There's a reason the SRT4 isn't an automatic.

Best of luck with the new ride, Tbat...looks good with the Sebring wheels. At least you didn't trade up for a powder blue Prius! I saw one the other day and couldn't stop laughing... laugh

i think that is that guys way of coming out of the closet. i believe that it is imperative that anyone that drives a powder blue prius hand over their man card.

edit: insert miata joke here

we don't need to make jokes about your Miata Corey, just seeing a man drive one is good enough for a laugh or two.

Congrats on the new ride Tbat, the novelty of getting something new is always nice. Though I was never really a fan of sebrings/concordes.

Tim, there is a HUGE power difference in automatic and manual 4 bangers.

my friend has the Dream Cruiser Series 3 and he could stay with a stock SRT-4. That was BEFORE he put mods on his car.

Actually all of the turbo engine hardware is the same...the only difference is the control box tuning. The High Output turbo in the GT cruiser is 220hp stock...with either 5spd manual or Autostick automatic (this requires premium fuel)...my Touring model is 180hp with either tranny. I can however add the Mopar performance stage 1 control box and immediately jump to 235-240hp as long as I run premium fuel (mine only calls for 87 but I wont put that crap in turbo engine)
I have also read that it is in your best interest and life of your auto trans that if you go too full throttle and boost while cruising in OD, pull the gear lever down to 3rd before stabbing the throttle. Selecting 3rd engages two clutch paks and unlocks the converter...if youare running the stage 1 box this is essential for tranny life.

On another note I had a Magnaflow crossflow muff added yesterday with twin outlet pipes. The sound is nice and deep with no ricey, fart can spit-n-sput...full throttle makes a nice angry growl and minimal drone at hi-way speed. Nice to get a good working system on the first try!
check out the pics...

Lemme guess, the mod bug infection is both chronic AND terminal, huh? Have the thing for a few days and it's ALREADY getting tweaked on.

Ya know, there is a very simple way to get your BOV to go "squish" on those mopar turbo engines, I dont know how to do it, but I watched it on DIY, it was on the show "Tricked Out", I'm sure you could find it somewhere on the web

blurring the plate is just a habit for posting pics online...I dont always remember to do it. The "SUN RNNR" plates were transfered from the Sebring...I'llbe getting a different set for this car.

As far as the "chick car" comment goes, I've heard that one already...then again I've seen plenty of old ladies driving GPs...especially the SE models. lol
