Doyle,
noting were you live...
and picturing long and winding roads...
(wait, wasn't there a loonnngggg book about that here once- )
anyhow...
back to the winding roads in your neck of So.Cal...
say, Lake Sherwood...
yeah, car commercial central...
but some of the best damn twisties I know...
the SRT8 would be a rocket through that stuff...
and at 438rwhp...
is that what you are getting with the supercharger?
I thought you would have more on tap...
regardless - it is an investment worth every penny...
I am trying to hook up with Roy for some tame spirited driving tomorrow...
and will give a final verdict on the upgrades...
after tonight's drive though...
if I never get to compare again...
I would still do it in a heartbeat...

starting to fall behind in the mod game...
the DCFO said uh, right...

Thanks for the great review CB! Now that my car is actually becoming a reality I may have to consider a few mods here and there. Now I don't want to start any trouble, but I thought there was some debate on messing around with this car's suspension?? Perhaps I don't recall the final outcome of this debate or maybe I'm just having too many adult beverages- am I out to lunch?
Good luck with the DCFO...

Smile Drive Safely

I don't have the supercharger on my SRT8, I'm staying normally aspirated. We do have some pretty nasty canyons in the valley, but I stick with the supercharged mini cooper with those, the paddle shifters are really a blast and that car sticks like glue, but hey, maybe after the KW's and Hotchkis it will be another story.

I do wish my wife would stop watching the Constant Gardener (at last it is almost over) maybe that's why I'm so fiesty, I WAS rewatching season one of Deadwood on DVD. Take care, drive safely and remember. . . 438,438, 438 . . . . . peace dude!
