Um....
I'm assuming you popped the hood and looked for the turbo at least?
Otherwise, where in NJ and where's the car.

If that doesn't help you, call your local Dodge dealer with the VIN, they should be able to help you. You can also go here and enter it in:

I would hope after test driving it, you would know if it's a real SRT-4 or not. Look for a boost gauge, 160MPH speedometer, rear brake calipers, and an intercooler. Those should be giveaways to whether or not it's real.

Maybe he's talking about a car with a motor swap. Rev the car to 3000 rpm and drop the clutch in 1st gear. If you get any traction at all it's not an SRT.
