Newbie from all over

Hey Everyone,

Well like the title says, I'm a newbie from all over. Currently stationed overseas in Aviano, Italy (wife is with the USAF). We are going to be moving back to the states this fall and will more than likely be purchasing a new SCREW. As much as it pains me, this will come at the cost of selling my beloved Charger Daytona. Great car, but alas, I have a growing family, and 2 car seats just don't work in it.

I have been debating on which motor to get. More than likely it will be the FX4 (unless I can convince her to buy the HD ), and probably the EcoBoost. As much as I will miss the v8 grumble, I am loving the HP/Tq in the EB motor. We have a 2011 Flex with the EB in it, and we LOVE IT!

Look forward to talking to everyone here.
-Ben

I had my eye on the HD too for a while...decided i don't want to feed the 6.2L and ended up with the 5L. Looove it!

Thanks! Yeah I am thinking about that same thing SETCHAN, that 6.2L get's a bit hungry if your not careful. Not like the charger has been a smart car LOL.

If I may ask, what pushed you towards the 5.0L? And please correct me if I am wrong, but that's essentially the same motor that's in the mustang, just re-mapped correct?
