Default Considering a Charger SRT-8 - what to look out for or expect??

Hey guys, I'm a newbie on this site. Looks like a great place to learn a bit about my next car, hopefully a Charger SRT-8.

I've heard bad things about brake rotors scoring and parts being extremely expensive, but I wanted to check with you guys to help separate fact from fiction. What am I getting myslef into by going with a SRT-8 instead of just a regular R/T?

Welcome to this insanity!!

Charger SRT-8 is badddddd! It will run circles around an R/T! Go for it!!!

The '06's have a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that replaces/takes care of the scored rotors.

Anyone know what the fix was for the rotor scoring? Different pads? Different rotors? Something else?

Well, I bought an '07 so problem averted!

I guess this thread is closed.
