Default New Owner, Great Car

I am excited and amazed at what this car can do. I just picked up a NEW/USED Black Srt-6 on monday and am having loads of fun. It's a black one number 58167 with every option, Nav and all-season tires. I ended getting it for $24,100 dollars after 2 weeks of negotiation. I Picked it up with just under 100 miles and currently have 267. So far, it's awesome! I love it when i park and someone comes over to ask me questions. I have scared a couple of my friends and my mom. I'm 21 and this will be my college car. Now i've been trying to resist the urge to punch it, because i should break in the engine, right? Is it ok to red line once in a while? This forum was awesome in helping me negotiate and answering all the questions i had before i bought it.

You will fall in love with the xfire, if you haven't already. Your first purchase will be a set of front Rotex gold brake pads. You will get tired of cleaning the brake dust off the front rims. The rear you can deal with.

The Forum is a great place for information. As HDDP WOULD SAY, use the search button. LOL.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy you SRT6...
If you get tired of cleaning that brake dust off the wheels take our advice...Get the Rotex Gold Brake Pads... www.brakeworld.com

I got them and I have no more issues with brake dust. They also provide excellent stopping power.

I washed the car today, and yeah those rims are going to be a hassle to clean. I almost gave up. I'm definitely going to change the brake pads.
