Default RE: Who has a 2008 Challenger on order?

Picked up my car last night. WOW!! All of the amenities are definately cool!!

My wife was just okay with my decision to buy this car. But now that we have it, I think shes smiling more than I am. She loves the car.

Already put on the CAI. Its a snap, anyone handy with a wrench and screwdriver can do it in less than 20 minutes. Also added the floormats and door sills. Both are a must!!

Had the exhaust modified this morning. I removed the muffler, replaced with pipe and left the resonators in place. What a difference!! So far I love it. I will be going on a road trip tomorrow and will have a better opinion on highway drone. I am also going to compare side by side with flowmasters, I will let you know my opinion.

The power, handling and feel need to be experienced! The seats are very comfortable. My father in law sat in the back behind my wife. She had the seat a little forward and he said it was comfortable back there. Just a little hard to get in and out of the back seat.

The navigation and U-connect is fantastic! Love the features. I am planning on getting a Lock-Pick so I can do more while in motion.

Now for the bad.

The stereo does leave a lot to be desired. I thought with the amplifiers, bass in the trunk and 13 speakers it would knock my socks off. I had to set the bass on full, just a little midrange and turn the treble completely off to get a sound I like. Dont get me wrong, its not bad, just not as good as I expected.

The passenger seat needs to get power adjustments. As I saw posted somewhere else, I too cannot find how to access the back seat from the drivers side. This is a major design flaw.

The brake dust is as expected. I hope it will reduce somewhat after a few hundred miles.

THANKS TO EVERONE ON THIS SITE!!
