RE: Caliber SRT-4?????
We'll see. With the 50 trim I am also getting some traction bars, I want to see how well I hook up with them before I make that choice. I am hoping just DR's, because I can get them in my size w/o having to change rims. If I go slicks, which is hard to do with the ACR package because of the Tokico adjustables, it is going to be a PITA.

I drive an SRT-4 Neon (that currently puts 307 to the wheels on the stock turbo, and after this weekend with a double ball bearing 50 trim should put close (hoping for OVER) to 400). Am I laughable???

Methinks you give to much credit to the Evo, as it is just a fast Lancer (which is Mitsu's cheap car). The SRT is just a Neon after all is said and done, but people think Evo's are nice, solid cars, which they aren't. They are basically econoboxes. Expensive, fast, econoboxes. Kinda like SRT-4's.
And the AWD Caliber is a myth, like bigfoot. Yep, one day it may be found, but as of now, it's just a figment of someone's imagination.
If they make an AWD Caliber SRT-4, I think I may just have to buy one regardless of how ugly it may be. The interior in the Caliber is really nice for a crap car!!!! And lots of room!!!! OMG, I am making excuses to buy one already, someone HELP!!!!

yes..its coming out, and it will have more power than the SRT4 neon...and there is a good chance that it could be AWD...as it is built on a similar platform to the evo, and could basically be a detuned, wagon model of the evo.

Different motor, drivetrain, hell even the interior. The only thing these two cars share is the lancer name.
It's kinda like saying that a saleen is just a faster version of the 6 cyl stangs.

I don't understand how you can say that the lancer and lancer evolution are the same cars?

That's exactly what I am saying. And it's true. A Saleen's roots are in the base Mustang. An Evo's roots are in the Lancer. Saleen doesn't build cars, they put thier stuff in a Mustang, but the build quality is still determined by the base car. Evo's are just like SRT-4's, roots in thier respective companies cheap econoboxes.
