When I test drove the SRT Jeff bought I was shocked, I had forgotten how long the throw was

. My SXT has the Mopar and I adore it. The SRT has a 50% Maddog...definitely pick an STS up as soon as you can.

i was looking at maddog ones, for 72% reduced throw it's $110.
I didn't think that was that bad. I expected them to be more

Fuck 80% reduction. Srt had 72% in it when I bought it and I took it out. It's too short. I don't want anything shorter then my 58%. Just me though.

58% to me is plenty short enough. The 1in reduction is nice also. Now that I'm driving the orange car with a stock srt shifter I feel like I'm driving a mac truck compared to the 58 in the srt.

Nice, that's exactly what I paid for my SRT hood too, but I only drove like 10 minutes. lol. You are painting it yellow, right?
Oh and I've actually played with an %80 and a %58 back and forth (had them both and was deciding which one to keep) and they felt almost the same to me. The difference was so minimal to me for some reason. But I liked them both.

Where do you live? I have a buddy who has his stock SRT-4 hood about 6 hours from here and he just wants $100 for it. It's Solar Yellow. Not sure how far you live, but perhaps we could just swap... whenever I go pick it up... (I'll shave the paint off if I keep that one, regardless).
