Black has always been my favourite colour, although the silver ones ive seen really makes the car really stand out in a crowd, i perfer the back for the sleek look. My parents have a black R/T charger that ive done some goodies on (smoke black tint, black tail light covers, black chrome srt-8 rims) and i really like that semi-blacked out mafia look
Now i had originaly wanted the roadster, but with the limited trunk space for a sub system and golf clubs, i had to go the coupe route.

Ill tell ya guys this, i am planning on being a long time fourm member, thats for sure! Ive got soo many ideals and designs floating around in my head, i cant wait to get the car and start modding (within reason lol ), I am a mechanical design engineer, slowly tryin to work my way up the bizz, but my real crazy passion is building customized golf carts (its kinda a small side buissness), and over the years slowly saved up and built up my shop arsenal with tools. Right now one of my projects on the go is a birdgeport kee mill cnc conversion with 4th axis rotary table. This will hopefully be one of my special machines that will help make any custom mount, gadget or part i can think of for my car. Hopefully
Because these cars were pretty low production, theres really a lack of specialty parts and such in the automotive aftermarket world.
One ideal i kinda had floating around, thought i would share was a new complete low profile intake manifold that would allow you to use a more efficent root/screw supercharger, then being stuck with the standard MB SC. A larger/more efficent SC would allow you to keep lower intake temps while allowing you to reach higher levels of boost!
I just need a spare engine so i can get the mount locations and geometry proper, then do some flow testing in CAD software... My mind can really wander around when i have too much free time. lol
