Top Speed: Stock vs. Tuned
Nice to know that these things can hit 170 when tuned.

Tell that to Car and Driver, Motor trend, and every other major AUto Journalist that has driven them. Even 1BadSS/SC who had one has videos of him not ever getting traction. Thats the reason why the SS/SC edges out the CSRT4 is every test, it just couldn't hook up.
"In contrast, the Dodge Caliber SRT4s high center of gravity, persistent body motions, and understeer made it a challenge to make the most of its 285 turbocharged horses. Not helping the cause was an open front differential that resulted in one tire spinning madly whenever the engine was sucking in boost. Lapping the Dodge was an exercise in managing understeer; no other vehicle abused its front tires as sadistically as the Caliber. But this weakness sometimes worked in its favor because the understeer inspired confidence and allowed for fast corner entries."

You are wrong dude, give it up. I have driven a stock one and it spins as long as you give it full throttle.

I used to work at a Chrysler dealership so I got the chance to put some miles on a CSRT4 and they are garbage of the line. That's why their 0-60 time is over 6sec. And if you manage to keep this thing from switching lanes unintentionally on you everytime you put your foot into it (especially from a roll in 2nd gear) then your my hero lol.

your not getting the point. this has nothing to do with the size of the turbo in the car. the caliber also makes more power than our car stock. take it from someone whos been in both cars. driven my car stock...been in a stock srt4. been in a modded srt4. and have driven my car tuned. the caliber has more problems than the size of its turbo to blame on torque steer. its not that bad anyways.
