I bought mine when they were still rare and in high demand. people now have been getting them brand new for under 20K sometimes even as low as 17,18 depending on the area and the options. The MSRP can range from about 23K to 27.5 fully loaded. But there is no reason why someone should be paying anywhere MSRP right now!

I'm not even paying anymore attention to him anymore. I could care less what he thinks of my car. I've been moding it a whole month and a half. Maybe if I would have had years to do things then it would be perfect.

i think that 0-60 time is bs... you said it was cold out, you proly got off in first pretty decent then when you grabbed second you spun and you made the computer think you were going 60+ but really 50mph but spinning...


i see this **** all the time... show me track times... i could give you a pic of my scanforce saying i did it in 3.2 seconds... i think its still on there actually...

not hating just being real

Thanks! The funny thing about my mileage is with the FIC (Fuel Ignition Controller) and the tune my mileage has gone up a lot. Driving aggresive I probably get 24-25 in the City and on the highway 31-35. Driving in normal traffic I get 26-28 in the city and 39-41 on the highway. So the gas mileage is probably the best out of any car that I have ever had.

At a light or moving the car pretty much does great. If someone is going to beat me right now its going to be at a light. My all season tires suck and I'm still adjusting to the new clutch. I'm also not use to how quickly you have to shift in the first several gears because the power comes in so fast. If I race anyone I keep shifting late in gears 1-3.

I actually didn't get traction in first and it grabbed in second and 3rd. There is always going to be someone that says something isn't true. I had people telling me before I got my dyno that there was no way I was making 400 HP but I was glad to prove them wrong. When I get to the track I will be glad to prove you wrong...no offense. I haven't been to the track yet I got all this done in the winter no tracks are open. Now my cars going back into the shop for a few weeks to have the fic checked out. Then I get to find money for some summer tires...So who knows when I will actually go. But my numbers have already been proven by others with the same mods or less at the track. So I really have nothing to prove. It's already been done...There are already 600 whp calibers and now that I have my new daily driver mine will eventually be one of them.

When did I ever say I have winter tires? I have Goodyear Eagle RSA All season tires.......

And you can factor in whatever you want. I know of a caliber with the same mods as mine that has achieved a 0-60 in 4 seconds even....So I don't really understand what your point is.

Racing someone at a light it a lot different then being out on a street by yourself doing runs. But at some point this summer I will go to the track and then we will see who's right and who's wrong.

i have no doubt in my mind those times can be achived at the track... i never questioned you or your potential... just that the time that you currently posted i feel imo from my own experience that time is highly inacurate... that is all... with 400whp and good tires my grandma could run a 4.4 0-60... you took it from the begining that i was hating on you or your minivan when im not... i like it, one of the cleaner ones... i prefer white but, im just hating on the 4.4

well ok we can just agree to disagree then. BTW they don't come in white. That is something that we have discussed on the caliber boards several times. They just came out with a blue which I like better than my black but it wasnt available when I bought mine so oh well. White would look good too...It's weird white is one of the most common colors on the road yet they didnt make them in white.
