Back in a Charger

[HemiLonestar]

So some of you may remember the unfortunate fate of my 06 R/T a year ago last month: https://www.ramforum.com/threads/bye-bye-charger.124789/
Since I completely redid the interior and changed a bunch of stuff in the Ram and was driving the Magnum while stripping the old Charger's carcass. Well the Magnum is finally succumbing to age and years of previous owner neglect so it's time to take her off the road for a while and fix stuff and start transferring the rest of the goodies from the old Charger to the wagon. In the meantime, as fun as my truck is to drive it's HORRIBLE on gas lol, so I looked around and found this local, 2012 SRT for a good price. Figured a 6.4 w/MDS will still get better mileage than my truck. It's a win-win either way, I keep it for a while and trade it in on a hellcat (almost bought one of those but couldn't justify it financially right now) or the baltimorons wreck it for me and I have more SRT parts and a 392 to transplant lol. I'll get better pics later.

If you want to upgrade it to a hellcat any time soon, let me know. I may know the sales manager of the largest dealership in the Baltimore area.


Hint: it’s me

I've been patiently waiting for used ones to fall into the $40k's (they're there now) but this was better for me money wise ($25k) right now. Figure by the time I'm ready to trade in Redeyes will have dropped (fingers crossed lol).

Noticed this and decided to do a little update. This thing is awesome as a roomy naturally aspirated daily driver with almost 500hp (especially with the tune) and STILL gets better mileage than my less powerful Ram lol (gotta love taller gears and MDS). Honestly the only thing that would make this better is an 8HP70, which if I decide to keep it instead of trading it I might do. Haven't done all that much other than put better tires on, intake, catch can and put in some LED fogs I got a deal on that match the projectors so much better. Been busy but there's a Magnaflow catback waiting to go in as well as 6 piston Brembos.
