    I very recently bought an 06 Charger SRT-8.

    Been a MOAR guy my entire life but from a performance standpoint that has always meant mid to late 60's with a few early 70's. Now I have finally entered a new era of MOPAR Perfomance.

    A friend asked me why I would prefer to drive an SRT-8 over my '69 AMX. Oh my, lets see, it's qiucker, faster, more comfortable, has a kick a$$ stereo, sunroof, let's not forget A/C, 4 wheel disc brakes and cruise ... Gee, I am not sure why I would rather drive it!

    I live in the Topeka area and have much to learn about the LX platform and the SRT-8 in particular. Please bare with my ignorance while I ask the stupid questions.

    Oh ... and if anyone keeps track of this stuff ...

    06 CHSRT in Inferno Red with 32k miles.
    Option packages I and II w/sunroof.
    DUB CAI w/Magnaflow cat back exhaust.
    and has extended bumper to bumper untill 02/11 or 70k.
    Paid 22k ... thinkin I did good.

    - Mark

    Welcome!


    You did keep the AMX though right? That's a piece of history right there (and having owned a Javelin for a number of years of my youth I have a soft spot for them :grin:).

    Mark,
    The folks here are the best ones to ask questions. Lord knows you'll get better answers here then at the dealership.

    As for the 'N' word, how about Worm, Greenhorn, or wet behind the ears...?
