that wasnt 0-60

more like 5-60

 

hair over 7 seconds.

 

Damn thats slow lol

 

There are other SRt4 Caliber video's in his collection. I'm waiting for track times

 

i think they will probably be very similar to MS3 track times.
though i think it may have trouble getting 13s stock...

 

Only time slips will tell.....

 

well arnt they veryy heavy?

 

keep in mind that a 5-60 run is gonna be slower than a 0-60 run. People never seem to realize that. They think b/c since they are already at 5mph, they are gonna be quicker to 60 than if they were at a dead stop.

Read Car and Driver, Motor Trend or R&T's test data for any car and you'll see what im talking about.

That being said, I personally like the SRT-4 Caliber. Consdiering its direct competition is an HHR SS and MS3, I think it fits well in that group, as they are all funky styled turbo wagons.

Plus, it'd kick my cars ass any day.

 

"I believe that is under 6 seconds." HAHAHAHA... yea right...

later

 

definitely not under 6 seconds. more like over 7 seconds. DUMB ASS! hahaahaa MOPAR FTL!

 

i was at the chevy dealership and they had the new road and track or car and driver, can't remember wich one. it did 0-60 in 6.3 and the 1/4 in 14.5 that's good comp for a ss/sc

 

the 5-60 or "street start" tests are a forced "clutch out" test, to show the real world acceleration.
that is the reason they are slower from 5-60, as the car is low in the powerband, and not at its peak.

a 5-60 will be faster than a 0-60 if the clutch is used correctly.

 

them things are a new breed of a car a minivan and a suv all in one. the bitch is ugly imo. ill take a hhr ss over that. plus chrystler products suck *****..

 

gauges look like ****

 

sounds good though. I agree about the gauges. U would htink they would know that since the car its self is ugly as hell. They should at least give it a good interior

 

lol tru, what are these car makers thinking these days. out with the old and in with the new, but damn the new is for the most part shittier than the old. we'll all be driving around in vegatable powered cars here in the neafr future

 

AGREED 2X...I replayed it and his time was 7 seconds minimum, I started the video counter at 6 seconds and he said 60 at like 13-14 seconds into the video.

AGREED 2X..... very cheap looking!

AGREED 2X
HHR-SS is seems really nice.... I'll have to drive one!

 

Caliber SRT-4= complete failure. Why wouldn't they keep the Neon SRT-4!?

 

I loved and still love the NEON SRT4...it's great bang for the buck... but, it's out of production and they are not going to run a production line for 1 niche market car

the Caliber SRT4 is a huge disappointment to me

 

Doesn't look too impressive to me.

 

i dont care if its fast or not, i think it looks like ****
