2001 Dodge Intrepid RT review from North America
"Mid-Life Crisis Super Mobile :-)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been flawless. I have replaced the intake to increase airflow to the engine. I had the engine blueprinted and had the exhaust replaced. The result is 278 HP. If I shut off the traction control, put it in 1st gear with the slap-stick and hammer it, I can stay in one place for 30 seconds with the front tires spinning. Only problem I could find was a touch of bubbling of the paint on the hood and a little chipping (peeling) of the front bumper paint which was covered by the manufacturer.
General comments?
The car set up the way it is right now, I would have to consider it an "IMPORT KILLER."
