That Speed 12 on the other hand...
What padded-cell delinquent did they let out for a day to think up that concept?

The turbo lag is terrifying - when you finally get into the boost, it comes on like a crazed serial killer in your bed that you've somehow overlooked until you're just about to fall asleep.
I'd still not mind having one though!

Nice Caliber photo, though.

Can't decide between the Miata rat-rod or this.

I guess some cars just make people accept their mortality better.

You want to get more kids interested in physics? Take 'em to a track day chock full of 911's and give ride alongs. You really can feel the physics of that raucous flat 6 threatening to pass the rest of the car in any given corner.

There's something about the SRT4 that i like, though. The more over-the-top styling actually works. The huge wheels, outrageous body kit and different hood cut line make it look much more aggressive. The hood cut line alone was more pleasing aesthetically on the SRT4, and i don't know why they didn't do it the same on all Calibers.
I would have considered one if it weren't for the god-awful interior. I've seen better plastics in the Rubbermaid aisle at Home Depot.

Joey: Boss, should I shoot him gangland or executioner style?

However, until there is a fundamental shift in the market, American car makers will always have a tough time selling sporty compacts.
Buyers that like compacts, like Hondas, and buyers that like American cars like V8s and RWD.
The 4 banger isn't a deal breaker for me, but wrong wheel drive is.
It's an impressive powertrain in the SRT4, so I think that Dodge should Fiero-fy it (or MR2-ize it, for you Fiero haters), and drop it into a mid-rear 2 seater, and bring us the M4S that we (or at least, I) have lusted after for the past 2 decades.
Done right, and priced around $25k, they could sell quite a few of them, but given the limited market for 2-seaters, it would probably be better to build it to a higher standard, and undercut the base model Corvette by $5k-$10k, and try to get a higher margin on each vehicle to make up for lack of volume.
