My Father-in-law participated in the SRT driving school. Place had all the SRT vehicles to drive and do the challenges. Guess which vehicle was the worst out of all the SRT lineup.....Charger. The Charger SRT8 was outdone by the Caliber SRT8, what's that say about the Charger R/T. (#1 performer all around was the Jeep SRT8)
I didn't know they made a Caliber SRT8? My dad also has a 300c, nice ride.

I just priced one on www.dodge.com $24,840 then they have the $3,500 Cash Allowance.

I'm sure you can take any vehicle and ADD EVERY option to increase the price. Still not a $30000 car. I like the Caliber, it's a shame they didn't make it AWD. The car did horrible and did just as bad as sales as the Crossfire as far as the SRT line-up.

Pointing out a typo doesn't change the fact of the performance outcome.

Caliber SRT4 > Charger R/T

see you went to dodge.com not a DEALERSHIP. There is a mark-up on the car at a dealership. That price is from factory. Not dealership cost.

Where they put the shifter seems odd but if you drove one, you would love where its at. I was the same way but after driving one, i totally changed my mind.

They can't sell these cars as-is. There is no mark-up.

Fo shizzle. Although performance isn't what it is all about. Like I said before, I like the Caliber. I am not a big fan of manual cars, hence why I wouldn't get one. That and I hear there is A LOT of road noise.

you don't get it. There are dealer fees etc... But i'm not wasting my time debating with you about a price.
And for some of us, it is about performance. and there isn't much road noise.
