I drove 200 plus miles today to tade my 05 limited for a blue srt6. All i can say is wow there is a night and day difference in power. On the way home on I74 a newer mustang pulled up in the passing lane and reved it's engine and started to pull away. That is when i floored it and pulled away for the mustang. after looking at it in the review mirror i glanced the speedometer and ws doing tad over 140 mph.

 

Congrats on your new SRT purchase. Nothing can compare. You have already had a great time on the way home. Enjoy!

 

Nice kill. (I am trying to ignore the 140 on public roads thing. )

 

A real kick in the seat is it not!!!!
Welcome to the forum.
ENJOY your new toy, better then a women.

Congrats and goog luck...

 

Almost exactly how I broke mine in, congrats and welcome to the family.

 

Congrats on the SRT-6, and if you think it's fast now, add an intake, pulley & software and see what happens.

 

Reminds me of the first day I picked up my car in Sacramento and was following at a respectable distance a Mustang convertible in the fast lane for about 10 minutes doing 65 to 70 mph. Not really paying attention and just enjoying the car and looking around at the controls and whatnot. Traffic disappeared and the Mustang moved over to the slow lane and I was about to follow when all I saw was clear road ahead with NO cars, no overpass, nothing! Without even thinking and without any provocation from the Mustang I floored it just to see what she can do and the last thing I saw was 130mph on the speedo. I wanted to keep my foot down but in the back of my head I was thinking this is a car I know nothing about (are the tires properly inflated, does it have any handling problems, etc) I coasted down to 70mph all the way home and right at that moment I fell in love with this car.

 

Hi, another new owner here, well sort of. I purchased a SRT6 roadster two days ago to replace the wife's 77 corvette. I picked the SRT because it is mostly a MB and the price was low compared to a first gen SLK. I was impressed with the looks of the car, and it sure is fast for the money. I drive a leased SLK 280 and will have to trade up for an SLK55 next May when the lease is over. (Can't have the wife's car driving away from me as quick as it would now). The bad part of all this (for the wife) is, winter and snow are right around the corner here in BC, so I bought the car, she drove it once and then I put it into storage until April.

I have read alot on this site abount the ic pump, should I replace it now or wait to see if it fails? I have no plans to modify the car as it's the wife's car so only looking to keep it running nicely for her.

 

WELCOME! Time to start changing pulleys ETC.

 

About a year and half ago I did the same thing. I traded my 06 limited for a SRT and I had the same WOW feeling. I couldn't freakin believe it.

Congrats on the SRT and enjoy watching your rear view mirror.

 

Welcome and congrats on the SRT. Wonderful cars they are!
