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
AGP fuel pressure regulator
Blow off valve that sounds amazing (Can't remember the brand)

Carbon Fiber Hood and Trunk
6k HID headlights AND fog lights
Roll bars welded in
Turbo Timer
Upgraded Fuel Injectors
Short thow shifter

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.

Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

Mopar is heading to the SEMA show in Las Vegas with a fleet of customized vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts of all stripes. There's a Dodge Viper ACR concept that follows in the lineage of the supercar's great road racing past, and a custom Ram ProMaster that might just be the ultimate outdoor party machine.
We got an inside look at Mopar's cars that will be on display at the show, which also include a Dodge Challenger T/A concept, two crazy Jeeps and a Ram 2500 Outdoorsman that could change the way you camp. While these are some of our favorites, Mopar is bringing plenty to SEMA, so let us know your top choices in the comments section.

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
