Made to sound like the barrel of a gun, the new 2009 Dodge Caliber SRT4 is helping redefine the compact sports car. Light and fast the Caliber SRT is also economic at a starting price of just $15,863.
With movies like “The Fast And Furious” automakers are realizing that the days of raw muscle power are over. The light, fast, compact cars are the future of sports cars. And why not, they go fast too. The new 2009 Dodge Caliber SRT4 can go from 0-60mph is less than 8 seconds and can reach top speeds of 150mph. This is helped by the Calibers very light 2.4L Turbo I4 285hp engine. The revolutionary designed GETRAG six speed transmission also helps by maximizing most of its energy output.
Another reason people are turning to light cars with sporty feels is the fuel economy. More gas doesn’t equate to more speed these days. The Caliber SRT4 will get you an impressive 27mpg on the highway. If speed isn’t as important to you as saving the environment than check out the ENVI Dodge Caliber that comes with a fully electric powered motor.
