Made my decision.....

Chrysler did some really annoying things with the PCM on the car however and it is not tuner or mod friendly. Large turn off. There are ways to work around it and Diablo is working on a solution but that is still a ways down the road. The car did not sell well and the aftermarket following never really developed outside of a couple of vendors.
All-in-all a very good platform to work from. Handling could be better but is easily fixed with the Mopar sway bar kit. Interior is a large chunk of plastic however the seats are really comfortable. There is a ton of room inside and can be handy in the utilitarian role.
When I had my mods on the car I was laying down 350WHP. It is a front wheel drive car and this combination is just no good for traction. I could spin the tires in 3rd gear at 60MPH. Plenty fast but just sucked from a stop. Mileage was excellent as well. I was averaging 27MPG with mixed driving (in-town and freeway). Hard to beat.
My decision to get rid of it: I have 0 confidence that Chrysler/Fiat will pull out of the slump they are in and I don't want to be stuck with a car that was limited production, limited parts availability and having warranty repair availability issues. I purchased the car for $7K under MSRP and will not take too much of a bath on it. Also I want to step back into a pushrod V8 again and can easily afford it so why not? I love the new Camaro design. Wife already drives a 2010 Mustang GT. I like what the 2011 offers but the new Camaro has design hints of the '69 which is my all time favorite muscle car.
Sorry for the diatribe.

Not sure on the color. One of the following:
Black with white stripes

White with orange stripes
White with black stripes

I am leaning to white with orange stripes atm but may change my mind.
