Yep! And keep stability control (advance trac...not traction control) on until you get used to her. This car will get you in trouble real quick!!

I like to drive my wifes chrysler 300 every now and then, just so my car will feel so nimble next time I drive it.
He had a Challenger not much of a difference still to heavy but it was a Challenger.

Will do! I've gotten a few nice tastes of the power under the hood and it's pretty sweet. Boy that front hood jumps up and then the car slingshots ahead as the afterburners kick in the second time. Goodness!

Just wait until she's broken in. Feels like a different car!

I also LOVE the fact that $$ for $$ you will get more for your money than just about any other modern car on the road. They respond very well to mods and most can be done in your driveway with basic tools and 6 pack.

Thanks, yes she's me and the wifes favorite car and color for sure. I have noticed some non too professional aftermarket installation of the GT Stripes on the hood and trunk lid. Lotsa bubbles and scratches. This was farmed out at the dealership and I took it in today and also showed them a nice six inch scratch on top of the bumper where it looks like someone was using the bumper as a surface to cut the striping material for the bumper or trunk lid. All will be fixed next week but I may have to give up the ride for a couple of days. Bummer, but....I know I'll be sorry if I don't get this taken care of at the outset. The car is running stronger and sounding much deeper and throatier by the day. Straight from the factory the sound is twice as muscular as my '07 GT was before I upgraded to a Borla catback, and three times as muscular as my R/T was before I gutted it's exhaust for a Magnaflow catback.
