I bought Argo 6/18/2012, and traded in a Procharged '07 Charger SRT8 (527rwhp/454tq). I followed the 86 through its concept days and the allure of potential power to weight ratio, having a manual again, and RWD sold me on the platform. I've modded here and there along the way, but I finally got around to making a build log. I plan to turbo the car, and if I didn't purchase a house in June of '14, I would have ordered a turbo kit, clutch and axles. Essentially, all I have left are those 3 things, possibly a built engine, and a Flex fuel kit. My goals were to make the car fun to drive (well more fun), and eventually 300ish whp on 93 and ~500 on e85 (330whp should equal my Charger in power to weight ratio). I'll probably go with a EFR7163 or GTX3076R turbo, but may go slightly smaller for better response.
