Default Muscle car lover

I recently learned about and checked out at dealers the 2005 Magnum and I love it. I used to have a 1995 Impala SS, and I love the Magnum as a replacement for the SS, which I don't have anymore. The only things that bother me a little about the Magnum are: restricted visibility, wagon stereotype hard to digest but very convenient, and tiny tires (which I will replace with 20's chromes and wide tires 255 front & 295 Rear)
If you guys know anything about the magnum, ie: SRT8 concept, future productions, aftermarket parts, superchargers, ECU/PCM programmers... keep me informed.
I plan on getting mine within 9 months (wish I could get it next week, but money is not abundant)

I can't afford it yet, but I'm getting a second job to get a magnum (RT of course) and within 3-6 months, I'll trade in my 2004 Kia Optima V6 and get me a Black RT, with electronic and tow packages, and the first thing I will do will be, magnaflow mufflers, remove the resonators and put some 18 inch long chrome tips, airraid air intake, chrome grill and carbon fiber dash kit, and in a year or so, 20 inch crome wheels with big *** tires, and a supercharger.

An SRT8 is a hemi with a supercharger, different wheels and souped up interior, all of which I can upgrade/do myself.
