I think the guy is a moron. He probably has 30,000 miles on those plugs and never changed or even checked them. Some people just shouldn't own performance vehicles.
Plugs just don't last on boosted applications. I changed my stock plugs (Copper Champions) at about 20,000 miles; I checked the gaps (supposed to be .050") and they were worn out to about .070"... hmm no wonder I was having spark problems. Probably the only thing that helped me was I am using an MSD Ignition.
I now have NGK Iridiums and checked them the other day and they are fine -- even with 20,000 miles on them now (odometer just rolled over 40k last week).

All I have to say is that, that kid is an idiot. Whoever pees on the car that they drive is a retard. Ne ways im not a fan of srt-4s but still its a good car no matter what ne one says. If they foul its probably cause u suck at driving, maybe if he got some better plugs he would be doing better.
