Any mods?

CWO_Maddog · 09-16-2011, 09:54 PM

Well it's pushing nearly 3800 shaft horsepower...no mods needed

I wish I had his contact info to ask if he knew how they got around the encryption, but I suppose the dealers have the keys to the ECU's encryption scheme...

Would be interesting to see in person. In order to get 500rwhp, you need atleast headers however 550rwhp, he must have either engine work or a boost application. Does he like Nitrous?

There is definitely no tuning available for the 2011-2012 Dodge Challenger 392cid SRT8 model.

Had a Challenger...just traded it in for a Camaro. I loved the Dodge styling, but the quality was just not there man. A/C went out three times in 25k miles. Paint was chipping everywhere. I think it was going to start rusting soon haha. Camaro is a much higher quality car IMHO.

Sounds like you got a bad car, I have heard the same gripes on here though about the Camaro, especially the paint gripes.

I think ALL new "domestic" cars are going to have the same problem with the paint. We can thank the eco-friendly people for paint that scratches if you look at it funny. I just bought a 2003 A6 Audi and the paint is WAY more durable...

I have 2 out of 3. My ownership feedback is that overall the Camaro SS package gets the edge while from a purely driver's standpoint I can't argue much against the Boss, so to speak.

And I tested both Challenger R/T and SRT8- while both are formidable and intimidating due to their heft, in my personal preference the former is a par below a Mustang GT or Camaro SS while the latter is just way overpriced for what it is. Although if I were ever to pull the trigger on a Mopar, it would certainly be the Challenger SRT8 for me.. or maybe the forthcoming 'Cuda (but that's another topic). Long story short, I ended up getting these 2 and can't complain much.

Test drive all 3 variants and choose with your mind and senses as well, not just your heart. Your intentions on what to do next is also a big factor- if you're out to mod the crap out of it then either the Camaro & Mustang will be the better choice. I'm not into modding much as I always try to keep my rides as stock as possible- so I just enjoy them (beauty & performance) for what they are straight from the factory. Good luck!

30K miles on my 10' Challenger SE, had zero problems (other than one burned out tail-light bulb). Most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. Car was very solid, just underpowered.

Okay, what do you use to detail your rides.....They shine. I want mine to gleam that well

I work at the headquarters of Chrysler in Auburn Hills as an engineer and I drive a Camaro ha.
The chargers and challengers are definitely great cars, but unless you get the SRT, I would go with the Camaro.
The upgrades to the fascia makes the SRT Charger one mean looking car, it has it all, but with an obvious price tag.
