I can't remember how many Mustang GT's I walked with my SRT4, it was like driving a go kart, that little thing was light and fast and handled fantastic plus was easy to modify. I don't buy cars because I hope other people find them attractive, I buy cars that I like that are fast and affordable. I've owned them all, GT's, SRT4's, LS1's, Cobalt SS, GXP, Charger, etc.... To this day the SRT4 is still the most fun I had driving a car, it was raw and if you hit a pothole you would probably need to go to the chiropractor the next day but other than vicious wheel hop it was a great car with no mechanical issues whatsoever. In fact all 3 of my Dodge vehicles have never been in the shop for a single issue, my LS1 was in for rear pinion seals constantly and my turbo Cobalt was a POS, it was in for service probably 7 times for power steering going out, ignition broke locking the keys in the column, rear brakes had grooves, the clutch feel was never the same 2 times in a row. It was a fun little car but was always broke.

I didn't say what badge it needed to have on it. It isn't a poser statement, it is my opinion. I wouldn't buy a car that I didn't enjoy looking at. If I just wanted to go fast and kill myself, I would have a motorcycle. There is a difference between driving a car and wanting to drive a car. I want to drive my car, I don't want to drive my buddies turboed Honda Civic. That's just how I am.
