    Taking the decals off in two weeks and painting on the exact same design in the same color red as my caliper covers, with a 1/4 inch black pinstripe. I think it’s going to pop a little more. Also adding Mopar hood pins and new wheels and tires. 315/35/20s on the rear and 275/40/20s in front. I will post pics when she’s finished. Here’s a bad mock up of what the stripes will look like.

    That will look wicked with the red caliper covers. Just curious, did you ever try a mock up of your existing black stripes with a red pinstripe outline? Might not be enough red for what you're looking for

    I wouldn't spend that kind of money unless doing legit drag racing or autocrossing. There's only so much power you can use on the street. I can do some pretty good smoky burnouts with my 5.8L R/T Plus. My 0-60 times from suburban traffic lights have impressed more than just one law enforcement officer. Just saying.....

    I didn’t, but I thought red with a black border would look better than black with a red border. I’m ok with it being a bit gaudy.

    Just would prefer an option or anything that will help get power to ground without breaking loose like Redeye and Hellcat does. Also if it contributes to a more stable comfortable ride even more so.

    I found out my insurance rate is the same for an SPWB vs. regular body R/T 392 SP.

    I was going to order a 2021 but it didn't go through so next one will be 2022 model.

    This micro chip problem along with greedy dealerships didn't help the situation in 2021. But you can bet your pink slip I will be doing a factory order in 2022 or the last year for sure for the Challenger 2023 model.
