Well, going by the usser name I know what you got. I like them for looks but you have to keep them stock. In my opinion a complete garbage motor and computer system.

I turn 50 tomorrow and married 24 years in 3 weeks. Listening to the wife is a smart move. It's a smart move especially when she is on board with you getting a new toy.

Enjoy

I wouldn't. leave it stock. They are great stock cars.I like driving them. They also have a very common problem of the throttle going 100% open by themselves with a blower. Ask me how I know? They also have bigger emission problems when modifying due to the serious lack of tuning out there.

Look at my website and see the orange one. Procharged/headers ect.

Ghee Doug way to get in on the bashing...

I think 470HP and 470TQ is plenty for now and I do not plan on adding anything except catback exhaust and CAI for now. I will not add a blower or anything else until I can afford to forge the bottom end and then I will do it all at once and that will be a while..

Not a bash. Just the opinion from someone who built them , tuned them and seen all the problems. Keep it stock and be happy. They make the same rwhp as the camaro, maybe slightly more.

I know... I was just kidding...

There are things that I like better about the Challenger over the Camaro and vice versa. The Challenger with the Trac Pack and upgraded suspension feels like it's riding on rails straight from the factory... So are you saying that if I bring this one to you that you would not want to do upgrades and tune it?
