Welcome to Mopar Forums, clearly your Dad rocks. Nice ride man, hope ya stick around.

Sweet ride.

Looks like all of us young guys get the blue darts eh? I've had mine since I was 12, just turned 18 last weekend. Car looks and sounds good.


BUT... may I suggest getting rid of the rallies for some centerlines and getting M/T drag radials so you don't spin and hook better at the track? Just a suggestion.

Adding a sure grip (limited slip) to the rear will get you more traction which will help out with the "get up and go". Also, installed a shift kit in the tranny (if it is an automatic) will help out with quicker shifts.

Thanks Tim!!
