uh oh, I sense a cult following for SRT's developing on ceg???
I saw a silver one this morning, the looks suck, but the engineering is a marvel. . .and for what you get on the '04s including an LSD, jesus, it's worth the money if you want an econo car than play with the big boys. . .

I drove one, and you can buy a seat package that fits the more robust buyer better if you get the side air bags. Then you lose the support.
I was horribly disappointed in the interior of the car when I drove it. I pushed up on the roof liner and it folded. I have felt stiffer greeting cards. Then the cheap looking plastics got me down.
But MAN, does she have it where it counts.....

Yeah my friend's has side airbag, so thus no viper seats, but they're still pretty nice and comfortable. Interior is pretty good, I'd say the materials are atleast as good as a contour's but lacking some things we have (like lighted and covered vanity mirrors) though it does have 4 cup holders (that can actually hold cups). My friend got a nail in the sidewall of a tire today (sorta my fault since he was driving me around while my car was at the shop) and now he has to buy a $150 tire. .......

Ahem, hem....ROOF liner! And I do. For my $27K (Cdn) plus 15 per cent tax (GST and PST) on top of that, I should be assured that my interior is devoid of paper maché.

Maybe it will be $200, he hasn't gotten the new tire yet, I'm just hoping it'll be less than $200. I haven't driven it yet, I'm getting ancy.

If he has an 04 they are $140 per tire which is more stomach-able, needless to say I will not be replacing the pilot sports when my wear out!
lol Phil.... I hear ya, picture a contour interior, but you lose a bit of the ridgidity and throw that interior loss into engine bay gain!

Ok good. Hopefully there's some warranty from BFGoodrich on the tires as he just got 1000 miles on the car, but I'm guessing there won't be a warranty for road hazards...
Yeah the interior isn't anything great, but it looks pretty good, and the seats are good, and..... the engine is real good.
