If so have you had any issues? I still haven't put mine in yet, just want to sniff around, see if there have been any problems before I do.

There have been no changes to the driveline of the Jeep '06-'10 so you should be fine with any mods that you want to do.
Good Luck!

I've heard the tuning on the newer SRT8s were more precise. The hardware is the same but I believe there were some changes as far as the stock computer.

I don't know if you are right or wrong. I was about to post a question to Owners of the 2010 GCSRT8s that have owned other, 06 to 09, GCSRT8s. I feel that my 2010 GCSRT8 is much faster than my 2008 was and because of this I haven't installed a 180 Tstat or a Predator Tune, I don't want to change anything. My 2010 is a Beast coming out of the hole, oops, better change that to off of the Line.

I haven't used the evic yet, or have I been to the Track with it. I base my feelings on results with raceing the Kids in the area. They have the Rice Burners, Evo's, Tricked out Civics etc. Before I could Hold My Own with them now I can More Than Hold My Own with them. Would you say the evic is any kind of accurate?

No doubt the 2010s are quicker and more nimble... my 2009 was turning into a dog, heavy steering, driveline shutter and that's why I traded it - simply bad karma. The 2009 key fobs are even heavier than the fobs shipped with the 2010s... lightweight super stock key fobs, just like the factory did in 1963-64.

The 2010 will be the most sought after Jeep SRT8.. and will hold its value beyond any SRT brand.

and if you ordered silver that's even better.. :D

2010 are quicker than other yrs of the srt-8 jeeps? Well not from what i have seen bone stock there slower than my 07 was. In the 1/8 mile the fastest 1 i seen went 8.60s and bone stock 1st time out i went 8.39 and the da was lower when the 2010 ran. The 2010 are lighter my about 50 lbs and race wt im no light weight lol. Im looking forward to see a 2010 with 2 mods like mine just to see if there faster.
