Thats sounds amazing, though the sound of the auto shifting kinda killed it for me lol. There is another video with the SLP exhaust and it also sounds great. I just cant get over how tall the chally looks in the back and those egg-shaped mirrors, but the front is just pure sex right there.

I went to look at one recently with a friend and i can tell you the back is disturbing at best. I remember my friend leaning on the back, and the top of it came up to his chest. Made him look like a dwarf really.

The salesman said that he owned one, and had dropped it 4 full inches just to try and eliminate that problem. All i can say is that you realize how HUGE the car is when looking at the back up close.

Anybody who gets an SRT needs to get this exhaust setup:


That third rev sounds like a tiger roaring. Mmm. So cool.

what a joke. i hope chrysler goes up in flames.
Well I was wondering why the new commercials for Dodge's EPP program no longer show the Challenger in front of the other cars. Now I know why.

I wouldn't consider buying a challenger. A green 'cuda, however... Well, that I might consider.

But I doubt one will be made any time soon, especially with the state Chrysler is in.
