Factory LED rear tails...if there not on the list. I read the whole thing, but by the time I got back to reading some other things I forgot what was on and off the list.

Oh, one more thing. When you shift the vehicle, it should SHIFT. No hesitation, please.

Cool idea Dan.

I do not think this has been mentioned yet, but what about some support for the aftermarket tunability of the 6.1l Hemi?

Its too bad today everyone has a lawyer. If they 'allowed' the ECU to be freely tuned, some knuckle head would set the rev limiter to 10k, blow the motor and take out the minivan in the next lane.

I can hear it now. "Well DCX let me tune it."

As for improving the platform, cross drilled rotors.

Maybe add a couple of hundo to the sticker, I'd pay for that.

So far I count "115 ways to Improve the LX Platform"

Any more thoughts???

[skeletonizer]

Did anyone say "Manual transmission"?

[teahead]

Did someone already say switchable XM or Sirius radio?

How about a BIGGER front NAV screen?

Couple inches more front leg room? I can never have enuff.

Oh yeah, biggest gripe: SRT8 seats with MORE THIGH support! I don't have 24" legs!

Does the cruise control look and feel like an afterthought on these cars or is it me? Maybe put the controls in the Steering wheel.

I agree with you but that cruise control stalk is a Mercedes thing......

To everyone who said "cross drilled rotors", I say:

If you're willing to accept decreased performance in exchange for improving the looks, get a 300C. Those are for blingin...SRTs are for hurting the other guy's feelings.

Wow....that's a great list! Only thing I disagree with is the night vision. It's a total BS toy for those who have nothing better to do with their money. More accidents would be caused by people taking their eyes off the road to look at the night vision TV screen. It's a retarded concept... The army drives using night vision...at speeds under 30MPH! Hell, the army flies using night vision...but how much traffic do helicopters have to worry about? And in both cases, we're talking about wearing goggles in near total darkness, not using a device that takes your eyes off the road as an excuse to drive faster than your headlights can see. Night vision on a TV screen in a passenger car is as usefull as tits on a fish.
