and 1/10th the build quality, might i remind you that those 300 ponies are going to THE FRONT WHEELS, quite stupid IMO, the SRT-4 already has wheelspin problems approacing those numbers

They are going to need all those 300 ponies to overcome the 0.40 drag coefficient...  Stupid...

This little bugger is EXPENSIVE. The highest line I could build, the R/T would sticker at $23,000 once you add all the necessities.
Navigation and HID lights are not even optional, and you're stuck with a CVT with any engine other than the base 1.8 litre (except the SRT-4).

The R/T is only availible w/ AWD and CVT for now. Subtract $3k for the same vehicle w/ FWD and manual come Fall. Ever price out a Vibe GT or Matrix XRS? Even Maz3 w/ Similar equipment (S Grand Touring + CD/Moon) is $21k. It has HID, Caliber R/T has some other stuff. $20k is quite reasonable. But, this tread is about the SRT-4.
260ft-lb 2000-6000rpm sounds nice. High 0-60 time for its power/weight raito, but I'm sure traction even with LSD will be limited for its 225mm wide tires.. I suspect a long 0-30 time, but 30+ should be on par w/ Evo/STi.

All I was meaning is I think the price will end up higher than some are speculating here, unless the SRT-4 is really stripped out.
