I'm done with the Cavi...SRT-4's RULE!
Tuesday, August 14, 2007 9:30 AM
Yes you seen this right, I'm done with the J-Body platform. No power, no resale value, terrible fitment, etc.

I have found a 2004 Dodge SRT-4 ....this thing ROCKS! I cant believe I thought a cavalier was a nice car until I drove this and sold the Cavalier for it. What a difference, no speed limiter, Turbo!, awesome ride and incredible power potential with simple bolt-ons.

Thanks for all the help many on here have given me in the past....I have not been on here in a while, I know, but I have found greener pastures and a truly exclusive car.

The most I ever got out of the Cavi, was a wimpy 142.3 HP!!! Weak...this thing puts out 243.4 at the wheels!

Was the fact that you bought a N/A economy car, that was slow, and had little to no resale value not painfully obvious to you from day one?

Correct! - I should have just looked at something that was going to fit the bill. Trying to make something out of nothing was a bad move on my part.

Life is like that, some good decisions...some not so good.

Its got pretty tight steering and little body roll. A nice smooth ride, not harsh and loud like the Cavi was.

This has the limited stlip on it - no problems there.

It is the 04 and has revised computer controls for a little more power over the 03's.

Kicker sound system.

Thanks WHITE CAVY - your ride is looking better than ever!

SRT-4 ONLY MADE IN 2003-2004-2005

2003 - No limited slip and fair tires

2004 - Limited Slip and better tires and better interior upgrades

2005 - Change of tires again, not a bad tire choice, and some ACR models

I agree. SRT-4 can't go wrong.

And actually.
2003 Had the Michelin tires (better) and no LSD.
2004-05 Had the BFGs (worse) but power upgrade and LSD.
2005 ACR came in and was the best SRT-4.

All tests concluded that the standard Michelin gave better lateral G (grip) then the standard BFGs on the later years. Reason DCX dropped the Michelins, was because of the cost.

I stand corrected Mr Goodwrench...my bad.

0-60 is at 5.8 seconds

Still fastest production car for Dodge for under 20,000 back then...and fastest Dodge that year other than the Viper!!!

the 05's have oil leak problems. I was considering an SRT4 as an upgrade and did a lot of research, 04 was the BEST year. 03 had trans problems, 04 had no problems, and 05 has oil leak issues,


no matter my cavalier would still walk all over an srt4... to bad I sold it
