Car looks great, those things sound meannnnn! When I was at the track last weekend there was one there who I think was a regular. I got to line up against him and thought it would be a pretty good race. That was until I heard his car sound very very "lobbey" and I could tell he had some serious work done.
So we get to the tree and bam, off the bat I get a car length and I was pretty excited then I think I could almost hear him laughing at me as he blew past after the 60.
To make a long story short, I ran a 12.8, that guys beast ran like an 11.4.
And oh ya, to top it off, he left his babies car seat in the back while he raced. Kind of like rubbing it in that he didn't need to do any weight reduction and he'd still win.

New mods, rear strut bar, & blacked out corner lights. Trunk needs to be finished, Going to dynamat it since it's apart & easy to do. Had to order it so it will be a week till it's back together.

I did need to do something with the handling though. I'm tired of the rear end wanting to fly out. I'm trying to lesson that more then anything. The front & rear bars, are my attempt at that & then I will go sway bars if I have too. I'm not lowering it. I draw the line there.And I have a stack performance catch can.

Stronger and lighter than the rest 
I don't have strut braces on my car...just springs, shocks, and sways...and a subframe brace.
The sways should do more for you than the strut braces.
I like it. Grille looks much much better but if it was me i would pick a Jeep. Parting out soon my CL as well and moving on something better maybe 06-07 cts-v ? Or spec b.
Keep up good work
mod it a bit more... Maybe an exhaust and headers?

Pretty damn good with those dyno numbers, you've got me beat by 15hp & 5ftlbs!
Were you able to feel the difference with those rear strut bars. Also, do you have any other suspension upgrades on the 300?

Sway bars are next. The spring & shocks are fine & tuned to the car. Better tires too, but I have to wear the current set out.
I replaced my brake pads on the brembos this weekend too. Very easy! I was surprised.

Still trying to get to the track...
Additions....
I blew the engine mounts, the 6MT Challenger has upgraded engine mounts so I installed those ones. They are more of a solid design & they last.
Put the Hankook V12 tires on, big suckers 255-45-20's
Installed THICK sway bars
Upgraded the factory kicker amp to the higher wattage one.
I needed more bass, Upgraded the subwoofer & added a better sub amp, it's all hidden & I have my trunk space.

oh I forgot..... Blastin bobs resonator deletes.....
Sounds pretty good. Deep tone but not too loud inside or outside the car. Unfortunately the cheap camera I have doesn't have great sound.
