They are so durable that the one they had at the car show here already had the paint worn 1/2 off the Srt-4 emblem on the engine.

But on a better note and completely un-related the 300c Srt-8 is just mean looking.

I give them respect for what they are. An easily modded four door that properly driven is as fast a stock mustang gt. However a crappily driven stock f-body can out run a well driven mustang gt, its just a higher level of stock performance.

Everything goes out the window when you throw money at it though...

SRT4's are faster than a stock GT, friend has one. But he knows his place and still bows to me and 89ws6formula50's Grand Nat.
