The programming "sucks" because Chrysler doesn't want the car coming in on a rollback, owner complaining he broke the differential "driving normally" instead of sidestepping it at 7 grand...on slicks at the track.

But potential warranty claims really don't apply here since the OP's warranty was void the first time he raced it.... so he might as well have given it a "stock" tuneup at the same time. Race it once, presto...no more warranty!

---

SRT= STREET RACE TECHNOLOGY.... Correct?

So.. If you advertise street and race, why would the warranty be voided? Chrysler has obviously toned these down to avoid warranty issues, but I can't see advertising a "Street Race" car and not expecting anyone to race them..

This is exactly why Chrysler and GM...DON'T GET IT" and Ford does..

Just to clarify, the car was not burning that much oil. It was needing to add a second quart when I changed the oil just before I sold it. At about 5500 miles. So that is one quart in 2750 miles. By todays standards that seems like a lot, but may in fact be normal for this motor. And it may have gotten better as it broke in some more.
I will bet that every one of your Guy's race motors burn that much oil in that many miles (if you should ever drive that many miles with a race motor) and it is not causing detonation. Or basically I do not believe one quart in 2750 miles is enough to cause detonation in this motor. I think that question as to the oil level got some of us off track.

---

Should burn 0=ZERO that new. I have had 2 5.7 HEMI trucks and they used NO oil. They did both make a knocking sound at idle though.....

---

Even my 95 5.2 rattles a ton at the track unless I mix 93 w/ 104. All it has is the mopar computer.

It is sad that some of you are questioning dragrcr97 ability to drive a car or his ability to work/diagnose one. If you have ever seen one of his cars in person and the workmanship that he put into them, you would be amazed. A few years ago I saw Ron’s Demon at Las Vagas and the workmanship in that car.

I second that.

Whats so FUNNY about you is you have no idea who I am. You are the type that sits on the couch and gets all tingley inside when you see a chrysler commercial talking about the "lifetime warranty". Who is going to warranty them if they are not here??? They have made some of the worst looking vehicles in the last few years I have ever seen. If it wasnt for the RAM I think they would be gone. I have ran and have in my shop now more TRUE Mopar racecars and street cars than you can even name. Its people like you that make the "NEW" Chrysler think its OK to make all these UGLY cars. Case in point, that stupid looking Aspen you named. Tell you what Bleedy, is it OK with you if I go today and buy me an '09 Stratus?? What do you think about when I pop the hood and the top of the engine says "Mitschubischi"??? I am more TRUE Mopar than you will ever be......you have no IDEA.

---

funny thing is, that I really dont give a crap who you are or what you have in your garage... you dont know me either, and you can type your assumptions on here, (btw, they dont offer lifetime warranties on the CTD or SRT line up, so i'm not all giddy inside over it, any other assumptions?)

But, youre the typical need a pat on the back for being someone "big" and "important"... the really funny thing is that I know exactly what you are without knowing you. go figure. Sure I probably would like what you have in your garage, and I would appreciate it, but does that make me think youre more important, or more into this "hobby" then I am? well if you want to think that, then go ahead, I'll let you be more important then me... youre welcome.

Like i said all along, buy what you want, its your money, I dont care if you buy a stratus, or crossfire, or whatever makes your big important ego feel good. I dont care if you dont like the new aspen, or durango or the last few years of cars, i just think its funny you call yourself a TRUE mopar guy... cant handle my opinion? ok, you need to get over it like how you need to get over the fact that the charger is a 4 door.

moving on, I'm done with you.

I wont agrue with you like were in High School. You are obvisiously a "computer" car builder. We do the real thing here. MOPAR ONLY SHOP. You keep reading your 0-60 times in "Hotrod Magazine" and telling your buddies that four door car (CRAP) YOU bought is really a Charger....

yes it is obvious... ok.

MOPAR ONLY SHOP, but drive a Toyota... OK.

It's obvious that you can only make assumptions and say things to make yourself bigger, because you arent intelligent enough to just say something like...

thanks for letting me spend my money how i want, i'll let you spend your money how you want.
I may not like all the new stuff chrysler is putting out now, but you have every right to enjoy what you enjoy... i'll stick to my 70's and early stuff.

instead you do what you do, oh well, i have to go now and build my computer car and catch up on HotRod magazine...

maybe i can get your autograph sometime?

---

Autograph, Sure anytime. You can find me at most all the SS/AH events. I'll even let you sit in the Barracuda while I sign your Charger window sticker for ya.

I have a "few" mods in my car now, and it is a BLAST to drive. I could care less what it runs at the track as that was not the reason I bought the car. On the street, there is not much that will keep up...unless you start meeting some really serious iron. I'd say it's an easy low 12 @ ~118mph car in street trim....which when you figure a race weight of ~4500 lbs, is a bunch of HP at the wheels for a 370 ci motor. Show me a 4500# 383 powered car run those #'s....and then how streetable is it?

---

My 68 Fury 4-Door runs in the 12's.. would have been low 12's if I didn't run out of nitrous before I upped the jets. Very streetable, nitrous is a wonderful thing!

All I'm saying is you would not believe the difference (on an auto anyway) with a before and after Diablo tune. Disable the torque managment completely with the Diablo, and you have the way the car should have left the factory...as an SRT...the reason wht people buy an SRT.

---

I would belive it because I've experienced it, and recommended a "stock" Diablo tune several posts ago.

The point I was trying to make is the torque management programming is probably done to reduce warranty costs, but I guess that point was totally lost somehow. At any rate it's easily defeated and the warranty just as easily voided so it's nothing to get too worked up about.

Hopefully nobody tied into Chrysler will see this thread

Hey Zippy I see it..lol

The problem is certainly in the torque management system.The engines make the numbers every day.
