Not a fan of Chrysler due to issues I had, but love the look of the Challenger and the sound of that SRT8!!!!!! :chuckle: HOping it's a winner winner chicken dinner!!
Have you had any issues that you've had to take to dealership to resolve?
Is it holding up as good as it looks??
Any regrets? Or still in love with her??

Believe me, I was hesitant on buying a Dodge....but I still love that morning drive into work :)

Only issue so far has been the drivers' side lower plastic skirt needed to be replaced because it was popping out of a few clips. It's a known issue...just a bad/cheap design. Engine doesn't burn any oil, but I get the hemi tick every now and then but from what I've read, its normal. Really the only thing I've had the dealership do is my free oil changes and turn on my DRLs.

After my man cave project at home, I'd like to do a CAT-Back to really piss off the neighbors! lol

What are your thoughts on a catch can? It's one of those highly debated topics on the Challenger forums...not sure if I should install one.

Sounds good!!!
Would be curious to know how much they are catching with the SR8.
I' would want to see some evidence before adding one.
Co-worker has the mod bug bad and has a custom exhaust that has pipes going out the back and behind the doors with a switch in the cabin to change the path on the fly!! On his newish 5.0 Stang. Says it is obnoxiously loud when he swithes to the sides!!!! I think he got the idea from the new 302's.
I remember some Challengers came with side exhaust back in the 60/70's.....now, that would really wake up the neighbors!!!! :naughty:
