#440 of 522 with snow tires? by beanboy Feb 27, 2004 (3:18 pm)
Decent ground clearance for a performance car, so with snows on, you shouldn't have any problems getting anywhere within reason. Maybe a little more prone to understeer since the LSD will get both front wheels spinning in a corner if you give it too much gas, but in snowy conditions, a regular ol' Neon would probably be almost just as bad.   -B

#442 of 522 SRT-4 colors by majorthomecho Mar 10, 2004 (12:46 am)
Contrary to what has been posted here by others, yellow remains a color choice for the SRT-4. Black and blue are also color choices. Dodge had a black 2004 SRT-4 on display at my local auto show this past weekend. You could sit in it and this one had the more traditional (and comfortable) seats as opposed to the street racing seats the 2003 I test drove had.

Have side airbags in them. If you opt for the option, you get the R/T seats, not the Viper ones.   -B
#444 of 522 Request for suggestions on mods by majorthomecho Mar 21, 2004 (9:51 pm)
To those who have driven the SRT-4 and driven it hard, what is the first modification you would make? Would you have the suspension upgraded? Would it be the performance? Would you even bother having a short shifter installed?   As I have stated previously, the SRT-4 would be my daily driver. I want to add that the SRT-4 would see some track time and I have hopes of going to the Southwest to drive in a legal highway race. All modifications would be done by a Dodge dealer.   Any and all replies greatly appreciated.

As with anything else, how fast or how good you want to handle/race will depend on how much money you want to spend. Something like the Rage big turbo kit will increase the hp/torque to over 300, at a cost of around $2400. But to me, the car is plenty fast as is. It needs more handling things than outright speed things.   If it were me, based on your comments about it being a daily driver and still seeing some occasional track time, I'd concentrate first on handling. Get a front and rear strut tower bar, lowering springs (coilovers are too expensive), and larger diameter or bigger wheels. The brakes are fine as is for most street applications. Be warned however that the springs and strut tower bars will make the car VERY stiff for everyday street use. You'll feel every little ripple in the pavement with that setup. But I would imagine on a track it would handle as if on the proverbial rails.   I'd replace the stock filter with either a K&N drop-in or Uni foam drop-in, and route a cold air hose from the front up into the stock airbox.   http://njsr.org/pics/thumbnails.php?album=114   This link has pics of some of the mods I've done to my car.   Good luck...

#446 of 522 About the Dodge furnished mods by majorthomecho Mar 24, 2004 (11:59 pm)
I just noticed on the literature about the mods the salesman sent me is the notice that all the performance mods cannot be sold for cars licensed for highway use.   Oh, well.

Umm, yes they can. Except for the unreleased Stage III which does away with the cat.   -B
#448 of 522 Beanboy by majorthomecho Mar 25, 2004 (9:58 pm)
Than explain why the literature says they can't?
#449 of 522 "cannot be sold" by mrl859 Mar 25, 2004 (10:41 pm)
It doesn't say they "cannot be sold for cars licensed for highway use". It says they are "Not legal for sale or use on pollution controlled motor vehicles". It's just a way for them to cover their butts in reference to smog legality.
