I live in Savannah, GA, just purchased a nice loaded 06 black SRT in PA. I am looking forward to that 11-12 hour drive! :) Came out to 42,700 out the door. Not bad I hope for all options...

I just hope I can manage not getting too crazy with it conisidering only 100 miles on her. I fly from Savannah Sat. morning and arrive in Phili around 11:50. From there a 1 hour drive to dealer, then a happy 10 hour drive back to Savannah! Woohoo! :D

I am positive I will like black. I had a black on black C5 Vert (link (http://www.politically-e.com/badazzvette/)), I now have a black Infiniti G35 coupe. So it would only be natural to go with a black SRT8! :D

its a hoot. I ll tell you, no matter how many time I am in the Jeep, I just get this stupid grin when I fire it up and say "Man, I love this thing."

I was messing with a kawasaki ninja this AM, we were doing 140- around cars. I dont recommend anyone do that, but my hands are still shaking from the adrenaline rush:cool:

First off let me say I am extemely happy with initial impressions of this car!

I flew to Phili yesterday and managed an 11 hour drive back. I don't think there are many cars I can do that with, but it was a very nice ride. The hardest part was not going full throttle as I only had 120 miles on her from the start. I did try to break in as best as possible by stopping frequently and varying throttle so I hope all is well.

Am I crazy if I already ordered a GS Motorsports intake before I signed the papers! :)

I look forward to getting to know everyone here!

Thats a better price then I paid. Where in Philly did you get it Hanna Barberra Dodge, Jeep? I live in Tampa now but lived in Philly Pa my whole 33 years. Good luck

I picked up my red SRT8 (fully loaded) 3 weeks ago. The car is a beast!!

I looked for weeks..trying to get EP deal, finally found a small dealership in Buffalo Grove, IL that was willing to sell one for the right price BUT of course it was too good to be true. They guy told me that they just sold their last SRT8 but he'll call around to get one. A week pass by with no news, my Range Rover (POS - the most breakable car in the world) started to fall a part on me AGAIN. I started calling this guy every day to bug him!! Finally, a week later, the guy calls all excited!! He called out of the area and found ONE dealership in Michigan (close to the 8 Mile-ghetto) willing to give it away. He personally drove from Chicago to Detroit to pick up the car!!! Since he gave me a good value on Ranger Rover, I bought SRT8 for $42.5 fully loaded. I am pretty sure that he still made a nice profit

Pottstown, PA. Norco Auto Group. Great guys and would definately recommend them to anyone. They even called me on my way back home to check on me.
