As we get closer and closer to the release of the Caliber Vehicles, the release of the Sports Model SRT-4 also gets closer.

I definatly think they should throw a few out there with the stage3r on there as like a dealership option, but I don't think they should charge anymore than say 24k for it.

300 would be sweet! But i doubt for the price range and a stock 4-cylinder that we are going to get that, but to overcome the brick aerodynamics and weight, they may need 300 or more...that would be so sweet...

 

[srt4ownz]

i think it should have around 350 hahaha that would be awsome but for us stock srt-4 guys that would be.....scary....lol

300 hp is doable with 2.4 liters, but it's gonna require variable valve timing for sure and possibly direct injection. That'll bust that $23K limit right now. Also, anything with that kind of hp must have AWD. All the parts are there in the Daimler/Chrysler/Mitsubishi bin. The problem exists with Mitsu. Do they want a vehicle that will be a direct competitor of their EVO? I think that D/C could convince them that continued cooperation in shared engineering would be of benefit to both of them. The Calibre will attract a different audience than the EVO, a less "hard-core" group, who will be attracted to the car by its five door utility, rather than the balls-out, bulging fender macho projected by the EVO. I think they'd go for it, myself. If they did, a 300 hp SRT-4 Calibre would do a lot for cooking version Calibre sales. I'm convinced of that.

The rally version seems badass too me. Kinda like the evo wagon that has been released as a new model.

I said 280, basing it off FWD. If it were AWD, 300 or more.

 

[silversrt]

It is AWD. http://www.dodge.com/caliber/index.html

As for the power i wanna be realistic so anywhere between 250 - 300.

I expect it to have 260+ but with a price tag of low 24k- to mid 26k for it to be competitve with the WRX/MSP3/Audi a3 and any other car company thats going to jump on the 5door sport hatch bandwagon

same thoughts i just think it will be 280+

 

[suzq044]

word is it'll have over 300 .. so.. draw your own conclusions..

 

[JMac]

anyone in dcx w/ some numbers?

 

[utimike]

IMO that would be great it it did.

 

[suzq044]

well i've pulled that info from allpar; which has a few insiders..

 

[evo77]

Make it an even 300 and that should put it way above all its class competitors.

 

[edogg23]

I am expecting aboug 270ish at about 23k.

 

[gliv]

Make it an even 300.

I'm more worried about the 'upgradeability' rather then the stock factory horsepower.

If the car is 'near its limits' already, that would be a serious bummer. If it has the upgrade potential like the existing SRT-4, then it could come with 180hp stock and it'd still be a good bargain.

 

[bruins013]

i just want it to be AWD, and easy to upgrade is the big thing and be able to take the upgrades...
