I only have about 1600 miles on my Challenger, but have already noticed a huge problem. How the heck do you get this car up beyond about 50% of its power? I mean, at 70 mph in 6th gear, it is turning around 1600 rpm. You can't even get it into 6th until at least 60, and that is pushing it. This car wants to RUN. Putting it in third when merging onto a bypass, give it half throttle, and you are running over whatever is in front of you in seconds. Plus, my car is Hemi Orange, so I know that if I speed, even a little, the police will nail me since they could spot me in a line of traffic from Jupiter. The SRT guys must just go insane....
I guess I need to find some track time somewhere. I feel like I am doing an injustice to this car by keeping the leash so tight on it. I am not really into drag racing (although I do enjoy the adrenaline rush), but would love to go out and run this car through the gears like it begs to be driven. Anyone know of some track opportunities near SouthEast PA? I am about 25 minutes from Maple Grove Raceway, so I'll be heading there soon for the drag racing action, but would love some road racing track tips.
