we need calist or dodgeinfocenter to figure this out
I thought I read somewhere about that, but wasn't sure if it actually was being applied, so I guess it is. Thanks for the clarification, and yeah, 0-60 will really tell!Vision67 said:New SAE spec test conditions result in lower numbers for most cars. More important is rate of acceleration, e,g, time to 60 mph.![]()
I am sure the car mags will soon be testing Caliber and comparing it to its nearest competitors. That's the key spec.![]()
It could be any number of issues but I believe to know the reason behind this.Xtreme Thunder said:Original specs that was released by various news articles showed the following HP/TQ numbers:
1.8L 148 HP/ 125 Ft.Lbs.Tq.
2.0L 158 HP/ 141 Ft.Lbs.Tq.
2.4L 172 HP/ 165 Ft.Lbs.Tq.
Now according to the Dodge website the following:
1.8L 143 HP/ 124 Ft.Lbs.Tq. @ 6400RPM
2.0L 150 HP/ 135 Ft.Lbs.Tq. @ 6400RPM
2.4L 173 HP/ 164 Ft.Lbs.Tq. @ 6000RPM ---Actually increse in HP
Maybe HP at the Wheels not Crank?
Different RPM?
Can anyone explain??
We don't have a timeline on when it will be updated because another department handles anything website related. Occasionally we will notice inaccuracies and send off a notice to Quality Assurance who in turn sends it to the website guys/gals.Xtreme Thunder said:Thanks Dan,
When are they going to update their site? It seems as though they take forever because the Neon and Neon Srt-4 are still listed and they don't even make them any more.

Unfortunately our website is not updated as much as we would like and occasionally there are two sets of conflicting numbers for the Caliber. I believe the original (bottom) figures that were posted online may have been the estimated SAE testing figures where the top are the SAE test results.
As far as we know, our information is the most current. I posted the below specs on another thread and they seem to coincide with the above figures.
1.8L FWD w/ Man5 (148hp @ 6,500 / 125lb-ft @ 5,200) 28 city / 35 h/w
2.0L FWD w/ CVT2 (158hp @ 6,400 / 141lb-ft @ 5,000) 28 city / 34 h/w
2.4L AWD w/ CVT2 (172hp @ 6,000 / 165lb-ft @ 4,400) 25 city / 31 h/w
Hope that helps resolve things,
Dan
Yeah I would like to know that too because the R/T would be something I would consider if it got the 25/31, that is the same as my Neon pretty much. More HP without sacraficing MPG is a good thing. I will also have to see what people post about their actual mileage on the forums.lebowski1 said:according to this the RT has over 30MPG highway. That seems more in line with the CVT and modern engines. I've been reading (from non offical sources) 23 city 26 highway. It seemed a little low.
tell me this isnt a typo Dodge guy.

sentra se-r specV seems to have the best deal.. 175hp/180tq for 18,300, with cobalt being a lil more $ for the extra 25/20.. and supercharger.. and caliber coming in the middle of the price-range w/ the least hp/tq .. [of the 3]
I don't expect the Caliber R/T to get similar figures as the 06 Neon (29/35) and here is why.lebowski1 said:according to this the RT has over 30MPG highway.

Maybe the "best deal" as far as HP/ft#torque.. but don't forget the Caliber comes with AWD for that price.......suzq044 said:Here's the list according to lowest price [based on last known high-end MSRP]
