I mean if you bought the 22k v6, thats about 18 grand left over compared to an SRT to spend on mods...and I would bet you could have just as good, if not better end product than just a stock srt. I mean if you buy a stock srt and end up buying all the same upgrades, seems like all you are doing is replacing more expensive SRT parts instead of cheaper V6 ones. Granted you would have to do most of the handy work yourself to make it work. Can anyone else back this up, or is still better to start from an SRT platform?
If you did all of the work yourself this would be the cheapest way to go. The labor costs would add up if you had someone do the work though. So it depends. Thats actually not a bad idea, it would be a killer sleeper. Thats for certain. |
