The numbers after the tune were 403hp/393tq. The car drives a lot better and I'm happy with the results.

No kidding...Wonder if those Hemi's can lay down them kind of numbers. Plus them have to drag around another 800 lbs.

The only thing that bugs me about Challengers is the dime width tires I always see on them. Even the SRT8's around here don't have any meat on the rears. They should have more being IRS. Not sure why that is.

totally agree! Must be a MPG thing, with less rolling resistance.

The 05 Mustang tires got skinnier than the 04 tho, even after adding what 60 hp?

245/45/17 vs
235/55/17
wtf

Finally a day off. Happy Birthday to whoever had one lately. Snowed another 4" last night.
Work has been crazy, 3 times in the last month I found damage to the Semi trucks I drive during my pre shift inspection. Twice the guy in front of me say he saw that damage too. I hope so as he was the one during it. Finally the 3rd time he almost rip the pass door off against an I beam backing in. He couldn't cover that up.
Daughter goes in for her Pet Scan Tuesday. $5000 for it, We talked to the place and I offer cash money, price came down to $1800 up front paid in full. I wrote them a check.
Oh yea here's some Mustang talk, car is still sitting in the garage.

Yea Tom how has that comute from Cleveland to Ft. Wayne. been this winter.

Scottie it would be a shame to sell the Mach unless its to me. But I got no place to store it.

I'm getting about 1 offer a week to buy my Raptor, seems the 2011's are having some problems and are very hard to find. this is crazy

Send me a check and my garage is yours until you can get one built. With all your over time it should be a breeze for you. It really has to go this summer. We ordered the 2011 Explorer last week and it should be in about 4-6 weeks. Gary is the one with a almost full stable of ponies. Just missing one generation.

The SRT8 Challenger will make that power and more with a cam swap. You won't see many out there with larger wheels because they're expensive and Dodge didn't give them much room to work with.

That picture of the new Charger actually isn't that far off, we saw a new one in Fort Wayne dealership last week and it looked very similar; even my wife said "wow what's that?" LOL....

Darrell, glad to see you around. And yes, the drive kinda sucks but Howard Stern keeps me entertained nowadays.

Lastly congrats Scott on ordering the new Explorer!

Crazy weather! Snow Thursday, torrential rain last night. Just got to my hotel in Cleveland and the whole first floor was evacuated today due to flash flooding! Good thing I'm on the 2nd floor LOL.

Karen and I went and saw "River Dance" in Columbus last year. It really is an awesome show. Us older generation will appreciate more than the younger folks.
