Thats cool, one time I saw a really cheesy job where they had just  spray painted the tail lights, they did a really bad job of it too.

make sure you get it tuned by a pro usually costs around 500 but its worth it makes your platform waaaay more stable plus when you get into internal parts they're potential can not be reached with out a good tune.

I've heard that from alot of SRT-4 owners, it seems that every decent vehicle Chrysler pops out, they make it just enough to be fun, but leave ALOT desired under the hood. That's why I'm strait Ford 8)

Give me a stock SRT-4 vs. a stock Cobra, and I'll beat you both on a 1/4 mile and on road. What I desire most though is a good ol' Ford Lightning. The Germans are using this things to beat Porches:

depends on what year cobra you're talkin about but i'm assuming you're talking about the 99-04 models and of course 500hp will beat 230. but the 94-98 models still won't take the cake. Don't get me wrong i don't hate on any cars i love them all i'd drive a mustang any day of the week then turn around and hop in a chevy next week. they've all got thier ups and downs i truely have no favorite. i just this car was pretty sweet so i snagged it lol

That's a pretty sweet truck.  My civic was parked near the airport (one of those airport parking places ) when I was in Italy in September.  With all the rain and flooding that happened in Atlanta, my car was flooded and totaled.  It was a good car.  Had to buy a new one, but nothing cool, just something to get the family around.  Bought a 2009 Honda Accord.  It's a lot bigger inside than the civic.

I think Ford went retarded between 88-99. The bodies started to suck, then the engines followed. I love how they went throwback though, and Ford is starting to use the same engineers for their car engines as they do with their trucks, which, except for V8 Powerstroke vs. V6 Cumin's, have dominated for the past two decades. Have you taken a look at the new Taurus SHO? Beast and a half man 8)

After the above accident, I borrowed my mother's '08 Civic to get to work. Honda's got some nice small engines, that stock 1.8L could make that car go :D
