    They're running around CTC all the time. I think they look pretty damn good, and the one we were showing at Mopar Nats at the trailer was quite nice inside. I'm still not big on them, but it's alright I guess.

    I'm not at all a fan of caliber's in general and this is no exception. Even with that being said I would still like some time behind the wheel of one. I'm sure it will be a while before I see one around here.

    Re: Uhh...

    I cant wait untill the turbo 2.4 is stuffed into the avenger. It shouldnt require much more then a harness, and its a much larger, more practical car.

    and then all I would need is a wrecked one to swap my 08.... haha

    I've only seen one without a manufacturer's plate running around so far. I hate to admit it, but it doesn't look all that bad. The front of it is pretty menacing.

    The R/T Avernger is sweet, 18" wheels and 14" brakes. It has the 3.5 24v V6 and AWD. What they need to do is put some real tires and wheels under the Avenger and turbo the V6. 400 HP from a 3.5 is a cake walk and AWD would make it a real killer. SRT 6 anyone?

    The Masduh 3 turbo is great, the first POS FWD from Japan that has a faster 1/4 mile ET than the 84 Dodge Colt turbo. But the Colt had a gearing advantage, they pull 4,000 RPM in forth at 70 MPH and weigh nothing. Can't wait for the street drags to reopen, going to make a lot of money this summer

    Re: Uhh...

    yeah... i think the new avenger looks like ALL the other chrysler cars.. should have stuck with it being a 2door. just for kicks. but i suppose all the kids that had the avenger in highschool are not having families and the 4door makes sense in that manner.

    as for the caliber... it's got something unique about it. not sure what it is. don't think i'd want one... but it's not terrible either

    Re: Uhh...

    i've checked with the dealers in my area and they say they should have them sometime next year, probably when the challenger comes out too. I'm not a big fan of the regular caliber, but I do want to check out the SRT4 version of it.

    Interesting that a few of the first things on the list were things to strengthen the open-deck block.

    Yup, its a $15,000 option. It involves removing the radiator cap, and driving an Neon SRT4 under it.
