i seen that to hahaha

Good thing they didn't misquote the Veyron.

It's only 1.3M, and it's not a set production. They're still making more.

Plus, it's MX, so it's going to get off the line much quicker, has forged internals and 4 (yes 4) turbochargers, and the torque LINE, not curve, LINE is better overall. 922lb-ft from 2200rpm all the way to 5500rpm...straight. It's a peak and hold.

Also has a 2.9s 0-60, AND has a 7spd sequential due to having too much acceleration.

They have not found a way to reach the top speed, as it is NOT limited. They estimate 252, but they haven't really been able to test it out, and really, would you want to risk crashing a 1.3m car? I wouldn't. Not one that's this gorgeous.

The Veyron is a car that's way out of the league of most if not all of the cars they named. It's got massive straight line acceleration and massive cornering abilities. It would spank the 1000TT, NQA, and looks better doing it.

*edit*
BTW, I noticed this is the same as the other 3 kits they made with the roadster of varying horsepower...one of which produced the same results as this...go figure.

And the roadster is somehow a lighter weight than the coupe, which I think is backwards to the norm.

**edit 2**
Porsche Carrera GT is 612hp, limited to 217, and is 440k

Mercedes SLR McLaren is 400k

Ferrari Enzo is 650hp, limited to 217mph and is 643k

Good thing a performance company gets their facts straight.

It says T56 trans, which is a Tremec unit. Better have the mother of all clutches, too, like a triple-plate racing one

I'll take a Carrera GT over this thing. That car is uber-sexy.

Naw I meant more of RWD/AWD?

RWD.

You get a choice of a 5spd manual or a 2spd Glide.

Personally, I doubt it will have any traction. Dyno queen.

I'd definitely take that money to buy it and use it as a down payment on a Veyron.

*edit*
Did I also mention the Veyron gets sick gas mileage of like 23mpg city?

And so you know, the Hennessy kit that they did on the lighter v10 only got 9 city, 18 highway. And Vipers have small tanks, if I remember correctly.

I heard rumors at the Philly car show this year Dodge was toying around with making a AWD SRT-4 in the next few years. Maybe they should focus more of their performance efforts to cars like that - that we can actually afford It's beautiful, but I'll never drive one.

[SilverTurboRidin]

SRT4 did NOT get the axe....Just the neon bodystyle did. They are coming out with something new..

And you can keep your 1.3m car...it aint worth it hehe

For something that's got that much power, and can do more than accelerate in a straight line (ie: actually handle on tight consecutive turns and still manage to look great, while being awesome on gas mileage for having 16 cylinders and 64 valves) it's definitely worth it.

And it's about time they got rid of that neon bodystyle. *shiver*

*edit*

Not for the same price as the neon body style, it won't.

[yugotdonkey]

I think the replacement for the srt4 is going to be using that global engine that hyundai mitsu and dcx came up with. 4 cyl non turbo last i read. Who knows though, its all speculation til its unveiled at a car show.

Basically that's what the Mopar guys were saying at the Philly show this year. Dodge was axing the Neon, the SRT-4 would stand alone (w/out the Neon name) and that it would go to a AWD setup similar to that of the Evo. I'm just repeating what I heard, I haven't seen anything in any mags yet. It definitaley won't be the affordable price the SRT is now, whatever it ends up being.
