I thought I had read earlier that they came with srt floor mats. I believe I've read someone's post that they ordered mats. I did not want to order if they came with car unless to save originals. I've just seen the ones you can order at moparsupercenter

DiamDave,
The reason people want to disable these (helpfull) features is that they take away from driver skill. Most racing organiztions ban traction control because it makes those with less talent more competitive. Real race drivers steer with their hands and their feet. A brake tourque burnout is really not a burnout. A burnout without ESP and traction control means hold on baby, we're goin for a ride.

I have read a lot of posts wanting to disable the ESP. Do you have stock in Goodyear Tire Co? Even if you were to drag race the car, and I am sure most wont, you would want traction, right? I have raced most of my life and I can tell you a real racer would not want to sit in a cloud of smoke. They want to get from point A to point B faster than the other guy.
If you have to look cool, just put the car in manual first gear and shove the pedal to the floor. Oh yeah, and make sure your local tire store has your size in stock.

Hows it going, when is you Chally due in? Hope soon.
The ban on traction control means just that, no traction control. Not allowing a disabled control on a vehicle.
I still feel that those who want to smoke their tires can do so without any mods to the car. I have seen many posts by private owners showing as much. Also, many other features, antilock brakes for example, help the driver.
These cars are being purchased to show off, have fun and or bring back memories. I doubt most, if not all, will never be used as a competitive racer. I for one am very impressed with the engineering in my new Challenger and dont plan to do much other than a CAI and possibly exhaust mod. Additionally, why risk voiding your warranty over something that really does not matter? Brake torque verses no brake torque?? Well, whatever floats your boat I guess.
Good luck and may we all be posting pictures of our cars soon,
Dave

Joanie or Neil,
I know you have to be sick and tired of all of us parasites but your our only true and reliable host. With that being said if you feel like running VV anytime it would be appreciated if you would check 289405. MY dealer th9is morning said it was at ramp. I asked where Bramp or Wind, he said Brampton. I believe it may have finally reached Windsor. Looking for future rail car delivery and dealer delivery if available. Again thanks for your time and consideration.
