Thanks everyone, I'm not going anywhere. If you let a mustang owner post here I'm sure I'll be alright.

I was very discouraged when the early news came out on the Caliber SRT-4 last year. It looked like SRT development dropped the ball. Now that the first cars are on the road it's evident they were laying low on the competition. With a simple exhaust and hi-flow cat the car is already putting down over 300whp and 277tq. Stock it's getting about 280+whp. The clutch, axles, brakes were over engineered to handle the future HP gains simple tunes and stage kits will bring.
My favorite thing is SRT Development has regular chat sessions where they let owners voice their concerns, ideas, and questions.
After reviewing the last session I discovered that stage kits are on the way. The 1st will be a simple ECU reflash because the current boost levels are held back in 1st and 2nd gear to make the car easier to drive. At the same boost levels that come in 3rd and 4th gears the car would be well over 300whp closer to 320.

Anyway, I'm excited and if any of you would lke to keep Mitsi in the family let me know, she's been very well kept.

This is what I have on order.
