they are good cars. i had one but i traded it for the jeep. is you end up finding another one pm me. i did a good bit of work on mine and know the car pretty well
LOL, I grew up in a ford family, my dad always owned a mustang of some sort(76 cobra II,85 LS) so maybe thats why I hate ford. But I am also from the Mt's of VA and where im from you like one brand and hate the rest.
yeah I grew up with fords too mostly truck and rebadged mazdas, but watching backyard rotaries in the island spanking the v8's made me into a fan...then I grew up and came back to american cars since torque is more fun lol, mopar had fast cars but handled like poo compared to gm one which also had good engines, at least that was my view until I drove the gcsrt, went to look at it and bought it the next day lol, and like you I do not like fords, something about the way they look...weak...well except for pre 70's trucks I like those
damned thread jackers...

Yeah I hear ya! I missed my first nsrt4 so much, when I sold the jeep, I decided to purchase a pretty modded 2004 nsrt4 that I am slowly building for drag racing.
I miss new cars, so I will probably get a new dodge dart soon or wait a bit and get into a 392 srt8!!
I tried driving a nsrt back in 04 and was told I couldn't test drive until I got approved cause it was in the same class as the srt10 viper...I started laughing and then realizer the dude was being serious...I said no thanks not doing paperwork for a test drive and ended up buying a civic...now that's a brand I'm never buying again...I took an exit off the highway a bit too hot and twisted the chassis...

That sucks man! Thats why it was called the mini viper when it first came out! I remember all of that stuff, one of the reason I bought mine brand new in 04 with 8 miles on it, It only has 46k on it now!
I thought it was crap I drove a wrx, rx8 and a couple other cars looking for what to get into in the 18-25k range but decided in the civic cause my wife wanted one since forever, big mistake should've gone with the rotary...wrx felt slow and heavy, it had too much lag imo, the rx would scream and felt like In was in a race car which it's th reason I didn't get it too expensive as a dd. I ended trading the civic for an 06 regular cobalt and that for a minivan (no idea how, I blame the wife for all the bad car chices I've made in my life, but she made up for 2 bad choices when she asked me to get the jeep instead of the tbss so it's ok), when I drove the cobalt I had to own it the power in that little motor and the handling, oh and the seats they are so thigh I've never felt so loved until I got in it lol. If I would gotten a test drive on an nsrt I would've bought it that day more than likely but the sales dude just turned me off if you ever compare a hoped up econo box to something in the supercar range have the decency to say why before puking out some crazy nonsense lol that dealer went under a couple months later...oh and about 2 years later when I was looking at the minivan I was asked if I wanted to drive the nsrt and had to decline since I was in a different stage in my life I called it the FML stage
