    Rear geared Tremec 6060, 0-60 in first gear est 3.5 sec
    Adjustable suspension and steering

    Dealer installed swirls: plan is paint correction, polish, jeweling, wet glaze and my new fave for show cars HD Poxy. Going to coat the wheels and trim.

    Thanx me too

    Thanx, actually I am American muscle fanatic. I also have a Charger RT and a Durango RT and love them. I was considering the new Challenger Hellcat but decided to stick with Snakes instead of cats.

    Too slow for my taste.
    Lately Ive seen that car( not yours ) running around my way. At first I never liked the Grabber Blue. Then the Shelby seemed to be everywhere. The more I looked the more I liked. Very sweet ride!! And the sound they make is amazing stock. Congrats and enjoy

    My good friend Jim Larocca. It will be a street tune not a dyno tune, take the car for a ride, data log and then adjust.

    Please post your results. I have a friend ( hard to beleive) that has a DIB (another fantastic color)- he's just a little slower than me for now anyway. He's on the fence about tuning it and I'd like to give him some good info. He like s to hit the track a couple times a year.

    My 10 GT500 was tuned by JL and had a 2.59 pulley and CAI. It made 540 RWHP on the dyno and it was a blast to drive. Just have to find a reputable tuner and your bud will have a smile ear to ear.

    So my SCT X3 will not work on my 13 and I need a new tuner. I did the following mods so far:

    Air Raid blue non-oiled filter
    JLT Carbon Fiber intake tube
    JLT Oil separator
    Painted radiator cover with stripes
    Painted strut bar with stripes
    Painted coil covers
    LED plate/trunk/interior lights
    Custom Car grilles Shelby Insert Grills
    Front stone/mud guards
    6000k HIDs and 6000K LED fog lights
