The dealerships are going to make record profits this year. my 2 cents: The debacle that caused the original recall has put everyone on edge about safety defects and you will continue to see recalls for things that might seem small, and that previously would have only been a TSB.

Thanks! Looking at those and Arduino, they both have CAN support and should be relatively easily programmed (although I need to learn most of this). I am starting to look into open source Simulink solutions. It seems there are several out there, but all don't offer the same capability.

Ironically, I just drove one about an hour ago. It's not really my style though.

Jesse, you're on to essentially what I am doing, however it is for a side project of my own. I do have access to all the CAN database information, so no reverse engineering for me. I just need a method of filtering and modifying signals on the network between multiple devices. I know the commercial tools that are out there, but they are obviously beyond my budget and I can't exactly "borrow" a dSpace MicroAutoBox and Simulink license without getting a bunch of questions. I'm not a programmer, so I need to find out how good some of the open source stuff is. I see guys using the Arduino for scan gauges, scan tools, and sending messages on the bus (but these are typically on/off switches, like windows etc.) I need to find more info about OpenCAN and what off-the-shelf support there is for CAN with Arduino. From everything I have read, it should be possible. But the GUI's may be lacking in some areas. As I learn more I will keep this updated for people who would like to do things similar. However I will continue to be vague in the specifics of my implementation.

Only been at Chrysler for a year and had the cars before I changed jobs. Even so, I feel we have only recently started building cars that I would buy myself, and they're only getting better. If my wife wouldn't bitch at me about gas mileage I would buy a Durango or Grand Cherokee right now. My Equinox is almost paid off so I'll probably drive it I to the ground though.

Ok, so after some more research I see there are CAN interfaces for Arduino and RasPi. I know there are several people on this board who are into hobby electronics and may have worked with Arduino. I'm not a programmer, but I know there are a lot of open source applications out there. Can anyone point me in a direction? Essentially, I want a module that can act as a gateway between 3 different modules. I need to pass through all but 2 messages, which I need to modify.

I am looking for a reasonably priced car hacking device and I can't seem to find much info via Google, and I'm wondering if anyone on here has seen any products out there. I'm looking for a CAN gateway with programmable logic that would allow me to modify existing CAN messages, preferably with available PID controllers. I have seen an Arduino-based device in some articles that a few guys developed and used to have a car for $26, but I haven't found any technical info or if it's available for purchase. http://jalopnik.com/hackers-can-take-over-your-car-with-this-simple-26-dev-1519896807 I don't have the budget for a MicroAutoBox/Matlab/Simulink, but need something off - the- shelf.

Not only that but there was also a story of a 60ish year old dude on a crocodile sightseeing boat trip in Australia with his family that was FUCKING RIPPED OUT OF THE BOAT AND EATEN BY A CROC! Fuck that. When I was in French Polynesia I was face to face with a humpback and scared shitless, I can't imagine being surprised by a shark like that.

Alfa dealers were announced today. For Columbus it's Bob - Boyd Fiat.

This is why tree's don't belong on race tracks.

Not a Hellcat, but might as well keep all the '15 Challenger stuff in one thread. 2015 6.4L Scat Pack

10.99? I have no doubt that the official number will be higher than that, but I heard an impressive time that was done on the production tire.

I guess this is the rumor going around today that I caught on another forum. Not sure how true this is.

Depends on the vehicle, but higher stall converters don't transfer as much torque to the wheels at idle and rolling back is the result. My Dad's Avalon rolls back really bad too, and that's why some newer cars come with Hill Start Assist.

The numbers on this car are ridiculous, regardless of weight, and I can't wait until some good shops get a hold of one and start opening them up even more.

That's a 2.4L NA. The 2.0L has a different front bumper and wasn't available in the 06 model year.

Cool, didn't know about the class changes, just knew what the car was built for.

SSB - Showroom Stock B

Nice! It's an 06 Solstice built into a club racer, which means it's a 2.4L and probably the stripper model with crank windows and Z0K suspension. It has a carbon fiber hard top but should be otherwise stock. Here's a link to info about what this car most likely is: http://m.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/sema-pontiac-solstice-club-sport-z0k/

Love the Plum Crazy, but I like the wheels on the red one better, so it's a toss up for me. Good looking cars

Glad to hear it. I did autocross's at Gratten and Waterford Hills where people got loose in a slalom or chicane and ended up in the wall.

Looks like a fun event, but I will caution everyone that every event that I've ever been to where they placed cones on an actual race track has seen at least one car into the wall. It's tough because they usually have to keep the speeds down due to their insurance, so they add slaloms and chicane's, but then the barriers end up being very close.

I don't think the active exhaust valve is tied to the red key, but it's possible. The black key is only ~400 HP. The red key in not a "track key," like the BOSS. You can use it on the street, but it gives you access to all the performance. The 6.4L is pretty loud too.
