08 Vert, New Owner

[SilveRT8]

Hi I'm Claude, a 54 year old Hotrodder currently driving a 06 Jeep SRT8 with bolt-ons wich did 12.16@113 so far. This summer I went to the SRT Track Experience to try the Vipers and after getting 'The ride' on the track by Ricky Haines, I decided on ordering an 09 Coupe for next spring. As a child who cant wait to get his presents, I checked stock in my state of Quebec, Can. and found there was only one new 08 still available at a Dealer not far from my place. So, last week I went to give it a look, Gorgeous 08 Vert, Black with Silver stripes and matching Black/Silver interior and the 5 spokes wheels that I prefer. I fell in love with it and knew this was the 'ONE'for me, forget the Coupe. Started negociating from a Can MSRP of 101,100 and one hour later left a dizzy salesman with a signed contract for 86,000 ( 81,700 US). Picked it up the next day and haven't stop driving/smiling since.
Winter will soon be coming but I figure on driving it for another 2 months before storing it. Being an occasional Drag racer I will give a good break in then take it to the 1/4 mile track to see what she'll do bone stock. I'm planning on adding Belanger headers for next summer, with filters and Tune if they become available, plus a few interior dress up items and the 1" seat lowering kit. John B, you'll here from me. Here are a few pics, along with my color matching 03 Harley 100th Ann., 06 Jeep and Skidoo Snowmobile.
I've been on this forum for a few months and just love it, so, YES I'll finally become a VCA member.
BTW just did my first mod by adding the SRT sticker.
Claude

Quick update, 1200 miles on the car now, so if weather permits, I'll take her to the track tomorrow, along with the SRT8 Jeep, and see 'What she'll do' down the 1/4 mile.

Congrats on your 08. Youre gonna love that car!

Wish I'd been able to get the gray interior! But why lower the seat? You can't rest your arm on the window sill as it is. Raise it an inch! You sit too low in all modern convertibles.
