New here, tell me I did the right thing!

I just traded my beloved 2004 M3 in on a new black GC SRT8. Just needed something more practical (but hopefully close to as much fun to drive).

Looking forward to hanging out with you folks in the future.

Nothing can compare to beating an M3 with an SUV. Welcome to the board!

if you like speed...you wont regret it.

Torque is a many splendored thing.

:p

ABSOLUTELY:D

So are there any software updates, or any other things I should get the dealer to look at before I pick it up on Thursday?

Alex

Congrats and Welcome!

Alex.....welcome man. When I got my GC last January, faced the same choice. Finally said the Hell with it, kept the M also. As you get used to the "brick" you will find it is as much fun to drive. Can't throw it around as much as the M with DSC off, (no drifting etc.) and a completely different feel through the power band, BUT this puppy will rock your world on a daily basis.

I've never tired of driving either of them. Got about 31k on the M, and already 24k on the Jeep. You can learn some good stuff here from a great bunch of guys.

Consider myself one of the lucky ones.....Have not had a problem with either one of them. Good luck with yours, any question, search, or just ask away.

I sold my S4 (M3 eater) before I got the Jeep. Loved my car and had some sellers remorse until the Jeep arrived. Your M3 is a great vehicle, but change is great. No regrets. Maybe you will come across the new owner of your old car and have some fun at a light.

Welcome.

Alex - there is no doubt this is a special vehicle

As Teda Said "this puppy will rock your world on a daily basis."

That is true. It's just as much fun in the wet and snow!

Just watch out for Radar:D

The SRT-8 also replaced my 04 M3, no regrets.......just as fun but in a different way.

And the Jeep get's more looks.

Think he will be very happy,

If you do that will the front drive shafts still spin with the wheels,, but no power to them? Is that ok to do? Cause it sounds fun...:D

Thanks for all the encouraging words.

Assuming that fedex was able to fly out of San Antonio last night, my lender's check should reach me today, so I may be picking it up tonight. :D

Alex

So far none, but it's only been a day. ;)

I SMOKED a M3 with a stock SRT Jeep at light after light this summer.

You not only got more utility with the SRT,
you got more performance too!

Congtrats.

I briefly sat in a Jeep SRT8 and (compared to the M3) in the lowest setting the seating position seemed high. Did you find that to be a problem when switching from the M3

It is a bit higher, but the seating position is just plain different. The seat itself is surprisingly supportive, although at this point I think the M3 seat fit me a little better. That may change with time.

With the adjustable pedals, I've been able to find a position in the GC that I'm comfortable with. Now if only it had a telescoping wheel....

The GC SRT8 and the M3 are completely different. This beast is a blast to drive in different ways then the M3 was, but I've had a silly grin on my face all day long. So far, I'm very happy with my decision.

Alex

good to hear. and we can always use more pics of black SRT8's since this is everyone's favorite colour...;)
