Default The more I drive

The more I drive this Avenger R/T, the more I love it. The perfomance is very good, and the brake system is perfect in my opinion. The throtle (sp)responce is great, and it does not take long to get from 55mph to 90mph. The ride is so smooth that when passing another car, I did not relize I had gone from 55 to 90 in no time. I am becoming a believer in this 3.5L V6, and it seems to be the perfect match up for the size and weight of the Advenger. Just thinkif the boy's at SRT kick the power up a notch or two, this carwould be in a class all by itself. Sorry for such bad spelling.

I think these Avenger are going to be hot selling cars for Dodge. I just hope the after market picks up on it, as it would be nice to see a performence chip. Not that the R/T needs it, but it would be fun to have one. I hope FlowMastercomes out with a system soon. It would be nice to hear what these 3.5L HO's sound like with a nice tuned muffler.

Sorry SueK, but I'm not belittling the non R/T's and I know that must be how it comes across after reading my post's. Again sorry about that, I will remember not to keep saying R/T. I've never had this much fun with a car before. Just going through my second childhood I guess.

But as you stated, these are very fun cars to drive around in.

This car IS pretty damn fun to drive, I am very pleased with my R/T AWD.

I traded in my 2004 Dodge SRT-4 and i've never even thought of looking back... I love this car!!!

Not to mention the features, the comfort, everything is A++ so far. It's a shame the Avenger really hasn't caught on like wildfire like the Calibers... people don't know what they're missing.

Oh well... makes our cars more special.

No not at all. I didn't think that at all. I was just saying even with my smaller engine model it's fun for me. I'm going through a second child hood for sure. I love to hear the engine roar past someone.......and I laugh like a little kid to myself lol. Awhile back I used the excuse of "setting the rings" and daughter says " I think the rings are already set by now" I too can't wait for aftermarket parts,I see the same old stuff.

Someone said on another forum about a "Stage 2 module or chip"
