70sguy

The car is worth the wait, it is awesome. If there is anything that could or should be improved is the stereo. It can be adjusted to sound much better, but can never be world class. I have boston acoustics in my truck and my wife has bose 7to1 surround in her car, it is the best I have ever heard. All of the design and engineering cues are absolutely perfect. I don't know how dodge could have done any better than they did. The car is beautiful. I want to drive it all of the time. I will look for an excuse to drive it.

Andre your car is unloaded and i am sure your dealer will have it early tomorrow...if you want i know the service manager there and i will call him to get your car thru pdi for you
just let me know......are you sure you want to modify with out really getting a good feel for the car....i gave Shaky the magazine today when he came to my dealer, on the mopar challenger with all the mods...he was reading the magazine to see what all they did to it....then he forget it on my desk.....if you want it i can send it to ya.....
good luck and have fun with your car....Joani

Andre@Edge

Thanks Joani,
I hope they send it to the dealer tomorrow. Anything you can do with the service manager would be great. My main concern is that no front plate be installed. I talked with Nathan from fleet/net sales, and he said he would make sure it was not put on.

I'm starting to believe my day is about here:-)

Just got back from Sacramento in my new Challenger. I really dont have time for all the stories of people looking and wanting to talk about the car. Its in the dozens in just two days!!

On a brand new engine I got 20.5 mpg on the highway!! Thats right 20.5!! After the initial break in we did a lot of lead foot driving up in Sac mixed in with some highway miles and still got almost 18 mpg. On the way back we hit a lot of traffic and drove 80 to 85 mph when we didnt. I got 20 mpg on the way back. In almost 1,000 miles I am averaging 19.5 mpg. I put on the CAI the first night and modified my exhaust the next morning, dont know if this helped the mpg?

Andre....YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT!!!!

Joani....See you this week. I want to see about the paint coating and window tint.

Good Luck,

Dave

deep south

Congrats Andre!!!


You are going to have some fun tomorrow. Keep all of us updated on all of you mods. and their gains in HP. This is a very fun car to drive and I can't wait to make mine go faster. You are in for a treat. Jim
