eeewwwww !!!
automatic


nice car tho (if you're into things like a usable trunk, and accessing the comfy back seats)

hope you guys enjoy it.
sounds like you guys got a hell of a deal on it,
the R/T's (loaded) were going for about $38K here in bremerton a few months ago



I glanced at them when I was shopping for a car,
but I wouldn't be able to handle having an automatic (just my prefference)

Bring that Bitch to the track,
I have yet to see any of the new HEMI dodges at the track

They have the auto-slap-stick feture where you have to blip the shifter from side to side to make it shift. Feels like the car goes into an agressive tune mode when you do that. And I'm sure we will bring the new baby out for one run to see what it does. I'm guessing hi 13s.

Very nice! I have heard that they run mid-14s, but you never know. . .

I really like those--we just have the 3.5L in our rental fleet, though. . . Oh well. They scoot pretty good!

Not stock with a 5500 pound car!! I was shoked when I saw how much that thing weighed. I hear you'll be in the mid 14's.
But like I said exaust and cold air will net you at least 26hp, which will help.

ok, the 06 weight is 4031, the 5500 might be a slight exageration but the one we had on the lift was a lot heavier than 4031 I thought. Nice car none the less. I gave them a serious look as well. I wanted the srt8 though.
