No problem! Your money spends much easier then mine!

Those Nitto 555r's last forever. I bought them half way used up. I used them on my Ram almost everytime I went to the track. Drove to and from the track on them. I sold them 3 years later for $100 and they still had some tread left!

They don't get as sticky as the Mickey Thompsons or M&H Racemasters do but they are 100 times better then street tires.

Plus 2 for $286, shipped? Thats cheap! Use them for your race and sell them again on ebay for what you paid!

Somebody local just traded in a black GT500 and a matching black Shelby GT both with less than 300 miles each!!! So, since they were used I got to crank up the GT500. They have the new ones roped off with a DO NO TOUCH sign on them. Anyway, the guy had put a Ford Racing suspension on the GT500 and upgraded the brakes. Dealership is askin $50K for it, so you know he lost his a$$ on the deal!!! Traded them both for a truck. Salesman mentioned that the guy was trying to dump some debt.

I think Ford is spending too much money advertising-like with knight rider! That show was the biggest flop- well maybe except for the Mustang in it!

ARE YOU SERIOUS? That Challenger is a HUGE disappointment.Look at the 1st picture in the review... notice only one tire is spinning? So it either has a trac-loc limited slip or an open differential?

Plus it only has the 6.1 hemi? WTF that car was made for the 6.4L 500 hp hemi.

And weight!! 4100 lbs is not a sports car. IT actually weighs MORE then the 4 door SRT-8 Charger that is insane. Guess thats what happens when the Germans pull out in mid development. If this was a new car instead of a 2 door LX Charger it would weigh 3200-3500 lbs and have the 500 hp 6.4 Hemi.

As a former Dodge Hemi guy I am disgusted!

Sorry, still like the looks of it! Also like the interior. And, no I didn't notice that it didn't have lsd.I always get excited when something else comes to a showroom!I've been disappointed with the mustangs I've looked at recently.Might be disappointed with this too in person, but will have to wait & see.

Its a PIG, basically a 2 door SRT-8 Charger.

This car was supposed to be so much more then this. Do you think it really takes almost 3 years to make a 4 door car into a 2 door car? Maybe you have not been following the development as closely as I have but it should have a 392 Hemi not a 370 Hemi. It should have been a new platform not the LX platform that the Charger/Magnum/300 share.

Trac-loc lock limited slip independant diff is problems waiting to happen. If you ever do get traction with it you have about 10 launches until this happens.

You are right! It's a fat pig that guzzles gas, but I still look forward to seeing it!!And, no, I have not followed it quite as closely as you have. I do think that they and Chevy are missing the retro gravy train especially with the gas prices going ^ now

Jeff, after reading all you have said about the hemi I'd be afraid to own one. Would you ever own another one?

YES,

but I would not try to make it my daily driver, as soon as you start to make power things start to break.

I watch car auctions , If I see a 2003 single cab Hemi Ram for less then $4000 its mine. But it would just be a track toy. It is very easy to be in the 12's in a regular cab Hemi. I could build a 10 second truck for 10k + the cost of the truck.

My Hemi Ram was faster then my G35's current best time on the motor. Add (75+125) 200 hp in nitrous and there is not a lot of things that could keep up with my Ram.

SneakyPete eat your heart out! thats a sweet set-up.

Anybody know if the Camaro will get some goodies from the Corvette parts bin as usual? more importantly that tasty LS7? and why does the mach 1 only have a 4.6L making 305? G series is taking it by a car length. especially if you can match or exceed the Mustangs contact patch with some new rubber.

There was 2003ish Mustang near my work earlier. It was loud and drove bold so I was hoping it would race me but the guy was too busy talking to his gf to race me.
