Congrats! Looks like a beast.
How do you like the seats? I've only heard good things about them.
You sure you won't miss the MT much?

I might miss a manual down the road, but out of the 8 previous cars only 2 were automatics, so it's nice to actually take a break for a while. Plus the MS6 had a fairly heavy clutch pedal feel to it so it was a pain in a lot of traffic. This car feels like it was made for just sitting back and cruising, so that's what I will do.

be prepared for lots of dudes with "little dick" syndrome.
I swear the dumbest people always get uppity around my car when I drive it. This time it was some putz in lancer (not an evo) and some legend who didnt want to let me merge in, when I had right of way...he didnt succeed.

^ Funny enough the other day a kid in a blue 'Stang with a spare on the front fishtailed it through a 4 way intersection while I was waiting at the other stop sign. I just chuckled as he almost lost it and crashed.

But right now...you're lucky cause I think you get to use mid-grade with the auto tranny...even though when you tune you'll probably go premium...the 6spds are always premium from the factory.

Heh...dont get used to it...it'll probably get a little better when you get a tuner...then it just starts to drop when you really start to mod

Well for one I have MDS aka cylinder deactivation and I'm down like 50hp on you, and as I said above I'm not driving it like I stole it... yet.
Thanks man. Yeah it's a whole different kind of fun than a turbo'd 4 banger. I enjoyed the thrust of the MS6's mid-range but the instant torque from the HEMI is just as nice. OK it's nicer lol.

Completed my first mod this morning. Took off the door moldings and the dealer sticker on the back trunk. Unfortunately the front license plate frame is going to have to stay on since there's four huge holes and some decent scratches underneath, but I'll be replacing the dealer plate with a MOPAR plate soon.
Onto the photos...

'08 MX5 GT 6spd.
Acurazine has single-handedly made me like the Charger (...and many other cars!). Don't know why I didn't post this in my first post, but I like that color too. Can't wait to see what you do to it.

It will go lower, but right now it's low (pun intended) on the priority list.
I know the feeling man. When Sarlacc and Deltabox got the Challengers and then Fuzzy got the 300C SRT8 I was wishing for a HEMI. I never really though much about the Chargers until I sat in a 300C SRT8 and knew it wasn't for me. Just didn't fit my style. But then I started looking at the Chargers R/Ts more and more and with the right wheels/color I started really liking them and then when I found mine online I was absolutely sold on them.

Funny coincidence with the HI thing. I loved my shift kit I put in my Skylark back in the day. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the info on the OCC.
That comes stock from the factory with the Dukes of Hazard Package.
Thanks! What did you get??
I'm totally fine with taking the engine cover off. It's ugly. I was going to for the photos but the engine needs some dusting. I freaking love the 6.1 intake manifold. That's going to be on my list of goodies I'm sure.
Thanks bro! And thank you for being such a wealth of information on the Speeds. I loved my MS6 but it was just time for a change.
Thanks! It's great to be part of the family with 470hp monsters among us haha!

I'm not going to lie I was definitely nervous, but I took my time and used a hair dryer with light pressure. The only issue I had was on the passenger front door I had a tiny bit of bubbling underneath the molding. I bought a $3 can of Turtle Wax rubbing compound and a $3 pack of cotton applicators from K-Mart, went home and buffed the bubbles down to where they're almost impossible to see and extremely hard to detect running your fingers across the door. I was definitely sh*tting bricks when I saw them but luckily they were small enough to buff out. The 3 other doors were perfect underneath and only required a wet microfiber cloth to get the dirt and remaining adhesive off.
