Just picked it up the other day. Coming from a 2012 Jeep SRT8. Very pleased with the car and enjoying beyond my expectations. Having many German cars, I am a fan of automobiles from there, but American(ish) cars are great these days. Just as good or better than the imports. Seems like the imports are getting softer, and the American cars are going back to real cars. I kinda of enjoy not having to adjust the suspension, adjust this and that just to make the car perform descent. I think this car is dialed in perfect, almost to the point I am hesitant to change anything with the suspension. Great power, awesome handling, and I can carry around my 3 small kids around.

First night with the car on the highway and a BMW z4M with at least an exhaust, knew exactly what our car was, started to test me. Gave in and needless to say he was very impressed when I pulled away from him all the way up to speeds we should not be going. The car is rock solid at high speeds. Yes I was alone, and yes I believe in driving a car like you stole it from day one.

WELCOME!!
What color did you get, and did you have to wait long to get it. The dealers up here are only getting one at a time every couple of months.

(WIde open until you see God, then brake.)

Welcome S Florida

I picked up my PBM SS in from a Naples dealer 13 days ago. I have only been able to put 450 miles on the clock. So, I have not yet put the hammer down. Wife and I are taking a road trip today from Ft Myers to Miami for lunch. I expect to add another 250 miles on that lunch run which will give me 700 miles and then I'll be ready to feel the power. Can't wait! I spend about 8 months in Chicago and 4 months in S. Florida. My SS will stay here.

Thanks everyone. Congrats sspwr. It's a great car for Florida roads and weather.

I got black and did not have to wait at all. Decided I probably want to get the car, found the one I wanted sitting at a dealer within a week, test drove it and brought it home that afternoon. Pushed them hard and was ready to walk so ended up getting a descent deal on the car and a good number for my trade in. It was kinda of nice buying a car without anticipating it for 6 months like usually happens and wasting half my life researching. Now I can waste time researching for mods:)
