My dealer has one, blue with white stripes, but it is an auto trans.

One just burned up on the assembly line earlier this week.

Jay Leno has the first SRT8 6.1L. He recently drove the 392 and said it is a better all around driving car!! Better engine, and suspension then the older SRT8's.

How do I post photos? Cause I got a few of em, haha.

Mine is the blue with white stripes, its #182 out of the 392 Canadian made ones. It has a total of 700 km's on it so far (I got it last Saturday).

The fastest I've got it to? 237 km's/hr on the highway. I got scared, so I let the throttle off a bit. It made my ***** tingle. Haha.

It rides excellent, feels a little tight. But its definitely refined. Its nice and low to the ground and looks aggressive.

80% of the people I drive by, stare at it and stare at me.

I'm 21 years of age, and I bought this car, on my own. The dealership was shocked, seeing a 21 year old covered in tattoo's put $12,500 cash down for the deposit and paid the rest off in a few day's after that. It shocked myself nevermind.

I had a 99 Nissan Maxima I paid my Dad $5,000 for when I was 17 and a 2001 Dodge Dakota I used to jump rock jumps in the gravel pit the company I worked for owned.

This is my first new car, and my first REAL car. Maaan, does it feel good.

My girl was so mad at me that I bought it, and I said "Put up with it, I'm buying the 392 SRT8 next year and modding it to the **** to race it."

She said she wouldn't marry me if I did that, so I said ok. See yah. But we're still together. She realizes how important it is to me I guess. I love to race, I got history as a street racer and have been in the papers across Canada for a highspeed chase from Fernie, BC to Crowsnest AB. I have the link on my Facebook to the Calgary Herald that put me in one of their articles.

Needless to say, that's not going to happen again.

But yeah, the car is amazing! I want another one to do up, but that's not a limited edition. I don't want to molest the Inaugural's integrity.

-Ryan,

By the way, I weld seed knives for farming equipment for work. I'm not a drug dealer or some other kind of loser.

I'm a hard workin' man who likes to live life in the fast lane.

But I can't street race anymore, so I want to keep it to the track.

Where do you put the license plate on the front! I don't want to, but I don't want to get pulled over either!

I got some more photos on my camera I'll try to get up in the next few days.

PS-Premium only, as specified. No smoking, eating or drinking in the vehicle either. And I got the leather/carpet protected already. Cost me $400 for a life time of treatments.

PS-Besides being a welder, I am also a photographer for many local and some not so local bands. Some famous, some not!

I have #787 - DWB/6speed. Very fun to drive. Amazing acceleration and with the 3.92 diff it runs through them pretty quickly. The funny thing is with the super monster freeway gears you can then cruise at 80 turning about 1800 rpm in 6th gear.

Google "Show and go powered license plate" ... my front plate mounts under the chin spoiler and stays tucked away most days. A remote control can flip it up within 6 seconds.

I bought mine from Yates = http://www.yatesperformance.com/allp.../xt3200dg.html
