They need to do something at Honda. We used to be known as the most powerful engine per liter. Not anymore. Dam you Honda.
Smarten up Were you looking at Honda for power and torque? Honda is known for great cars. Not for powerful cars. If you just want to go fast on the cheap, there are plenty of ways to do it.

I will look with envy at the new Caliber's power and loads of torque when I look with envy at Mustangs and Camaros.

I don't hate Dodge. I like their designs if not their reliabilty. I have a Dodge diesel with 325hp and 610ft/lbs to tow trailers with

I used to hate Dodge until I drove in my friend's stage 3 SRT-4... that shut me up real fast, I have seen him smoke corvettes in it. If only they had come out with an AWD version, that wheel hop on FWD cars is a pain. Honestly anything the SRT group comes out with I'm sure is a good product, they haven't failed to impress me yet. As for the Dodge Demon, really nice looking car i'm just not sure how I feel about the base 180hp, unless they have changed it since I read about it. Now the one car I can't wait to see back out, the Dodge Challenger they did a great job resurecting it.

S2000 = fun.
FI S2000 = fast + fun.

Many other cars = fast.
Fast =/= fun.

I will admit the car looks pretty terrible, but I thought the same about the SRT-4. They do perform, and within a very reasonable price range. I guess it's all in your taste.

Is the Caliber SRT-4 supposed to be the replacement for the Neon SRT-4? Because as far as I can tell, the Caliber is a freakin SUV.

I'd wait for EVO X then decide to buy SRT or EVO... how fast would you go on normal sstreets.. well evo is fast, but not as fun as s2k.. and im not even racing my car or anything, and i dont need the speed of an evo.
theres a real racer and a wanna be racer... if you plan on racing you might want to compete in track.. i see alot of evo's thiking they all godly and shit on the street... so....

I dont know about dodge, never owned one.. but i dont like their designs... Jap car FTW... maybe i'm biased lol..

Those Dodges have decent performance, but only in a straight line.
