Wife's 09 Challenger SE

Just thought I'd throw this out there and see what people think. Traded in a 08 Camry LE V-6 for this after she freaked about the recall. It's slow as dirt, but I am at least trying to make it look presentable! lol It is the S-L-O-W 3.5 V-6, and since getting it a few months ago I put the wheels/tires and stripes on it. Plan to do the hockey-puck hood stripes and lower it a bit in the future.

Stage 1 is good, put down a 9.15 in the 1/8th the other day. Want to tune over the Stage 1, but want to keep my warranty as well! lol Was going to put a cut-out on it, but found that was not really feasible without removing the cat, so I am waiting on that. Same with the other power adders, don't want a repeat of the Vibe!

from motor week road test."And that's not to say that the SE can't get out of its own way, as a 0-to-60 time of 7.8 seconds shows. The SE also gets through the quarter-mile just dandy, with a time of 16 seconds at 91 miles-per-hour."yes 3720 is heavy but with 250hp still not slow. It still has more than enough power for passing and merging in traffic, just not the best one for the dragstrip.

It def feels like a damn tank, and feels A LOT slower than the V-6 Camry which put out 268hp. I can't even get the Challenger to screech the tires!
