt4 im in a similar situation not knowing if i want to keep or sell my neon.

Just my .02 on the plastidipping the wheels. Ive had plasi dip on my wheels for over a year now and from my experience.
1. It will look awesome right off the bat, and stay that way for 1-3 months.
2. The shade will become extremely dull and tire looking, and will be hard to keep even a matte look.
3. The plasti dip holds onto brake dust like a bitch and to get it off you need to really scrub the wheels.

Just wanted to give you heads up from one plasti dipper to another.

Some locals with srt-8 chargers/chargers have been saying you will forget your srt4 once you throw a cam in the srt8... just sayin

Welcome to the SRT-8 Family! If you need a hand with mods or anything let me know! I might know a thing or two

.

BTW Silver on these cars are amazing when shined up (I might be bias LOL). SO easy to keep clean

Id strongly recommend the mopar cat back. Its not too loud and its not too quiet. Just my 2 cents. Congratz on the car!
