6G Celicas Forums

I got a good deal yesterday on a 2011 SRT8 392 HEMI. Thing pulls hard. I'm in the process of trying to get my celica fixed and selling that for a primary driver since I traded my tacoma in to get my horse power. I'm loving it unfortunately by the time I got home and did my chores it started raining so I can't take some pictures of the car. I have one from first thing this morning that I'll show. It's also fully loaded. Hopefully I can get a few more up.

I read the title at first as "I regret buying a domestic vehicle," not "I'm sorry I've betrayed Toyota. " Nice pickup! Enjoy the power and the RWD!

Aside from the abysmal colour, good acquisition. As long as it's a manual, I guess I could live with it.

I only drive boats on the water.

@ 'Berto and Ferdi

I don't like the color that much but congratulations on your purchase! I hope it takes care of you (and you it).

You don't drive boats, you navigate them. GAWD.

Still, if it's like the other modern muscle cars the handling won't be the best in the world. But it makes an awesome rumble and can melt the rear tires off, and that's what really matters at the end of the day. Besides I know Eibach makes a coil-over kit for the Camaro, not sure what's available for the Challenger though.

I've been looking at Hotchkis but I've bought it for the power and straight line. The thing has way too much weight for corners. I'm loving it for what it is. I'll be buying my replace daily driver next before anything happens to the challenger.

Considering it weighs 4,170 pounds, I'd imagine so. But it has 470hp naturally aspirated, so it's all good. Don't feel too bad though, I like import cars and all(obviously) but my heart is with American muscle. Looked and Eibach does make a coil-over setup for the Challenger, along with lowering springs. Also make some sway bars for it. Personally between the Challenger, Camaro, and Mustang I think the Challenger looks the best. Just preferably in Plum Crazy or black.

How dare you call me Ferdi.

LOL, sorry Matt. Saw the sig and immediately assumed you were Swiss.

2 words....Edelbrock E-force....my boss has a 06 SRT 300C with an E-force under the hood, nothing else done really (no exhaust, intake it comes with, morroso air/oil seperator and catch tanks)...hes making around 610WHP.


And only other mods he has is plasti-dipped wheels, spoiler and emblems, and some S63 (i think) AMG 12 Piston calipers up front (apparently they bolt up after you mill down the 2 mounting bolts)

The chryslers are awesome platforms now...only thing is, you kinda screwed your self with getting a 2011....no tuning company has cracked the 2011 computers yet...

But nice car dude!

Not hating the car or anything but does it glow in the dark

Slight sig troll backfire

I'm hoping by the time I want to do any upgrades the code will be cracked. I just got such a killer deal on this one I couldn't pass it up. I won't find that car with it's mileage for the price again. It's fine though because I was really looking at buying a R/T so I have the brembo brakes and almost 100 more horse power going with the SRT8.

Very nice ,seen a few floating arround the UK..

All I can tell is that you're a cheap attention whore.....lime green is like.....i dunno screaming for cheap slutty attention


congrats on the purchase bud! Hope you enjoy it.

How dare you call him Ferdi.

As for the Challenger, why not a Mustang? So much more sex than these, I'm sorry, it is a god-damn land yacht. I'd take the pony, solid rear and all. Nice color, though.

Mustangs have sucked ever since the second generation, they're just now getting decent again here recently(2011-present). Hell up until 2010 the V8 Mustang only made 315hp with the V6 making 210hp. I was looking and according to the steering and suspension specs they now have a multi-link rear suspension.

Mustang got good in 2013 :facepalm:
