    2011 392 IE # 627 has been delivered!
    « on: February 26, 2011 - 01:40:09 AM »
    Got special authority to pick up my car at the railhead today in Council Bluffs, IA. Got it home before the snow started to fly.

    I am 90% sure I want to pull the stripes, time will tell.

    Very nice.  I don't know, I think I'd leave the strips, especially on a white car.  Just my 2cents.   :2thumbs:

     Tough call. I'm used to seeing light colored strips on a darker base. This contrast is kinda different IMO. It is a collector edition though so wheeew... tough call.

     By the way how's that Hemi run in the snow. Any tracton issues? :stirpot:

    Your car, your call, but think about that guy who bought that 70-71 Hemi Cuda/Challenger  that you so admire and then pulled it's stripes off- how do you feel about that? If I did it; I'd also go to the dealer and get a replacement set for the trunk, so that when this limited production car goes over the block at B-J one day, it'll be right.  :2cents:

    Being that it's an inaugural edtition, I would not touch the stripes.  :2cents:

    Did they have a stripe delete option?  :clueless:

    I think the inaugural edition cars are cool cars but IMO (I'll get crap for this...) the color scheme they chose I wish was different.  Those colors remind me too much of the Shelby Mustangs and the stripes add to the Shelby feel.  :2cents:

    Its your money, your car enjoy it. Drive it.
    Life is to short to squabble over small things. Live today like there is no tomorrow.
    Enjoy your ride, you worked for it. Keep the stripe. Add some thing to the sides, get those after market bill boards..That would be different.

    Thanks for the nice comments everyone. The 392 is a beast. I have not had a ton of time behind the wheel as I have been away and the weather sucks here, but every mile I drive I love this thing more and more.

    A little extra just for fun......
