RooTBeeR,

I traced the ebay seller back to their store (A&E Trading Co.), they are in the UK, I called them on the phone, made shipping arrangements, paid thru paypal.

Here is a link to the website where I got the phone #

($26 phone call, use skype instead)

Very nice people, I posted about how long it took for the cable to arrive a few posts back,

just be sure to specify the FTDI BL chipset, I forget the numbers but just

read back thru this thread for all the info. If you can't find/aren't sure let me know and I'll help you out.

PS

(I don't know the rules about race discussions on this forum, but if anyone tells you an 05 LGT won't walk an SRT8 Challenger 6.2, laugh at them.)

:D

Good Luck

It wasn't the 6.4 392, I haven't messed with one of those yet, but the 2009-2010 year model srt8s had a 6.1 (I thought 6.2) with 425hp, that are nowhere near as fast as the newer ones with the 392 6.4. Totally agree with you that the 392 is quite faster. The older ones however are not.

OK I'll bite. Power to weight ratio the Challenger has 9.6lb per HP (425 hp / 4100lb)

The 2005 LGT, the lightest comes in at 3300, stock 250 hp that's 13.2lb per hp.

In order to say "laugh at them", to me that means that there has to be a clear, undisputed, wide advantage in the LGT's favor. So what do the track numbers indicate, because on the considerations above alone the GT would lose especially in the quarter mile where AWD is a drag and the VF40 runs out of breath.

On a whim I looked up some mag numbers and Edmunds has the SRT8 doing 60 in 5.4 seconds and the quarter at 13.6 104 mph. So where's that significant gap worthy of laughter?

Motor Trend got a 4.6 to 60 and and a 13.1 quarter mile at 108

That beats out all the stock LGT numbers I am aware of and even averages of Stage 2 mods.

I think that settles that. Let's move this over in private as to not derail the thread further.

I've been using my RL based cable to flash cars for many years.

I flash with version 1.29 ecuflash, and i edit with romraider.

To edit with the latest version ecuflash, i install xp mode and edit inside that, and then copy file over to flash with 1.29
