It felt weak and made way too much freakin noise for how slow it was, and it doesn't help at all that it's mated to a poohey 4 speed auto... Also it seems Nitros with that engine are riddled with problems? Definately drive one for yourself though, but afterwards drive a R/T model. WORLD of difference. The 4.0L sounds great, pulls hard, awesome 5 speed autostik and not a single problem to date... Another thing: I never got this much praise, thumbs up, stares and so on, in ANY car I've owned compared to the R/T Nitro. Seriously, it's awesome! < Message edited by Chryco4Life -- 3/9/2008 7:32:57 PM > _____________________________ http://www.cardomain.com/id/chryco4life 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T (in reply to rebelz99) Post #: 2
