I used to have an SRT-4 and feel that the SRT team makes an excellent product.
Would you mind giving me your thoughts between the two? I'm 6'0 / 180lb and I'm kinda worried the car will be too small for me. I commute to work about 20 miles each way.
Let me know if any of you have any experience with the two vehicles.
I too came out of an SRT-4 into the SRT-6. I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs, and fit just fine. I average about 21-22 MPG with an intake, ECU Tune, and Exhaust. The SRT-6 is FASTER than a Goat, and it actually handles. I've run up against modded GTOs that couldn't beat me. It's really a high 12 second car out of the box with the right driver and conditions. I've recorded a 3.96 0-60 in mine with just a couple of bolt ons. You won't be disappointed. I use mine as a daily driver at the moment. No complaints.
