Next up...The intercoolers. Love the all wheel drive and the fact that things just don't break so easy on this car.

Great platform for crazy speed and year long driver! Have you upgraded turbos yet?

I used to track my M3 back a few years ago at Willow Springs.

Thank you... Yes, it's an '09. I picked it up a few months ago with 5k miles on it.

Please tell me you drive the 997 yr round

Neg... Only the nicer days and never in the snow. Sorry to disappoint.

Mosesbotbol: Can't say there's a better sounding car out there than the Maserati. It really sings with the likes of Ferrari and Lambo. My P car sounds like a box of marbles, but it goes like a raped ape.

I am all signed up for the SRT Track experience at Englishtown Raceway.
I figure if I'm going to head out on the track for the first time, might as well do it in one of Chrysler's cars instead of mine.

I'm a little hesitant to get completely into this, as so far it's been just as expensive, if not more expensive than cigars.
Would like to take my car down the strip once, just to see what she posts.
Also would like a tune, but none are available yet.

What car do you own that there's no tune for? Now days they can tune a blender 3 days before it is unveiled.

I have a 2012 Challenger SRT.
The PCM in the car is locked with rolling encryption, and has yet to be cracked.

WOW... I just finished reading up on it. A lot of MOPAR guys are petitioning it on line. A good friend of mine is a tuner but doesn't touch MOPAR at this time. Guess you might have to swap out the pcm for an older model one if that works.

Yeah, not worth it for me right now.
I've read up on it, not just a PCM swap.
Apparently you have to have a custom wiring harness built as well, since the 2010 PCM will not physically fit into the 2011-2012 cars.
Will just keep my fingers crossed.
There are some reports that Mopar will release it's own canned tune.
That honestly would be fine with me.
I just want the engine to wake up a bit.

Have you heard Mopar has licensed two manufactures to offer a tune for 2011 and later HEMI cars? This came out at the SEMA show. I believe Diablosport claims to have cracked the code as well.

First Cruise night of the season in Hookset, NH this Saturday. I can't wait!!!!

Why would they do that? If the ECU could be altered, Mopar could offer add-on performance parts and even supply different mappings for a cost. As long as the program is submitted to Dodge they can OK it for warranty purposes. Bucking the consumer on a halo car like Challenger SRT makes no sense to me.

I just got rid of my ecu on my turbo s2000...went standalone aem ems....if your in nj then you can get away with it as emissions is pretty lax compared with ny and ct!

Wow, that must've been a fast car. I had an '03 S2000 as my daily driver for 4 years. Suzuka blue. Miss that car, but my back does not.

The Forester Turbo definately had the better power. I just felt that outback didn't have the power that it needed for the size car. That being said it was a great driving car. drove smooth and ver responsive.

I drive an '03 Forrester during the winter and owned an '02 WRX wagon and '01 Legacy GT wagon. I love how easy they are to get in and out of.

Why did you go turbo over supercharger? Seems like superchargers are more popular with S2000 crowd. Engine bay looks like a lot is going on!

My buddy also has a GTR and is a GTR tuner (for just about all of them in MA) and I can't imagine a car getting much faster than that. Truly amazing machine in terms of speed and technology. Maybe not the best looking car, but most will only see the back of it! His boss GTR is around 1000 hp I believe and I went for a ride in that once.
