You must be uber-133t. Great machines, but man those falcon are expensive though!!! I'm a geek... but I think I'm a car guy first! I would never drop 3K on a PC when I could spend it on the car...

It's not an Evo, but then, it's not trying to be one. It's cool and fast in its own right. Besides, Mitsu doesn't offer stage upgrade kits with a warranty like Mopar does. I'm screwed if something major breaks on my Evo.
It was #11 of 200 IIRC.

After going through 2 or 3 headlights at $200+ a crack I bet it got old. My friend traded for a mazda after his electronics completely failed in the car. Theres definately nothing that attracts me to them either.

Btw, can anyone tell the difference between the last couple years of production grand am, grand prix and bonnevilles. Talk about an utter lack of creativity by designs..lets make 3 cars all the same, call them different names and sell them at different prices.

Oh, I've got a much better example of creative design at GM:
Take a solid european platform (let's say, an Opel), take out anything that would make it drive well (handling or drivetrain related), botch the exterior and interior and sell it as a brand new car...

So 2K for blue stripes on a white car, uh?
And what is it supposed to commemorate? Were there Neon horse carriages in the early 19th century???-

Yeah, mysterious things they are those SRT-4s. If I was given the chance I'd like to test drive one. Too bad they are so hot here that none of the dealerships have it and you have to special order it.

Yeah...I said the same thing. The horse thing kills me, though. I couldn't see paying an extra 2G's for stripes and small accents, but he really liked it. Besides, in the few minutes of negotiating, we got the guy down to almost the same price as a regular SRT-4. I'll post pics of it in a second.

Here's a link with a picture. It looks sweet..of course it's sharing the screen with the bad-*** Viper SRT-10 and the Ram SRT-10. They only made 200 of the Commemorative Edition SRT-4, so they sticker it a little higher so they can honor their heritage. I really don't get it, but it looks cool. You'd think they would honor their heritage with, oh say, the Charger or something.
