Back in '05 nobody knew what a Stage 1 badge meant. Even people in my PT club had no idea, especially with no GT or turbo badges. Even embarassed V8 drivers had no idea. I know you took the badge off cause you said you were being hassled by ricers wanting to race, but they want to race anything with wheels. So Jo, when you getting your GT back on the road?
Chrysler didn't have the balls to do it because 95% of PT turbos had the weak 41TE auto tranny and the tranny would never have held up to SRT power levels. Matt's GT is tastefully done and I like it, but if you want to call it a SRT-4 concept then it reminds me of the SRT-4 Design option they had for the Neon. Dual pipes, big wing and a hood scoop (fake in this case). Fooled lots of people, but it was a fake. The SRT division had nothing to do with it. Still, it's up to the owner what badge(s) is on their car. If they pull up to the real deal, though, and the SRT-4 wants to race they better politely refuse.
