I joined the 5.0 club

[luillo]

Well, the dealer got me and i fall in love with the new 5.0 manual

· Manual 6 speed
· Gt 3.73 Rear end only option
· Sterling grey color
· 18 inch wheels
When i took it for a test drive it felt slow, that was my first impression compared to my 2009, but then i took it to the highway and it was another story. The car pulls very good.

The shift felt a little bit hard to get in gear but it got better after i drove it home, i just needed to get used to.

Other than that the car is very cool to drive and quiet, i will give it at least 1,000 miles breaking then to the track with the race star 15".

Hopefully by next year in February i can find tuners and couple of bolt-on.

awsome, glad you liked it, mine should be here next week hopfully

The dealer gived me until Friday to take all the aftermarket part i have installed on my car then give it to them. I hope all my rear suspension fit well in the 2011.

I look at both cars and is very similar in the back like the LCA and in the front the A-Arms but the K-member i dont think will fit because the assited power steering mount.

Also the radiator support/Sway bar delete looks almost identical except it has an extra to arms that looks like it supports the assited power steering but i will try it anyway.

Does any body look in the upper control arm of the 2011 and see if the later model UCA will fit on these 2011?

Awesome can't wait to see it. I'm sure it'll move out pretty good.

 

[luillo]

Here ya go pics 2011

 

[luillo]

Sorry for the pics and the 2009 for been so dirty but i had no time for cleaning yet. but i will soon.LOL

yeap i got a charger srt8 very exited i had that 5.0 badge in the car and he did a fly by in the street then destiny put us together at the light and let me tell you these car for some reason has a lot more traction than my 2009 with all the suspension on it, so i can't wait to swap all that to the 2011 and see if it improve even more.

when we were in the light he was going to the left but when he saw me i turn right he followed me and tried a failed fly by again these time i knew we were racing and i just let him get to my right side while i was waiting in second gear. i steeped in the gas and shifted into 3 gear jumping ahead of him with just a squick in the tires. that make me feel very good because these car is so smooth to drive it makes me feel slow, but it is not slow at all.

Aside from the tailights, the 11 looks so much better on every panel.

I ordered black just to be able to tint the lights and hide them.

i believe the 2011 has different mounting hardware on the LCAs than the 2010s. may have to ream some holes out
