Roll Tide! I just bought a 14 R/T about 3 weeks ago and am very pleased to be a Challenger owner. I'm coming from the GTO world, former owner of a 2004 GTO. Stickers 1 was a h/c/i/e/sprayed 5.7L 6 speed. My new ride is a 5.7 6 speed, intake, cat back and tune. For now. Like the original Stickers, Stickers 2 will end up putting 500 or so to the ground. I look forward to building a hemi and learning from all the knowledgeable folks here. My last hemi was my wife's 06 Magnum RT AWD. I wasn't allowed to touch that.
Welcome to the neighborhood! I had a 2005 GTO (Midnight Blue Metallic, Auto 4 tranny) that I owned from new till December 2013 when I bought a 2011 Challenger R/T Classic. You'll certainly find that it's a lot easier to refuel your Challenger than it was to get gas into the GTO. There are certainly a few LS traits in the Hemi. Especially the non-MDS version like your 6-speed. Go Gators!
I like the trunk space in the Challenger, too. I can put my rifle in the trunk whereas in the Goat I couldn't carry anything bigger than a shoebox. Or so it seemed. I'm interested in doing a hemi build, especially a VVT cam install.
Congrats! I look forward to seeing what you do with this one. Lets see some pics of the new ride and the GTO Let us know if we can help with any mods or maintenance items. we offer just about everything and discounts on pretty much all of it
