Hello,

I'm officially a newbie! Are you kidding me??? Somebody wake me up . . . I must be dreaming! The horsepower gods just looked down on me and provided the perfect vehicle. It looks mean, sounds even meaner, beats my buddy's M3 like a rented mule, and it's an S-U-V!
Just picked up my black GCSRT8 yesterday and all I can say is this thing is utterly AMAZING! This jeep wants to jump out of it's own skin! The power & handling are incredible. I have been lurking & learning here for awhile, so thanks in advance for all the great info. I'm getting out of a '04 Touareg V8. It has 310HP, but is heavy as hell. It's like going from a Yugo to a dragster! My beauty is black, and has every available option . . . even the engine block heater(like I'll need that in CA!). I'll be asking plenty of questions soon as I will be moving towards blackout looks and performance mods as soon as I can do the research. All smiles . . . this thing is a BEAST!

Any help in the following areas will be greatly appreciated. I'll read every post!


Early, obvious mods(clear bra, 104/107 stat, billet stuff this week)
Visual mods(link to tinted lenses/black SRT8 trim?)
Performance mods(considering BBex, Kooks, heads, and a CAI. Chip?)
Cool mods(just b/c they make the experience better!(lights, tent, ??)


Looking forward to getting into the community.

Cheers,

Bryan

I guess I'll be the first to welcome you man.
Hey, post some pics of the beast please, and don't be shy to give us a more detailed account of your race with the M3.
Congrats!!!

A couple of easy visual mods that a bunch of guys have done are the billet antenna (from rm360) and the billet shiftknob.
I lined up a group buy on the knobs and they only cost $100 instead of $125.

Welcome ... and Welcome to me too.. a new owner of an 07 Silver!!!
hahaha

also.... stay away from the B&B. Do a search. I use to sell the systems and they are HORRIBLE in quality of welds and the customer service is non-existant!!!

I love it too! Glad I could help you guys out.
Thanks to everyone on this site that has taught me so much, not only about the SRT8, but other cars as well!

Someone needs to make an FAQ page and keep it stickied on the top.

I guess I'll get the ball rolling with a new thread...
