Interesting list. Any info on the top 5 or 6 cars as far as weight reduction, suspension, etc.?
I'm sure there is on the site. I'd have to look at each poster to see.

IIRC KDanner has done a good amount of weight reduction

You think paying $350 shipping for long tubes is bad.. imagine an entire car from the lower 48! lulz

There goes my plans of sticking a 4.10 in there and a 4000 stall

3.31's look like they're still hauling tail in that 6 speed auto. My 08 with overdrive locked out making it a 4 speed did great in the 8th, but suffered up top. Even with a supercharger, top end was limited to 130.

The stock gears must hook on the street then pretty well? been icy out.. no good time to test drive, but what do I care? I bought my 08 dead of winter, no snow tires. I miss being young and dumb lol

Been eyeballing On3Performance.com's twin turbo kit on Ebay for a surprising $3,495 for some time. Curious about tuning though, since I am limited to email data logs and revisions.

Geeeezuusss.. I swear I am cursed. It's not even a friggin' Auto. I knew it was too good to be true. I asked the guy repeatingly online if it was an auto or manual, and they insisted it was an auto, when they finally sent pics.. guess what? a friggin' stick. Nothing against stick, but I really wanted an automatic. WTF eh?? so annoying. Stick is not an option since I suck *** at driving stick let alone racing/launching them.

yeah.. it sucks up here.. cars pop up every now and then.. then it's dead for a very long time. Oh well..

Ironically, we have ZERO snow on the ground as well.. nothing compared to you guys on the East Coast. I have no idea what's going on

The good news is that I always plan for the future.. they offered me $27k for my base model RT AWD which is pretty generous for it's milage (11k). Most dealerships will want to buy my car for a trade in

Considering that they will no longer make the Hemi in AWD for 2015 (except for the stripped down Police Pursuit Charger's) it makes the 2nd gens very valuable. I think I might have to quit being a cheapskate and possibly consider a 2015 in the summer. Obviously I'll have to order it since it's a SIN to keep any automatics in stock so it seems.

The HellCat or even 392 is out of my price range, even at the 6.4 they just seem godawful expensive for a blue collar guy like me. Dodge has been great all these years, especially the AWD but damn they're expensive to make even reasonably fast (low 12's).
