Default Say Hello to Kate!

Just brought her home. I guess wehn I test drove her last week, I really must have been very gentle with the throttle. When I floored her tonight She woke up and ripped down the street. I say its as fast or a bit faster than my SRT8.

Hello Kate!

And welcome to the forum!

You might want to put the MY and the 'R' in your signature to avoid future confusion.

It wouldn't hurt to check the throttle cable adjustment...maybe some still left in her. Great name, I like it!

Hey Cerberus, what ya coming to sunny AZ for ? If you time it right and have a garage to park her in at night you can probably leave the top down the whole time your here. Mines been down about 25 days in a row now but..... I work from home and dont have to commute early in the morning when its cooler.

My daughter is being baptized, Wifes father is a minister in Carefree, She is flying and I wanted to take a road trip so I am leaving the day before she flies out..I was thinking I would probably drive top down most the way.

You'll love it! Wave to me in Tucson as you drive through.

Welcome, Kate. Mine is known simply as "The Mistress."

Top down most of the way? Hmmmmm, depends on how tall you are. I'm on my second cross-country trip, and for me there is too much wind buffeting at 75+ mph. There's no shame in having the top up and stereo on, just enjoying the ride of an incredible grand touring vehicle.

When you are in the Arizona desert, DON'T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN! I drove up Mt Lemmon on Tuesday and was burned to a crisp. OW!!!

Too funny..... as I already have a convertible tan (arms, face and neck). At least I beat my daughters to it who are in Chicago with cold and rain, LOL.

I will agree about the sunscreen. Though I dont use any I can feel the heat of the sun being hotter in the last couple days then a couple weeks ago. I make the trek from Casa Grande to Tempe a couple times a week (50 miles) on the I-10 at 75 ish and know how easy it is to get burnt.

Still, enjoy her while your here....and have a safe trip.
