11k miles in 2 years? Drive that thing!

Looks great, by the way. I think the Challenger is the most true to its heritage out of the 3 pony cars.

I think debadging the front would be great for your car, too. Will be interesting to see what's next in the "go fast" department.

Very cool, although it would've been cooler if you took the photo going 111mph.

I'm just jelly.

Still love the look. One of the cleanest Challengers I've ever seen.

Picked up my car from my shop today...looks like it was keeping good company the last 2 weeks.

That is Samuel Hubinette's Drift Challenger on the far right.

Nothing this time...had a CEL light from my last round of major modding. Just never had time to really leave the car at the shop, and my guy thought it was computer/tuning issue.

He was finally able to trace the problem to a faulty factory wiring harness on one side of the exhaust that was causing one of the o2 sensors to not read.

Fixed now

ah, I have been messing with custom tuning. Have had Johan looking at my logs. It's pretty cool being able to hook up my programmer & a laptop then go driving around & see real time data.

Yeah its good stuff! Did you get a predator or their new Intune (looks like an iPhone) that I think does a little more.

I have the predator as I bought it a couple years ago now. But I had a custom CMR done about 18 months ago when I had all current mods installed. Makes a huge difference.

Here:



The Challenger on the lift in the background is a 512 Drag Pak with the Viper V10 in it....bad ass. Not street legal, strictly a drag strip car.

Yeah Predator. When you use the laptop in the car it's just as useful as the newer ones. All the PID's are the same. Here's a WOT pic....

Went out for a cruise today for the first time in 19 months (when the twins were born).

Stopped to take a couple photos, not very happy with them overall but here are the most current shots of the car.

I haven't seen many Challengers that embrace the "classic muscle car" look like yours has. I can't put my finger on it, but man...that car is perfect.

to be honest i did not like the new challenger when they came out, but after going through this thread and test driving a 2012 srt8 challenger, i really like them.
that srt8 was a monster, obviously it could get up and go but it also took turns like a champ
