    I just brought this beauty home. It's a 2011 with 11.000 miles. Given how the second gear slips a bit I tend to think it's only previous owner never got to the third gear !

    There's a few things I need to change, primarily new rims for the look but mainly new suspensions. The rear jumps very quickly which makes it hard to keep the car steady in curves. I don't know if mine or beaten up or if the stock ones are crap but in both cases I need suspensions that will keep the car on the ground

    Quoted from TomDK:

    Hehe ... thanks for the comments , yes the discussion about the splitter guard is as old as the splitter guard.
    I know what it is but I like the yellow accent on the front.
    Several guys here remove the splitter guard and take colored foil as replacement
    There is a very small number Challengers and Chargers in Europe. Dodge is not selling them officially here. You have to go over a importer.
    Therefor people rellay often look after this beauty.
    Ford Mustang is also a very nice car , easy to get. For some years all thousands of Ford dealers sell Mustangs. You can get them with "Eco Boost" and 4 Cylinders, 6 years warranty. That was exactly NOT what I wanted.
    The bad point ... gas is much more expensive than in the USA. So it is a expensive car ... but its worh all the money at the gasstation.
    Tomorrow I take over also a Porsche Cayenne fom my father.
    German car, V8, 4.8 liters ... consumption the same as my Scatpack but nobody will have a look at it. You see it on every corner here.
    So the Scatpack is the better choice.
    The prices are here much higher for Dodge than in the US. But compared with the German brands you will get much much more engine , cubic capacity, horsepower ... much more car for your money. A BMW M series will cost nearly double the money.
    So the Challenger was a good choice.
    My dream beside the pinball would be a 1970´s Dodge but my wife would kill me if we have 4 cars in front of the house

    The good point is you have the Autobahn !
    Here the gas is cheap but on the highway you keep speeding and braking everytime there's a spot where a cop can hide, I probably spend more money on vas than you because of it !

    Quoted from DadofTwins:

    Thanks for the info. We aren't really looking for more performance, just to replicate the sound of the more expensive models if possible. I spent an hour searching this evening and couldn't find anything. Guess I will stop.at a dealership and see what I can find out.

    It's not so much the exhaust but the V8 that makes the sound of a GT. Eventually you will get a higher pitch but you won't get that depth.

    I've been going back and forth for weeks between a new Ecoboost and abused GT in a similar price range, I ended up going with the GT but only time will tell if it was the right choice.

    Has anyone used a custom ecu programmer like the SCT performance X4 ?

    I have my eyes on it but it looks too easy to be true.

    Quoted from dmacy:

    I have used it a lot on my Fords. It’s pretty easy. Just make sure you get all the updates from your PC plugged vs Wi-Fi directly.
    What are you tuning? And better yet, what does you custom tuner recommend?

    It's for a Mustang GT 2011, she really wakes up at 3500rpm, I want to improve below 3500. I think the engine doesn't get enough air. I haven't tuned it at all yet, so I'll probably add an air intake too.
