Default A couple questions

1, whats the best way to break in our new challengers , hammering it as we leave the lot cant be good for an engine with 3 miles on it?
2, What happens to all the cars they crash test can we get parts from them?
3, Who would have the best insurance offering?
4, Has anyone done the srt exsperiance thing?
I,m still in "C"

Well, I can't answer your questions specifically, but I've already promised the folks at the dealer I would abuse mine leaving the lot. And since you'll probably be there to film it, maybe we'll all get to see the video here! [sm=shades.gif]

Looks like both of us saw that same gas cap.
BUT, NOOOO! My dad won't let me buy it.

Well I plan a hammering my when I leave the dealership .I was always told if you run hard when its new it will always run hard .Many stock cars build the motors then pull out on the track and away they go .I will have to check into the whole SRT thing and I hope not be needing parts for a long time .Im on D and hope to soon be D1

I asked the SRT engineers, during a chat session, if I could drive my Challenger SRT home from the dealer- approximately 400 miles. They said no problem, except AVOID wide open throttle until the engine is broken-in (about 500 miles). Since they designed the engine, I assume that they know best.

I guess it would be the best to let the engine get broke in before hammering it, but it's to hard to resist!
