Title: Re: Dodge Charger SRT-8
Post by: Racer X on March 23 2008, 11:55:07 AM: We got the car late last night and it was too dark to get pics. I will get some up today for sure! The car has the following:
Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Paint (Basically Candy Apple Black if you will)
6.1 Litre SRT HEMI V8 425hp powerplant.
5 speed auto trans
20" Aluminum Rims
Auto Stick Transmission
13" Brembo brakes at all four corners
1 year SIRIUS Radio
Boston Acoustics sound system (with a big ass woofer in the truck)
Surround sound tuned to the driver's seat
13 speakers in all
322 watt amp
200 watt sub woofer
Remote engine start
Dual Zone A/C
245/45ZR20 in the front
255/45ZR20 out back

AND...

SRT Track Experience
The SRT TRack Experience is one free day at a road course where they teach me how to drive this car! :bigeyes;

This is my wife's car and we got rid of her 2001 Suburban to get this. We test drove a bunch of Mercedes Benzs, but in the end I just could not bear any more humiliation from Zap about owning another German car. :yawinkle:

Rob, I started my mid life crisis in 1987 when I bought the Grand National! :supz: I hope this never ends! :cool; The only starnge thing that a man does as he ages is buy his wife a new car for HIS birthday! :rofl;

Pics coming in a bit...
