Bugbitten,
Thanks. I kind of have a get out of jail free card. I am a Probation Officer and the badge does wonders when it comes to things like speeding tickets. I am good friends with our local Chief of Police and even challenged her to a race. Her police Charger against mine.

Very sharp ride Scott! 420HP ... sheesh, you'd need a badge to manage all of *those* tickets. Congrats!

Not bad, I would guesstimate...as long as he doesn't 'get on it' all the time. Those V8's are made to run in 4 cylinder mode, till you mash the gas, at which point all 8 cyl's start firing/consuming gas!
Still, I can't imagine it's all that great...those things weigh a few tons...
Still, nice to see...good luck with it.

Thanks guys,
Actually the gas mileage is not bad. I average about 17 around town. On the highway I got about 24 on the one highway trip I have made. With the MDS system that shuts down 4 cylinders when cruising highway mileage is pretty good. That is if I baby it. That is hard to do though. I love to get on it, smoke the tires, slam my head against the seat and go.

420? That isn’t the SRT is it? You mention it has the cylinder deactivation, so I’m assuming it’s got the 5.7 and not the 6.1. So do you know what’s been done to get the power that high? That about 80 over stock isn’t it?
They are sweet cars and with four doors to boot. I’ve been looking at one of them myself. I’d love an SRT, but would probably get 5.7 with AWD so I could use it year round. A friend of mine just bought the SRT version to match his wife’s SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee. Too bad he can’t drive worth a darn. It won’t be long before he raps it around a tree. I’ve driven his and it impressed me.
