We just had ZPI claim that with the Blitz S/C kit you could beat a stage 2 AND a WS6 Trans Am on only 180Whp. Needless to say, without any proof but someone's word I called B.S.. I'm waiting for a daytime video of this alleged dual kill.

You will save $$$$ on insurance, payment & definately gas. This weekend I was putting around with a firend, who also owns an SRT (he has all my aftermarket parts now) and I topped off my tank after travelling something near 80 miles. It cost me $4!!!! Read it... $4!!!!! That was something like 40 mpg! I used like a gallon and a half of fuel with a mix of freeway and city travel. No aggressive acceleration (like you really can in this car) and no hard stops. Just a nice smooth afternoon.

You're buying into a reliable econo box. Remeber that.

holler if you'd like to talk about the good ol days with the SRT.
thanks man, i definitley noticed the drop in power but will get use to it soon. besides that it's a well-put-together car, toyota knows how to do that!

and for "Punch" sorry to hear that you liked the PT so much and got rid of it, my SRT had been nothing but problems since the day i got it. i'm a BMW technician and it really bothered me the way Dodge treated SRT owners thinking we were all "riced-out civic wannabees". No respect and no kind of support.

I'm happy i got the Yaris. I like the body lines and the Toyota quality.
