    Default Sold the Bimmer, picked up a new... uh... Chrysler?

    So, I sold this...



    To make room for moar kids. Now I have this:









    I had never even seen a new 300 SRT8 in person- when I did, the decision was quite simple. It's a really solid car throughout. Nothing like any car I've ever driven before. It corners so much better than you think it does. Just a little understeer that can be corrected with the slightest throttle. It's a joy to drive.

    I also just found out today that this is the same car that the dude from Breaking Bad has in the show (I guess I'll have to start watching it now, since it is spec'd exactly like mine):

    Thanks! I did a run against my buddy's LS3 (13 Vette). From about 50-110 he moved from my rear quarter panel to my front quarter panel. I was shocked how well mine hung in there.

    Absolutely. I am doing a MOPAR intake, which states it adds 10whp, which should make it around 450 whp. Corsa exhaust for sure- only way to go with a Bropar. ill show pix when installed.

    Make sure you go on drivesrt.com and register for an SRT track experience. It is included in the cost of every new SRT vehicle so even if you bought it used and the previous owner never used it then you are good to go.

    Thanks for the info. Only issue is the car has been registered over a year (19 months) so I think it won't qualify. I did sign up though. Maybe they'll hook me up.

    i did mine after 3 years of the car being registered so dont be surprised. They generally just ask for proof of ownership and if the Vin has not been used you are good to go.
