They really look tough and sleek at the same time. Is that the 6.1L Hemi in it?

Very sharp, I do like. If it was not a considerating of fuel milage, I would def consider for a future car.

My friends boss had a SRT8 jeep with I/E and a tune and it was quick. Did lose to my friends old Evo8(surprised his boss).

Then he did something and a coolant hose came off and he didnt know or some BS and warped the heads or somethign. So now he has a G37xS.... he will go back to power later on.


Nice trucks. HUGE tires.

I looked at the SRT8s and was damn close to buying one before the V until I realized how shitty the gas mileage was and I couldnt justify that considering I still couldnt even use an SUV to tow my jet ski or boat.

I've always loved those trucks but the gas mileage is awful.

The new ones can tow. I believe 5k.

Driven one, they are fun and have such an exotic look to them. Really just the dual pipes in the back. Launching an SUV like that is FUN and the look on people's faces at lights is great. Brakes are great as well. Fuel mileage? Wasn't my truck so wasn't paying attention!

never liked the way that generation of gc's looked, but they sure do move out. I think it's mainly the headlights that bug me.

Either way, his car, so congrats on picking up a hell of a sleeper (to most people).
