I've been seeing the GC SRt everywhere. I need to test drive one and then pick one up.

Alittle lag when you start to beat on it otherwise it is a blast. Great daily that u can beat on like a red headed step child and it asks for more.

I am researching a header system for this beast. I want to hear one with it in person before making that decision. A $1299 system yields 40hp. I don't know about all of you, but that sounds like a steal to me!

I just got the Diablosport Predator and flashed the car for 93 oct tuned. My car now felt strong, responsive and aggressive. Best of all the mileage improved to 12mpg but then again it's a Hemi so who cares.
