darcas Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I was stage II catless up/down TDC map Perrin top mount sways and megans and it was running great. Just something odd about power band, the damn car seemed faster with the accelerator half way to the floor than all the way? Had this same thing in an Audi turbo car? Anyway I traded my 05 LGT for this new 06 SRT8 300C! This car is fast especially for a 4200 lbs. beast, handling and braking stock are awesome BUT man do I miss awd when it's snowy (ya I know what did I expect?) Anyway this forum is great and will still be worth participating even though my legacy is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewLegGT67 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The SRT-8 300C is hot. Now you could actually have three adults in the back. Good luck with the new ride.

TSiWRX Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Personally, I *heart* that ride. Saw a black SRT-8 on the road the other day, and I honestly started drooling. I'm not sure if it was still on the stock suspension or modified - but it's stance was just awesome. Take care with all that RWD power, though! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darcas Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 The car is a rocket and pulls until you run outta road. I do like the interior it actually seems pretty good quality and the suspension is awesome. As far as the member questioning my reason for trading the car I guess it was more a reason not to keep it. And yup it is brutal on fuel like the first 2 tanks were 10 mpg!!! I don't give a crap... when you can run with 4 people and it feels the same performance wise as just a driver that is good!!! Something feels odd about a car this big and heavy that goes and handles this good. It is definately faster than my Subie but I really liked the Subie for more than just the speed and I will miss it. Great cars and lots of potential (see Farmer Jon's thread). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Just curious... How many miles did you have on the car and the stage 2 setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcas Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 25000 miles on car about 10,000 on stage II, it was an impressive power increase on stage II and not much turbo lag. I just hated that feeling that it seemed to "hold back" when floored (except passing gear on highway). My car was a 5eat maybe the manual trans performs better with the added boost.

darcas Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 "Just something odd about power band, the damn car seemed faster with the accelerator half way to the floor than all the way?" has got to be one of the stupidest reasons to trade in a car that I can think of....

TSiWRX Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I just hated that feeling that it seemed to "hold back" when floored (except passing gear on highway). My car was a 5eat maybe the manual trans performs better with the added boost. With the manual, what becomes a concern is being in the right gear, at the right time. I've found for best highway performance, at least with my tune, it's not always just a brainless downshift to 4th that brings best passing results, so there's some compromise there as well. I blame all of this on our rather small snail, which starts running out of steam pretty quickly up-top. In the "tromp and go" sense of slushboxes, like brother sebberry said, ayup, there's quite a bit of complaint about this here on our Forums, and you're definitely not alone. I think that if that's what you wanted, you did make the right choice - short of a full-bore AMG. I wish you many happy, speedy, and safe miles! --- PS: My other current main hobby is speed detection countermeasures. Just in case you are interested in this area, know that the front of your vehicle is *extremely* hard to protect against LIDAR. I can help guide you on this, if it's something that you're looking to do and./or legal in your area. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
