thanks for the info Jay. I do have AIM but I'm unable to use it at work. I'll be on tonight, screen name is psuTyger.

I was going to go crazy and buy the whole zaino detail kit with claybars, leather conditioner/cleaner, and all their stages of polish, but I think I'll just buy the mothers claybar, and pick up the zaino leather stuff. I need to condition the leather and everyone says the zaino leather products work and smell awesome. I've used Scratch X on my truck before and it worked well, so maybe it will help get rid of the few swirls in the paint.

ill let you know my thoughts on jaxwax and the meguiars ultimate detailer.

I've seen a jaxwax car in person and it looks awesome, and did my tests on it, and it came out quite well so far.

I don't need no stinkin tests....

I do what I want, when I want.

But that usually means me sitting alone with a bucket of chicken, a can of ginger ale, the latest issue of Corvette magazine and some quiet music.


Wait... that came out wrong...

nevermind...

Before you trade too many cars in Denny, just thought you should know Shortbuss.net has a limit for how many lines you can have in your sig....

Dude...that rocks. Pics? One of my favorite cars. I'm scared to stand in front of them. Looks like it'll eat me.

And the 300C SRT-8s are badass, too.

You go through cars like popcorn haha. You going f/i with it? Or building it up n/a? Can't imagine you leaving it alone. I don't think I've run across what those can do with some mods.

Try Mack's pizza. Best pizza around.

And if you get bored go cruise up to Stone Harbor, 96th street, and just check out all of Stone Harbor/Avalon. The cars you'll see haha...

Well since I don't like popcorn, I have to go through something LOL

For now it's staying as is...Dodge isn't known for being the best in initial quality and I'd like any issues to be fixed under warranty. Combine that with my history of trading at 6-7 months, I don't know if I'll ever get around to do anything to it

I know nothing of that engine, aside from the HEMI drilled into me by advertisements.

6.1 liter right? Something like 425 hp? Mid 13s stock?

I'm sensing some fun Goat vs. Charger runs here

Indeed. My last run-in was w/ an Charger RT, and I screwed up the launch. I should've manhandled him. The SRT-8 should be a bit more of a challenge. RWD and auto FTW

It feels pretty slow to me actually...it weighs way too much - almost 4200 lbs. It needs every one of the 425 horses in my opinion, but it is a super car to drive and is very comfortable.

I've read reports of the charger srt-8's running 12.8x's stock...seems like a pretty familiar number I've also read about how they were difficult to tune, but I'm not sure if that's still the case or not.

Either way, those are pretty bad rides - huge brakes, huge wheels, and I'm pretty sure that 425 is underrated. I still remember sitting in one at the detroit auto show and thinking holy crap this beast has a ton of room inside, even more than the goat.

Edit: wooo! 25 posts and they're almost all in this thread

Well I'd be SHOCKED if this thing ran low 13's, let alone break 12's. LOL
