Beautiful!! Ghost if you zoom in you can see a little something up front there, now if that's just a cold air or something a little more fun I cannot say.

Thanks! They're Viper rims (perfect match - pattern and offset).
Under the hood - 6.1L stock internals with a MOPAR CAI, Hurst billet short-throw shifter, 3.92 on the 6-speed, Corsa Sport exhaust, and Johan Mangs custom tune. Looking to stroke it out to a 426 next spring. She's making 460 HP @ 6200 rpm right now - and still manages to get 25 mpg on the Interstates on 93 octane.
She took Second at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in 2012, and won Best Late Model MOPAR at Hemmings' Musclepalooza in September of 2011.

Wish I could find a way to post a pic of the engine bay.

Awesome!

I was viewing from my phone earlier and couldn't see many details. Very nice car.

Pics on this forum are too much of a pain in the ass, or I'd post some of my stuff.

Camaro looks nice, whats the red car behind? My first thought is a five window coupe as I see the hood up on its side, a peak at the rear side window but the rear Q doesn't look right.....

Oh the Challenger looks cool too! LOL

The car's name is Josie.
I ordered her as soon as the order banks opened for the '09s ('08s only came with automatic transmissions - I wanted a 6-speed). Chrysler filed Bankruptcy shortly after I ordered her.... Didn't think she'd ever be built. After a 7 month wait, I drove ten hours (each way) to pick her up (in a snow storm). Twice on the way out, and three times on the way back home I heard Steely Dan - Josie on different radio stations (I hadn't heard that song in a dogs age). It was like she was telling me her name. It stuck. Everyone in my family, close friends, and my car club calls her (by name) Josie.

Thanks.
The red car is my friend's '33 Chevy 5-window Coupe. Beautiful car - completely custom. Unfortunately, it rained as the show ended and his windshield leaked.....okay, more like "gushed" water into the interior. I felt terrible for him.
There's always work to do when you own a custom car.

The kids, well.... that's a different story.
My Son has been restoring an '85 Porsche 944 (it's a year older than he is). My daughter is a Mustang gurl.
The step-sons......are lost to the video-gaming generation of rice-rods. 😣 There's only so much a step-dad can fix!

Thank you! No trailer for us.
We run a few laps at The Glen every summer, and make a few passes down the 1320' several times each year.

Actually, it's not so wierd. Google "Drop Top Revenge" or "Legacy by Petty". My friend Bob owns them - both are DropTopCustomz. Legacy is usually residing at Petty's Garage (his shop built it for Bob). Bob drives Revenge at The Glen with us every summer. Close to 15,000 members in our Club - the vast majority of their cars are "named".

Nothing quite like driving in anger on a road course. I've road raced for the past four years now, did open track events before that.

Congrats on driving the car like it was meant to be driven!

Thanks, Anthony, and congrats to you too!
Nothing like the smile on your face and the climbing pulse rate from pushing a car to it's limits to remind you that you're really ALIVE.
