Fixed......

I think we can agree all young minded car owners are naive fanboi's of their own kind.

Me personally the CSRT is no joke once modded. But doesn't mean that the SS/TC is total junk, just not for everyone.

Also being the caveats at hand with it, we cannot determine how fast the LNF will really go.

The TC is the best all around performer for the money. It has the best handling, and good straightline performance.

However, where the CSRT lacks in cornering, it makes up for in straightline and sheer power. Not to mention overall, it is a better DD when it comes to features, comfort, and room.

I guess its one of those things where you have to own both to appreciate them.

Hey 1BAD, you forgot to price in slicks and wheels for your 10 second calculation

But its still pretty damn cheap for the performance you get.

The only reason I didn't get an SRT4 was I personally didn't like the looks, otherwise I would have picked one up, I'm mostly a straight-line racer, so it would have been the better choice, I just personally don't like the style.

I find it to be 30/70 - hate/like in terms of looks.

I love it and i've always like the hatchback look. I like it even more knowing its not for everyone. to each there own.

I think the SS/TC's are handsome, I wish GM would have gone a little more aggressive with the looks tho.

that phrase is like nails on a chalkboard to me. when people say it, people still have literally no idea what all is done to the car at hand.

I think they are both good looking cars, I just have trouble getting past the dodge name plate. I am also a little pissed that they did not produce the Dodge demon as RWD SRT. its just going to be a sad fwd vert .

If this car ever gets to production THEY BETTER DAMN WELL NOT make it FWD. Man, what a ******* joke of a roadster that would be. Beautiful engine, 2600 lbs, and fail wheel drive...

That would be like hooking up with a supermodel at a bar, bringing her home, and finding out she has a *****....

Best statement in this thread, and I think both you and Russo can attest to it.

Agreed, but you can't have everything, hey at least they gave us a turbo not a supercharger.

Nope...I'll give the vehicle respect since it's due, it has an agressive look, but the "type" of vehicle simply wasn't for me...I didn't feel right sitting in it *shrug*. If the SS/TC and CSRT-4 sat side-by-side today with the same pricing I would buy my TC all over again .

didnt read thread at all, but they are sweet cars. have alot of potential but have tuning issues. FAST. I ran a modded one with Intake, FMIC, CP, HKS BOV. 325whp. He ran 13.8 I ran 13.6. I should have been faster since im tuned its just learning how to launch and **** that im not great at, but in the 1/4 you should beat them, beyond that they start catching up

yea, learning to launch this car has been a bitch to me. But I don;t think its soo much the CSRT as it is just a Turbo car in general. I make it fall on its face everytime at the light unlike my SS/SC i could just keep it steady.... 13.8 was my best time in the SS/SC.... thats my best time to date with with car too and this car asn't half as modded. still learning tho. Only 3K on the odom

The CSRT is a fail launcher. You will need the TCS, tires, and engine mounts.

Starting to see that. I got that 13.8 with a 2.2 60 and by far I thought it was like a 2.0 the way it felt over all the other 2.3's and 2.4's I was getting lol.
