Wildbill - To be honest my wife has driven the Charger to work all week and I haven't been behind the wheel since the night we picked it up. We've got some travel plans this weekend so it should be a good opportunity to try it out! I'll let you know how it works out!
I am sorry to hear that... Definitely let me know how it goes on the trip, autostick and MPG.

Nice ride Chargin. That pick really sells the midnight blue. What kind of mods/packages are you looking into?

Wildbill - The R/T was great on the trip. Used the autostick some which added a little more excitement, but even in drive the tranny shifting on its own with the HEMI is enough to give you a real rush! MPG was good, we averaged around 24.5-25 and we still have less than 500 miles on the car. I expect that to improve somewhat as it breaks in.

Fantastic. When going onto the highway can you feel the multiple displacement kick in or is it a nice smooth transition?

Any comments from anyone seeing it on the trip?

You don't even feel it kick in, but by setting the EVIC to view the average MPG you definitely see the results as the MPG suddenly increases!

Awesome. Thats what I wanted to hear. Is there any noticeable difference with the car handling or feel with the MDS activated? Saving gas is crucial these days.

I really like the small pic you got as your avatar. Did you link to any more pics of the car, or am I blind? I haven't seen many in the "Brilliant Black Crystal peral Coat"... thats a mouthful.

Fantastic stonebase. I don't mean to get to nosey but you have any pix of the interior too? Looking really nice. The front profile is the best angle for the car.... Seriously, I think you won me on the color.
