The black '05 SRT-6 coupe made the trek (all of 27 miles) from Burbank, CA to my shop/home with no drama - except it was so nice not to have to go through the gears when in heavy traffic.

Light traffic: the trip was mostly in light traffic and the speedo was frequently at an indicated 70-78 just keeping up with traffic. Should I assume (stock size tires) the speedo embellishes a great deal? In my '07 Ltd. it would have been 65-70. Can the speedo be tweaked electronically to be considerably more accurate? I'll add that it is fun to have a 200mph, even if it is a 'wee' bit optimistic.

Accelerator pedal: Not a big deal but felt that more pressure was needed than in my '07. '07 has a 6-speed and wondered if the needed pressure was because of the automatic box.

Head-unit: It has an Alpine iDAX200 installed - I assume some years ago. It is not to my liking, since I do like a CD slot - and would much prefer the original SRT-6 unit, especially if the navigation system was/is at least 'reasonably' helpful. I'll add that by far my destinations are to places that were there in at least 2003. Should someone have a pristine one for sale, I also need the CD's, even though they were in the glove-box, since one was badly scratched. I do have the navigation manual.

Comments on either or both would be appreciated. Please comment here.
