750HP, 700LB/FT, $550,000. I can't wait to see the magazine tests for this thing.

thinking about it thats pretty well priced for a supercar. then again the enzo was like 600,000 when it came out at ferrari dealers.

kapnkrunch2 · 01-29-2005, 12:41 PM

On that same page it talks about a Saleen focus. It says (150hp, 150tq) I didn't know you had to MOD it to get that much. I thought thats how it came stock? This is almost as bad as the SVT fucking Grand Marquis

If you go to the Saleen site, they talk about the focus. They considered both turbo and supercharging it, but in the end decided to go a rather different route:
a nitrous-ready (and reliable) car. Basically it's all set up, you just supply the N20.

So it's not particularly fast by itself. I'd imagine it screams when you add a nice big tank to it.

Hahaha, on that Saleen Site they compare it to the SRT-4. The only thing it beat the SRT-4 in was resale value. I found that funny since I just argued about resale value vs performance over there at ClubRSX.com.

i read that when you hook up the N20 on the focus you void the warrenty.

Perfect car for the rich-boy ricer crowd- no assembly required!!!

Sorta like an EVO when you drive it off the lot.

cmdr_kill · 01-31-2005, 10:22 PM

haha, looks as bad as the NEW srt-4.. yes new

I went to the dodge dealership today because i noticed a funny looking neon in the lot. And they NEVER have srt-4s around here, they just don't sell. So I pull in and walk over to it, and I'm thinking to myself, this cant be an srt-4, where is the huge mouth and 17's, WTF is this thing? The new SXT? Nope, on the back it said srt-4 and i could see the FMIC around front. It was def the srt-4, but they seemed to have toned it down a bit, plus it has super lame chrome 16's on it.

What do you think about this srt-4 boy? I'm sure you're just dying to comment, and if you can turn this around into a good thing- I'd add a rep point. Haha (smaller wheels, chrome, smaller mouth, overall gayness)

What's the point of that vehicle? does it have the R/T motor? It's like the pussy version of the SRT! and it costs the same?

98tibbyfx · 02-01-2005, 09:07 PM

Its a 2nd gen SRT-4.

I looked at getting one but herd that insurance was outlandish mind tellin me how much you pay? per month. i have a 98 tiburon and its around $200. I have a clean driving record so that price shouldn't be to crazy but then agian a 04' will cost more then a 98'
