So maybe I'll soon qualify to be a real member of this forum and not just a vendor...

    Because...
    I'm aiming to get an SRT8 as my new daily driver!! Oh man if I can find one I'll be a happy camper. I'm planning to go with my mechanic's wife who has a dealer license to a local Chrysler auction in which the company itself auctions off their own cars - probably lease returns or corporate cars of some sort. SRT8s come through regularly and pricing is obviously way less than retail so I should be able to find a nice car for a very good price.

    I'm hoping to find a Charger SRT-8 in Inferno Red, Silver or Black. If I can't, then I'll get a Chrysler 300C SRT-8 instead. Either way, it'll make a badass daily driver. The modded Magnum R/T will still be weekend/family fun car but no matter what the occasion is, we'll be taking "the Hemi" and I'm pretty excited about that. :D

    haha no this one won't be modded....much...at all. I'm thinking tint, a catch can and that's about it. Maybe when it has 150k miles from benig used for work (I'm in sales), I'll drop an stroker in it. Like five years from now...

    Indeed we did, Ron. Look at my Magnum. Was bought as a daily driver, but I couldn't sell my LHS so ended up using the LHS my daily driver. The Magnum now has heads/cam/headers and new SRT wheels/tires. It wasn't "meant to" happen but it did.

    I wonder how long it'll take before I do something more than just the above items to the SRT... haha it's an addiction

    Let's see.. tint and a catch can. Maybe 2.5 weeks to get that done. and you'll probably have been thinking during that time... So I'm setting the line at 27 days until you get an order in for something over the tint and catch can :bye:. I'm guessing a CAI and before that arrives in the mail you'll have a cat back in the works. ...and probably a predator or trinity within a week of the exhaust and then you'll probably start sprinkling BT stuff in with the orders after that :)

    LOL...I also agree with everyone on this one. I was watching my loaded Inferno Red Charger SRT8 being hauled off in the back of a semi truck car hauler soon after I bought it brand new...en route to a 426. I would have told you there was a better chance of me turning into a badger than me sending my 40k car off for something like this at the time.

    Sighhhh...:)

    When you find your car, call Legmaker to hook you up with a CAI, they look smashing and are well priced as well!

    Nu blev jag allt lite imponerad...
    Well, I wasn´t going to mod mine either, I´m just about to make a 8.000 $ order, and it won´t even be visiable!

    Fredrik;)

    For our english speaking friends, Swedish and Danish are closley related languages origin from German, we usually understand eachother quite well.
