Also about the oil changes; I guess I don't understand; my mechanic is one that works at a tire and auto place locally. I've been going there for years and he works on all makes and model cars.. He's no expert by any stretch, just your average hard-working Joe trying to make a living. The nice thing about him though is that he always let me bring my own oil and filter. I guess what I'm getting at is, what's so different about the SRT that a guy like my mechanic wouldn't be up to the task? I no shade-tree mechanic so doing it myself really isn't much of an option (remember I'm an IT guy, computers and electronics are my thing).
It is great and refreshing to see such an enthusiastic community!
Thanks again!

the issue for the oil change isnt diffucult to grasp. 8.5 qts of mobil 1 oil so say 9 at 7$ is 63$ then 15$ for a mann fleece filter total 78$. most dealerships run 80 to 90 $ per hr say 1 hr to do the oil change now your looking at 160$ on the low side. do it your self and save a c note. its a bonding experience with your car. most dealerships will use a topside drain you are also paying for their shop equipment.
as long as your looking at the srt-6 take a gander at mine the original s/c 3.2 mercedes version. hardtop and topless in the same car!
