Hey guys,

Just picked up an 07 GC SRT8 and was wondering if anyone else is in the area. I am in the Media area. A bunch of car guys from another forum do a meet on Saturday mornings in Chadds Ford, but its mostly European and German cars. Anyone around the area?

I'm right across the Ben Franklin from Philly, Sewell area of south jersey. Media is a bit of a hike from me, but not too bad. I drive out there for part of the GPL paintball tournament series.

Damn, you are close. I would love to see your truck sometime, with all the mods you have. We have a great meet right near you at Starbucks on 202, Saturday mornings at 8am.

I live about 15 minutes or less from West Chester. I am always on 100 towards West Chester in my Turbo on the twisties!

I have a friend who has a Black SRT8, so I couldn't get a black one too!

Brubaker out in Lancaster. I am driving up after work on Tuesday to pick it up and drop off my trade in. I want to do exhaust, and intake asap. Maybe even programmer if it makes a difference. Who do you have do your work in the area?

There is a place on 452 by 95 and they seem to work on a lot of SRT cars and Mustangs. They installed the exhaust on my Porsche. I was going to stop there and see what type of go fast goodies they have.

Shoot me an email if you can give me any info or tips, since I am new to this game!

Was wondering where this starbucks is? trying to get people together on the 26th. Start in philly- or near and meat at the starbucks then cruise to a lunch spot either in PA or NJ. Let me know if anyone is up for it.

We are all actually meeting on the 26th and heading up to Hershey for the huge Porsche swap meet. There are a lot of cars going up, not all Porsches either. If any of you are interested let me know.

The following Saturday may work for those plans. The Starbucks is located on rt 202 about 2 miles north of rt 1.

We are meeting in KOP Saturday morning around 8am and then heading up to Hershey from there. Arriving in Hershey by about 9:30 I would think. Its a great group of guys that are going up, and from talking to 2Badgn, I need to hear your exhaust! :)
So, at some point I would like to get together because an exhaust is the first mod on my list. Shoot me an email for any more info.

The Porsche Swap meet in Hershey is billed as the largest Porsche meet in the country. There is supposed to be a visitor parking lot and then a Porsche vistor parking lot. Then there is supposed to be hundreds and hundreds of vendors selling Porsche related products and memorbelia. I have never been there, and don't know what to expect. A bunch of car guys from the other forum I post on are all going up, and it will be a great time. Porsche owner, Jeep owner, Ferrari owner..... any car enthusiast will have a good time I am sure.
Even if any of you guys just want to do the drive, we only plan to stay a little while. Its all about the drive. Wish I could take my truck and car!

Can't wait to pick up my truck tomorrow night!

Longtime lurker here, first time poster.

I am in West Chester as well. Perhaps you've seen me, in either my Ram dually, or the Superbee.

I NEVER see SRT8 Jeeps around here - or any SRTs, for that matter. My neighbor had a 300 SRT, which he got rid of for - get this - a 5.7 GTO.

There are usually SRT meet and greets going on - check on Chargerforums and LX Forums - usually something going on. Plus, this is now show season. I am also very active in my diesel truck club, so that takes time as well.

I know the P-car guys meet at Starbucks down on 202 in Glen Eagle on Saturdays, but I am usually at the gym that time on Saturday mornings. Anyway, if you see me driving around, give a shout out.

Hey Scott, you should try and stop at Starbucks one of these Saturdays. Its a great group of guys....with all different types of cars, not just P-Cars.

We do a lot of different stuff, from going out to dinner, hands on car modding, detail days, etc.

Sounds great guys. So, anyone who wants to meet up in King of Prussia for the run to Hershey Saturday morning, I think the time is 8am. I will confirm in the next day or so.

And, for the usually weekly meet we have, its at Starbucks on RT 202 about 2 miles north of route 1 in Chadds Ford. As the weather gets warmer we usually have between 8 and 25 cars, of all different makes and models. It usually starts around 8am and goes until 9:30 or so.

Spent the first 5 years of my life in Upper Merion (Wayne address), then moved to Lower Merion (Gladwyne) where my mother still is, the moved back to Upper Merion (King of Prussia) in my mid 20s, and have now lived in West Chester for almost 13 years. I also work in Devon.

So, I have lived and worked my whole life on the Main Line.

Wayne was on Forest Road, off of Weadley (connects with Croton and Brookwood). Bob White Farms, it was called back in the day....but it is Upper Merion Township. We moved from there in 1969 over to Monk Road in Gladwyne, where my mother still is.

I posted a thread so check it out but the main reason I am writing now is that I dont see to many SRT8 period. But on my way to work this morning I passed a black CSRT all tinted up. And being that my MSRT is black we both found ourselfs first riding side by side. The CSRT with PA tags showed his respect and let me lead so. We had alittle fun this morning on I-95 in Phila, PA from N.E east to the Navy Yard. :)

Anyway I hope you guys check out the link and really hope to see some of you on May the 4th.

you should be able to make it to KOP in less than 2 hours. Hershey would be farther... I come past KOP on my way home from Berlin sometimes and It's not much over an hour.

It was a crazy time. SO many cool cars. Finally got my ass handed to me on the highway. Took a seriously modded 997TT. And we also got to run with a 2007 Z06 that was supercharged and had an insane exhaust. Great day had by all.....and best of all, no speeding tickets.

Just throwing out the invite....this Saturday morning at 8am we will have our usual cars and coffee at Starbucks in Chadds Ford. Its located on Rt 202 about 2 miles north of Rt 1. If anyone is interested, its a great group of guys that usually attend. It will be the first time I am showing up in the SRT8, and it would be cool if some of you local guys could come out.
