whats the best year SRT-4 2 get?

i know i know, you have heard this question a thousand times, i am truly sorry, but im looking into getting one, and all i know is cavaliers...

what year will give me the best bang for my buck (and i read the other threads and was wondering what LSD is (related to cars not drugs lol)

i wanna spend 15k on a car, and my uncle will help me because he buys and sells cars from auctions. he can get me a bunch of different cars but im really leaning toward the SRT4. any info, specs, opinions are welcome. thanx in advance.

Re: whats the best year SRT-4 2 get?

Yeah, definitely time to step it up a notch...You should get a 2004 if you want reliable and cheaper...Some of the 05's are going for a pretty penny and a good percentage are having tranny problems. And like you stated, the 04's-05's come with the lsd, which will help out some with traction(some being the operative word). Let me know if you have any other questions...

Re: whats the best year SRT-4 2 get?

it's not...take an srt with one and an srt without one(both mildly modded) and you would be lucky if you saw any time differences between the two.

but you would on a road coarse when your spinning your inside tire like there is no tomorrow... imo def get an 04 because the lsd does make a difference, and the e-blue is almost as sexy as the orange blast...

Hmm, don't remember that one

Well, I got an srt because...well...Because you had cool movies on your computer with a surround system so it basically just sold me the car right there...so I thank your computer and nice speakers...Thank you speakers

Re: whats the best year SRT-4 2 get?

Best year to get is 04 because of the more lienent pcm and the smaller chance of tranny issues. End of story.
