Default Dodge Caliber SRT4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Caliber

wiki =
It produces 285 hp (213 kW) at 6,400 rpm, and 265 lb·ft (359 N·m) of torque at 5,600 rpm using the Mitsubishi TD04HL4S-20 turbo. Edmunds tested one on a chassis dynamometer and obtained 281 hp (210 kW) and 261 lb·ft (354 N·m) of torque at the wheels. Edmunds called the manufacturer's rating conservative
I do know dyno boasting sheer numbers can be 100% meaningless, but i figured it'd be worth atleast the time to read it since it came from a reputable Magazine, assuming they dyno all their cars, and all the cars usually dyno to the wheels lower than the manufacturer output ratings.

Anyways, I lined up next to one, didnt really know what it was, i just saw SRT4 and the words turbo and knew i wanted some.

We ran 60-110ish, 2 lane freeway, we took off and i pulled a few lengths and kept a steady lead, dont normally like going over 100, didnt realize it till i looked down at rpms and saw 110, and let off, he flies past in the left lane.

Thing surprised me, and was really quick, that is until i got back and looked it up, and im surprised i kept up with it like i did, especially since wiki says the car weighs 3050lbs, i had a trunk full of luggage and he had a passenger

Mods in my sig, basically have 4.77s, full bolt ons and tune

I ran at the track against 3 different caliber srt-4's.

They trapped higher and were definitely faster than me, but i beat their times every single pass.

Can't drive
