2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Plus w/Shaker package. 5.7L 6-speed and Super Track Pack. Nothing major for mods, Eibach Pro-Kit springs, Hotchkiss swaybars front and rear, front and rear strut tower braces, Barton shifter and Speedlogix rear torque arms.
Spent a bunch of time on the road course with it this summer, upgraded brakes are my first upgrade when she comes out of storage in the spring.

I’m 34 and i feel like I’m the end of the age group that learned stick.
Their excuse is that autos are faster why would i buy a stick. I feel sorry for them they don’t know how enjoyable and more engaging a 3 pedal car is.
My wife just got her first stick car, a 2019 Hyundai Veloster N, that's her in front of me to go out on track in my second picture. She is absolutely loving it, and probably won't willingly go back to an automatic.
We are in our 40's though. I've been diving stick shift since I was 15. 
Quoted from Sputnik:My new car got here Friday. Traded the silver 5.7 hemi for the red 6.4 hemi.

Good choice with the Shaker!
I love mine!

But, seeing it is a 5.7L RT, I installed a 6.4L intake manifold, 6.4L exhaust manifolds and exhaust, coilover kit, front and rear swaybars, a one-piece aluminum drive shaft and a strut tower brace. And of course the hemi fever tune.
I've got a 5.7L R/T Plus, how do you find the one piece drive shaft? Which one did you get? I think the hanger bearing is starting to go on my stock 2 piece. I already had the sport suspension on mine, so I just used lowering springs on the stock Bilsteins and the biggest swaybars I could get(Hotchkiss). Whiteline rear cradle bushings, adjustable rear upper control arms, toe links and subframe connectors as well. I did do the 180 thermostat since I only drive my car in the summer and I do track it (road course) on the weekends. My coolant and oil temps were getting uncomfortably high on hot and humid track days.
I skipped the 6.4L manifolds, shorty headers just weren't worth it to me on a cost/labour vs gains scale. I do all my own work and if I'm fighting with those SOB's to get them off, it's long tubes or nothing.
Kicked around the idea of doing a blower, but we just moved in the spring and money is kinda tight while we do house renos and such. Now going back and forth between blower or just doing a hotter cam and a tune.
