I'm not going anywhere!! Mopar is in my blood. We are working on your next ride....My folks had a duster...it was pea soup green and smelled funny but my dad loved it. Couldn't kill that slant 6!

Ralph, you may not remember me but we met a couple years ago at the first LX meet at Chrysler HQ in Irvine, I was the one asking you all those "future product " questions that you were nice enough to answer for me, hehe (jk!!). Seriously though, just wanted to say hello and that meeting and chatting with you was in and of itself worth the thousand+ mile trip!

We felt it, too, the first time each of us got to drive the new Challenger, and some of us weren't even born when the original came out.

Hi and thanks for doing this. It is really appreciated by the entire SRT community.

I'm from the caliberforums as well and we have another question.

Again thank you and keep up the great work!

2.) Find the guy that said "We should make it to where the center console lid will slide forward to accomodate people with different length arms who rest their elbow on it" and give them a pat on the back and a thank you from the customers (at least this one). It's funny how these slight little things get overlooked but this was the only complaint I had when I first got the car. I literally said "Man I wish they would have made this lid slide forward" only to find when I did a good detail on the car that it DID slide forward! This attention to detail is impressive at the very least and well appreciated. (same with the exhaust note but that was to be expected).

You cannot go back on the trans calibration. As to the shifting early, the trans has to shift earlier in lower gears to complete the shift before engine limiter steps in.

Did the strong presence of the Challenger at SEMA give you satifaction in a job more than well done on this project by Chrysler?
