speed4341- I hate the caliber, but that's a damn clean caliber.
-Eric Smit
I don't like the regular Calibers, but I love my SRT4 Caliber.
bought the car new for $20k and put a few $k into mods and it runs like a scalded dog. It was the fastest car I could buy NEW for under $30,000 in 2008.
It now makes right at 330whp and 350wtq on stock turbo, stock clutch, stock wastegate, and a very safe 17.5 psi tune.
here is my mod list:
