New Car!
 
I just traded in my Avenger yesterday. Picked up myself an 01 Dodge Stratus R/T Coupe. Black, grey/black leather interior, 3.0 6g72 with the auto stick option, 94,000 miles, 4 disc cd changer, basically every option. I've been driving it since monday, and I absolutely love it. It is everything my avenger has/is, but about 2x better. More power, much better chassis, better interior, etc.

I'll get some pictures up after work today. I still gotta wash it and detail the interior.

not really aftermarket sucks for this platform, I had mine custom made by map..borla does make a exhaust but it is $$$ and hard to find I believe megan does too. headers I would try a search on club 3 g or 2gstratus.com. not sure if they make them anymore.

Why spend money on a stratus?!? Save up and buy a 1g or something for a fun car.

Bad pictures, I know. Just got done cleaning up the engine bay a bit. It had looked like someone spilled oil everywhere and left it. Wire-wheeled the intake manifold too.

Yeah, I have an Injen SRI. Its SCREAMS when I'm on it, louder than my exhaust. You can ask people here who have been in my car. :)

For parts, check out Club3G.com (3G Eclipse site) or 2GStratus.org. 95% of parts are interchangable between your Stratus, my Galant, and 3G Eclipses.
