One of the things I could recover from the other car was the catch can. The folks at speed logix were some cool, and sent me just the parts needed to get it setup on this new car.

I've now put ~3k on this car.
If I flogged the snot out of it, 6-9mpg. If I'm pretty gentle on it 18-21. Yeah I almost hit 22mpg on a road trip yesterday.
The tires are clearly undersized. I'm not sure that 300s would fix the tq problem.
Overall, the ride is very nice. The shifter nice. The motor insane. The brakes wonderful. The suspension keeps catching me by surprise. Unlike my last SRT this one remains settled on rough roads, unless in track mode. Not sure why the hellcat hate but some. The interior is a place I want to spend time. All the controls easy to use. Can't hate on the cooled seats on a hot day either.
I get a lot of looks, it's probably my goofy smile while driving. My neighbor even says it sounds b!itchen and she must be touching 80. Ha!
I know I'm on a Honda forum but I remain impressed with the dodge products. We're off in a few weeks to get a GT350R. So maybe I'll be equally impressed with Ford too.
When will the Japanese make something I want to buy again?

I looked long and hard at the GC SRT. That's a kick ass SUV. Love everything about it.

Not sure how I missed this, nice pick-up!! Gotta say I like the looks of the Challenger most out of the three current muscle cars.
Hey, that's better than I typically get with my M3. And I have less than half the torque!

GT350R + Hellcat = best of both worlds: brute power with okay handling and then good power with excellent handling. Or you could just buy a Camaro ZL1 and get them both in one package....
