Opinion On These Dealer Options.

[Kracka]

I think it's pretty cool that Dodge is offering factory upgrades...they even tell you don't lift to shift! They must feel they built the car pretty well if they are condoning all of this added abuse. How do these cars handle in the twisties?

That price doesn't seem too bad. For a dsm, injecotrs $350, Safc $300 (new), if we needed one WGA $100, 2g MAS setup $100. That brings a dsm to about $850. But you still get your warranty as it is a factory upgrage = PRICELESS
I don't think that you can "keep" your warranty if you have the upgrades. I may be wrong though.

Doesn't say anything about voiding the car's warranty, but the upgraded parts come with ZERO warranty...defective parts aren't even covered!!!

[ACRucrazy]

This is true, Mopar PERFROMANCE Parts dont have a warranty, but like anything they can not void the warranty of the car itself, unless then its determined that ANY of those aftermarket parts, mopar or not caused the faliure.. So if your tranny goes out, your CAI cant void your warr, but if you suck up water and Hydrolock it, then BYE BYE (by the way my buddies 98 avenger did this last fall, took his iceman out and his INSURANCE paid for a new engine, lmao)

Anyways.. did you guys see STAGE 3? Me and Shane were talking about this, it comes with a 15GK2 turbo (same one as in a EVO VI) and a bigger exhaust mani...

They are alringht, especially now that the 04s have a Quaife in them. Mopar offers fully adjustable coilovers for them too by K&W.

Im thinking of selling my Image Performance coilovers and getting the Level 3 Mopars with camber plates, but who knows. The SCC that came out this week did the Mopars to theyre project SRT. pretty neat stuff.

Heres a quick vid i just found from the mopar nats this past weekend.. SRT passing a viper on a road course.

My boss rode in both the SRT4 and the Viper down at Daytona. He said on the tighter course down there, the SRT4 was quicker than the Viper.

At the Chicago auto show they Dodge had all the Stage kits on display some of the stuff looked cheap as in poorly made. Don much have a point besides it all looked like it would break in a month.

Hehe, we they probably were.
All those were fake.
Funny thing is that a Stage 3 fuel rail and injectors were stolen from the Chicago show. Then they showed up on ebay, and the thief didnt even know that they display ones were stock injectors.
Point of those are to show what they are and distibute info.
By the way, how was it?

[2003eclipse]

it was awesome, and i saw imediatly that 3 of 4 injectors was gone off of the wall display he must have gone back and got the last one.
It was awesome dodge had there srt-4 that they had built it was orange with carbon fiber hood the slicks on the thing where just chewed up to beat hell look good as hell.
