    Agree, Awesome!  No other word covers it.  How is the ride around 140+?  The last time I was in a Mopar going that fast things got creepy smooth around 140-150 mph, like we were riding on air more than pavement at that point.  Is it as bumpy as the camera makes it look?  If your taking orders, I'd love to see a video of your car out on some kind of wide-open road course.  The sound of a built Mopar going up & down through the gears is unbeatable!

    Thanks again, Jim

    ...How is the ride around 140+?...

    Very stable; MAS spoiler keeps nose down and all the suspension upgrades keep it in a straight line (check the steering wheel at those speeds).

    Yep it is, because of these upgrades; good handling and a soft ride don't mix.

    I would love to do that once, this car is built for that  ;)
    But if you love to hear lotsa gear changes, check these videos I made this summer in the Alps:

    hey Roland,
    that `s wicked  :ylsuper:   just wondered how many RPM`s when the needle is buried...?    :woohoo:
    I`d love to see the same vid with the mic set up in the trunk, like you did in the other video. Loved the sound of that one  :drool:

    I checked the source video and made some adjustments and it looks like it's a bit above 6000rpm, very hard to see.
    I believe my MSD is limited to 6600rpm.

    The sound recording remains a quest. Outside is too loud and too high, inside trunk is too low, inside car is too soft..

    PaleRider,
    Would you mind posting some more details about your car? In the beginning of the vid, I saw an air cleaner that looked like a six pack air cleaner - does that mean you have a six pack set up? Also what gear ratio are you using in the rear end? It must be a pretty high gear (maybe 2.94?) to let you cruise at Autobahn speeds. I heard your pistol grip shifter buzzing some at higher speeds. I know that noise well. I have a pistol grip in my Challenger and it starts buzzing at certain rpm's. Please post more info on your car. I'm sure that others here would be interested too.

    Really killer videos!

    Thanks for the specs. I was expecting to see some mega buck custom suspension and brakes.
    It is nice to see that with some good parts the Challenger can handle really well.
    Gives me hope with mine.
