Default New Guy-STR

Hello all! This is actually my wifes ride. We have had it a little over a year now. I stop in to the site periodically and finally registered and wanted to post up some pics of her car. Its about to turn 40k and going strong.

Well I wanted to edit and add to it but couldnt figure out how....anyway..
The car is stock minus the rear cans removed with the tips added to some straight pipe from the big resonator. The wife absolutely loves the sounds that it emits. Got the windows tinted after we bought it and had the factory wheels sprayed in the glorious black that you see. Enjoy!

Is that an SRT6 in the garage? They say its a slightly detuned SLK32 in other clothes, but my research shows its not detuned at all, just more affordable! Owners report equal power!

I can tell you for fact the SRT6 is quite a bit faster than the STR.....we have raced with the 6 stock and it was a gradual pull, now it just runs away in its current state of tune. My 6 has gone 11.80's on some drag radials. They hook very well.....1.7 60ft times are common on drag radials.
