    [new dodge challenger] sound off!

    That Challanger is sweet! I love my 05 vert but man that Challenger would look good parked next to it. If they both came out at the same time, it would have been a much tougher decision to get the stang. :canada:

    POWERHOUSE driveshaft

    I've been thinking about the one piece carbon fiber driveshaft from BMR. They maintain that you will see a gain of 15+ RWHP due to it's light weight of 20.7 lbs versus the factory unit at 42.3 lbs. Sounds interesting but $1,100.00 is kind of pricey. :canada:

    GT or V6?

    I think you will constantly wish you had bought the V8 if you buy the six. You mentioned hating the lack of power that your Mazda has ... need more torque, etc. The V8 will put a big smile on your face for a long time!

    wheel opinions please

    I know you have already narrowed your search but can I make a suggestion. I also liked the Zenetti 5's but after a while, they lost appeal to me. I have just ordered AR Rogues 18X8.5 in Chrome and I also love the look of TSW Vortex in chrome. You might want to re-consider (Just my opinion)

    Black Car

    Always wash in the shade. Keep the entire car wet until you are finished. I live in the country so I simply pull out of my driveway, make two lefts to the nearest highway and accelerate to 90 Mph for approximately 30 seconds. Car is dry.:D

    Automatic or Manual

    The automatic / manual issue was a huge one for me. I prefer manual transmissions and have owned many manual performance cars over the years. I have driven both 05's and ended up buying an automatic. The automatic performs extremely well. I am very pleased with it. BTW, the automatic is...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Convertible

    I am looking for aftermarket wheels for my 05 black convertible. So far, the ones I like best are the enkei LM1 chrome (18X8 or 18X9). I also like the forged American Racing GT5's but am not interested in spending $4k just for rims. Does anyone have any pics of convertibles with aftermarket...
