WTG Bro!

Dont you go and vanish on us now. I for one would miss your funny azz posts. When you get a chance today, call me and give me the low down.
If you have 30 whole miles on it, and it still has tread, then you are not breaking it in right!

How is the sound system?

I have 2000 KM (1200 miles) on my car now and I am still in love with this car, I went for a cruise with my 17 year old son last night and I let him drive it so he could be seen by his buddy's driving a Challenger, his only comment (other than an ear to ear smile) was WOW when do I get a set of keys.
Been stopped 6 times so far by Police (my boy sharded his pants when they pulled him over) just wanting to get a closer look at the car.
No disappointments, you guys are going to love your cars.

I agree with everything you said Mopar2ya! I am glad to hear you received yours! Mine is broke in as I have 1700 miles on it now. I keep trying to race it a little but I have a hard time finding any takers. Yet there was this Audi the other day that thought he had something so I let him get in front of me and when the light went green he took off. Naturally, I laid into it as well but I had to let off after a little bit because I almost ran into the back of him

Be safe and have a great time!

Congrats brother. Glad to see that all worked out. Rubberbndman andI will be catching you later I guess. Im glad that the testors kept you at bay while you waited.

GOT ONE!! As I have mentioned, I ordered two under my name from the dealer. One for a friend and one for me. I did this in an attempt to secure the MSRP deal on both cars. My friend backed out. His black one came in and we went to look at it. He decided not to go through with it and that Black Challenger SRT8 just looked ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL… so I had to grab it! This car may be the meanest nastiest car I have ever seen in my life. IT IS TOO COOL!!

So we went down last night and picked it up. WOW! I am about speechless! I don’t think it has completely sunk in that this big bad dog is sitting in my garage. It now has 30 miles on it. It is incredibly hard to stay off the throttle. Hammering the throttle is so cool… the car actually snarls and growls and then just gets down to business!! I cant seem to wipe this childish grin from my face!!

I don’t know what to say other than this is hands down the coolest baddest car I have ever had the pleasure of driving… let alone owning.

Now the Challenge will be when MY Hemi Orange one comes in. Can I resist the temptation to buy another… will it seduce me into purchasing and stretching my budget to the max. If so will it be worth the pain and anguish of the ensuing divorce… stay tuned…

THIS CAR ROCKS!!

There were pictures recently of some allegedly hail-damaged Challengers (which didn't look bad at all) sitting in Omaha waiting to be put up for auction there. Maybe it was one of those.

Congratulations to GPMAN and mopar2ya!!!

Great picture GPMAN - you need to frame that one and thanks both for the initial assessments - both sound great and make me feel better about the decision to actually get one...someday soon i hope.
