    Hi All. I recently purchased my first Mopar product ever, a 2011 SRT8. I am loving it! Was a lifelong Pontiac guy who always had a healthy respect for Mopars.

    Looking forward to learning from the experts and participating! 20180311_124759.jpg

    congrats!! nice ride. low miles I presume, either way it looks great. I was a chevy fan boy for the longest, from the 780's. took me 30 years to get a Mopar, not a old classic but a 2009 none the less and wont get rid of it unless I buy another one,

    Very nice. I had a 69 charger when I was "young n dumb". Wish I had it still. Think I sold it for $800 back in the 70's. Lol
    How times change!

    Welcome to the neighborhood.

    I hope you're as happy with the move to Mopar as I have been.

    I too was a long-time Pony-ack guy ... '73 Formula 350, '77 Trans Am, '93 Grand Prix, '99 Grand Prix GTP, and '05 GTO ... I would have probably have bought a 2011 G8 if Pontiac had still been around. Instead, I held onto the GTO until 2013. That's when I bought a '11 Challenger R/T Classic since my wife and I had been very happy with her '07 Charger R/T and a '13 Charger R/T.

    I tried a trip back to GM with a '16 Chevy SS, but I found that I only "liked" it and didn't "love" it. And ..... I love my '15 Challenger SRT.

    That last generation of 'GTO's' never really did it for me. Looked like a Camry with hood scoops and an LS under the hood. Pontiac IMHO did a lousy job re-badging a Holden Monaro, adding faux scoops (second year) and calling it a GTO. Mopar on the other hand, did a GREAT job of updating a classic muscle car in the Challenger, as did Ford with the Mustang. GM on the other hand, not so much. Not really into the Camaro at all. Never thought I'd say it, but my new credo is Mopar or NO car. lol
