I cried a little inside when Dodge stopped making the real SRT4 and brought out the monstrosity. That little car was a beast.

I personally get a little nervous when other people have done the modifications on a car because you're never quite sure what they did with it. Sounds like you're going to check it thoroughly though.

I have to admit, at this point I'm still fairly set on the Camaro but it's getting harder and harder financially to justify it. I watched a huge chunk of my IRA's and such go poof over the last month and man-it hurts. I can afford the payment but now I'm wondering if I'd be better off putting that payment in a shoe box and burying it in the garden (not really- I'm not that nuts yet).

Just for reference though, Car and Driver:
"The Neon SRT-4 rips to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, to 100 in 13.8, covers a quarter-mile in 14.2 seconds at 102 mph, and keeps on huffin' all the way to 153 mph."

"0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and the quarter-mile in 14.2 at 102 mph" <-Cobalt SS.

102 mph 1/4's for both and within .1 sec 0-60 so that's basically up to the driver. Basically the SS just picked up the baton that the SRT4 dropped on the ground. Awesome little car though.
