2 door Stratus, that's the reason for the Mitsubishi engine? I always thought a homemade SRT6 Stratus would be cool. Pics!

I know I know. It's rather......... unclean and not detailed. I didn't paint it up or make it look good.........yet. I'm waiting till it's officially mine and (as per the wife

) 1 project at a time, finish the T-Bird then color-change her Camary, then I can toy with the R/T.

SR/T6 maybe??
