Happily purchasing my SRT brand new and paying 37K in 05, (as an old adult), my intent has been to thrash it and put "BS" on it to make it more fun to thrash. Prancing around in a pretty, pseudo sports car hoping to be seen doesn't entertain me...but I don't hold it against the crowd that enjoys this lifestyle.
Unfortunetly the NA cars really need some HP to support the sports car image that is so coveted and rubbed by a lint free cloth by some...Can't we all just be happy? Now where is my hammer and can of gray primer...
But back to the hijaked posting...
Suggest springing for the tune, and add a data logger to make sure you don't fry the pistons. It's either pay a little now, or a lot later. Several people here have N2O NA's and will be able to point you in the right direction..
WELL SAID!
I personally love these cars but think they were hurt by being priced way too high to be called a Chrysler and if you have to pay this much for a Chrysler then it better really perform. Performace wise they really didn't do anything outstanding. I love the build quality and looks and have set out to rebuild my car the way I think it should have come from the factory. I personally believe the SRT will be a very valuable classic in the future and that is why I didn't buy one (yet). If I had I bought an SRT I would have felt compelled to keep it all original. Since I wanted to really thrash one of these cars I picked 2004. Now who wants to come help me yank that anemic V6 out of my engine bay?
