Picked this thing up in January, not the prettiest but the important parts feel strong. I am new to the platform, new to American cars in general. Always leaned towards German or Japanese, but I’m loving it. About 201,000 kilometers on the clock.

Looks great! Welcome!

Thanks! Looking forward to fixing her up and explore some upgrades and mods. Currently it’s all stock!

I’ve been going back to that thread a lot since I picked the car up 4 months ago. Excellent resource.

I love the on ramps, but long distances in 5th gear at 120mph gets a bit loud and droney. Thinking about taking it to the Nurburgring once I have all the preventative maintenance out of the way though.

The turning radius is comically bad lol.

I wear ear plugs when the droning gets annoying. Post up a video when you take the car to the Ring.

It's a little easier to deal with at 155 mph... because you get to your destination 15% faster

I still haven’t maxed it out haha. I think 210kph is my max. Maybe once I have proper tires on it instead of these old all seasons.

Welcome man! That's not terribly high mileage anyways.

Dude, please take it on The Ring. That would super cool.

damn never knew there were neons in germany, pretty cool to know and yes i would also love to see a video whenever you take it to nurburgring

After posting a similar question one of the SRT4 Facebook pages, it seems there are at least a few in Germany. They were never sold here though, so any that did make it over would have had to have been imported from the US or Canada. Mine is Canadian and the dash is even fully in KMs. Which works out in Europe haha.

move been looking for a good reason to bust out the GoPro, so I’ll definitely make a video when I take it to the ‘ring.

The camera placement on that video is atrocious.

I remember BombSquad got stationed in Germany, and was supposed to take his car to the 'Ring. Haven't seen anything from him in years.

We have a small lightly windy road that runs by the platte river near here. I'm going to make a decent 5 minute or so video at some point, with a bunch of camera views, even setting my phone in the middle of the road and roaring over the top of it lol.

Looking forward to seeing that. I’d like to see more driving focused videos of the SRT-4. So much of what I’ve seen on YouTube is just drag racing or backfiring compilations haha.
