A few years ago, I wanted to buy a fun car, like an STI, or Lancer Evolution, but I just didn't want to pay $20k minimum for something decent. That's when I looked into the SRT 4. I found that I could get way less milage, and a way faster car, for THOUSANDS less! I found a rich guy in Florida who purchased the car at 50k miles and had it built into the monster that it is today, then decided to get into building a new truck so he sold the SRT to me. I bought it with 58k miles and drove it up to Virginia. In the past three years I've put on only 13,000 miles. The fact is, I have two kids, want a third, and I want to cash out to pay off some debt. That's the only reason. I will truly be sore for years about selling this car and my son will be mad at me one day when he figures out that I sold out the car that could have been his. The car runs and drives more than great, which brings me to the description of the goods about this car.
CLEAN TITLE. The car was professionally built and tuned to 455 Horsepower to the wheels. This process began with all new, bullet proof internals in the head of the engine to handle the larger amount of boost from the upgraded Borg Warner S256 70mm Turbo. Right now the 455 whp is on a conservative tune of 23 lbs. of boost on pump gas. The car can handle that power like it's nothing because the car was built to handle 30+ lbs. of boost and has a tune option for race gas (The care has never gone there, and I have never wanted to go there...the car is scary fast as it is).
I didn't do the upgrades myself and I can't remember everything that was done. The list below covers most of the upgrades and if you are interested in the part specifics, send me a question and I'll get in touch with the previous owner to find out for you.
Borg Warner S256 70mm Turbo
Big front mount intercooler
Diablo Sport Predator Tune (Comes with handheld computer programmer)
3" Full exhaust system and downpipe with a Magnaflow muffler out to dual 3" pipes.
AGP Wastegate

6k HID headlights AND fog lights

WOT Box (Allows for shifting while at wide open throttle and maintaining boost - I didn't use this feature, but if you're racing and you have the balls for it, it's there)
Launch Control system (I have never launched the car)
Upgraded Engine internals including Brian Crower 18 cams
Cam gears
Eibach Lowing springs
An air fuel ratio gauge
An Aeroforce Interceptor gauge with dual display ($400) that gives you real time data on anything you want to know like horsepower output, knock retard, transmission temp., etc.
4 inch wide JMB cold air intake with a K&N filter
MSD Spark Plug Wires
Aftermarket taillights
Smaller race battery
Sale includes a straight pipe to replace exhaust with if you're going to race (I've never used it).
There's more that I'm sure I'm missing. Overall, the car has $14,000 in part upgrades resulting in a ridiculously awesome car that will embarrass just about any car you can find on the road.
Now I want to be honest and clear about how this car has been used. It was stock until somewhere after 50k miles when it was professionally built. When completed, the builder took it to the drag strip to test it out. He recorded a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds. He posted the video on youtube.com which you can watch at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aleuhPeqRTg.
Two months later, I purchased the car. I'm almost thirty years old. I have never ever ever been to a race track/drag strip with this car, nor have I ever gone out "racing" in it. I have never raced from a dig (starting from being completely stopped). Occasionally, honestly hardly ever given that I usually have kids in the car and there's always traffic, someone on the freeway wants to see what I've got so I'll pull in one gear and then let off. I've seen the dyno screen of the power and I know the car delivers monster power up to 7400 rpms, but I've never past 6500 or so - you'll know why when you drive it. Again, the car was built to handle this kind of power and the best part is, if you treat it nicely as I have, it's going to be an awesome reliable car. I've had no reliablility issues with it at all. When I was buying the car, I was worried about buying a modded car. The builder explained to me that so much had been replaced with stronger, better parts, that I was really getting a more dependable car with a longer life than a stock one. After three years, I can tell you, he was right. The only thing I've had to do mechanically besides maintaing it (I do mobile 1 synthetic oil changes), was change the clutch disc. The funny part about that, was that I changed it because I thought the clutch was slipping at the top end of first and second gear....turns out, I was just spinning my tires =0 So I didn't need the disc replaced, but replaced it is anyway. Now I have the better NT05 tires on and wheel spin is greatly reduced. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and I can think of nothing that needs replacing now, or even in the distant future.
Not everything about the car is show ready, here are some not so good realities about this car:
I have the car Plasti Dipped matte black which I had done by a local guy. He didn't do a great job (there is some texture in the surface), I still like the look, but if you don't like it, you can just peel it off (google plasti dip or youtube it to learn more) and beneath it you have a the factory flame red paint job with carbon fiber hood and trunk. The trunk shows some early signs of clouding in the finish of the carbon fiber.
On the top part of the dash there is a vent that the plastic has broken out of. It's a common problem in the SRT4, and doesn't bother me much and no one seems to notice. You could replace the dash top for about $100 or make your own mesh vent cover or something.
The driver's side seat has some signs of wear that are VERY common in SRT4s, and mine aren't that bad. There is one dime sized tear in the lower part of the seat, and some cracking in the upper right part of the seat. Again, very common in all srt4 seats.
You'll notice in the vehicle history report that there was a front end incident with a parked car. When it was down in Florida, the previous owner was leaving a parking space and thought he had enough turning radius to get by...he didn't and scuffed the bumper. New bumper, no problems, no signs that anything happend at all.
That's all the bads.
The opportunity to own this car is too good to pass up. If you want super car performance but don't have $75,000, this is it! 71k miles is low for SRT-4s and it's going to be a reliable, awesome car for years to come. This one is like no other, you'll be VERY happy with it.

We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
