I know there are a few SRT-4 guys here, so after turning up nothing on a Google search, I'm gonna ask here. I test drove a SRT-4 and my impressions were that it ran and drove great, I LOVED the manual trans, it was the easiest driving manual trans I've ever used. The power was OK, it seemed to get about 12 PSI boost, I thought they got more than that?? At least it controlled it solidly. I also loved the interior, 3 cupholders, and the seats!

Now on with the question: In 1st gear at parking lot speeds, it felt very touchy and seemed to surge, like you couldn't give it little enough gas in 1st to move forward 5mph without either riding the clutch constantly, or jerking forward. Was this (used) SRT-4 just a bad example? Or are they all like that? Every other gear was perfect. Thanks guys.

PS: I'm not looking to buy one but a friend might be.
