Wish I could help. I'm this close ( pic ), but can't sell the wife on it - yet. Keep me tuned in if you decide to do it. Looks like the factory drivetrains are able to handle 11's. Might have to be some major surgery in the engine compt.

I hear all of that! I'm 6' and don't have a problem though. They are like Corvettes - big threshold to climb over. "Not a Mopar in any shape or form"? Chrysler has been a [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] to so many other car company's over the years you need a score card to keep track. The X-fire, as under powered as it is in it's non SRT state, is still a pretty cool driver. On a closed coarse it will blow the doors off of any old Mopar, and at speed ( 130+ ) it is rock solid - as compared to my Cordoba, which is just plane scary! Like comparing cars from different planets, even though they both say Chrysler.

100's? Seriously? I thought they only sold about 100 of them altogether?

I know the dealers here could not hardly give them away.

A lot of woman bought them. and I get them from all around.Seems no one want's to work on them. Even other dealers. I have one woman that has 110.000 miles on hers . Parts are not cheap. heck a tune up cost 500.00. 12 plugs at 22 each.plus wires and air filters. NAG trans.. leaking connectors. blower motor resisters are bad in them. if I was a woman would be a cool car. Just not me..sorry. Heated seats in them are other nightmare. I should of said I worked on them 100s of times. not sure many of them are running around or how many I have work on more than once.

Any suggestions on how I can dump the rev limiter ( 6K ) on mine? There is a lot of motor left that is unuseable.
