Default For those that considered getting an SRT-4...

Sorry, I just came across this article... I think it speaks for itself. No matter how fast it is stock or mod potential, I will personally never have faith in ANY Diamler/Chrysler product. Make sure you read the last part about the possibility that they won't even continue making the SRT-4!!!

So they found a problem. it also says they are taking steps to fix it.. Its not all that uncommon for a new car to have problems. its just a matter of how the dealer handles it.

I believed it for a little while, then I looked at the website name and it didn't seem right. Plus it didn't seem to be written like a journalist would.

Look at the EVO VIII and the the new 350Z both with tranny problems and possible recall with the EVO on the trannys. And those are NOT FAKE details !
But that Dodge story is bogus.

My stepdad has worked for Dodge for 25+ years and I assure you that SRT-4's will be made for years to come. I am not a big Dodge fan but for 20k ya cant beat what ya get in the "Peon". Mopar has made quite an impact this year in NHRA as well, and you can bet your *** they will only get better with all the $$$$ behind the teams ! I am Honda all the way

Yeah, I figured all the typos and cropped pic that is out of whack would give it away pretty quick.

I second that, no sense in confusing someone searching for SRT-4 data later on. Delete or Lock this
