So anyone got any automotive plans for 2017?

No, but I had to fight them to get it fixed. They said they put it on a lift and all four wheels tuned, and I had to go back to the dealership and take the tech for a ride and smoke the shit out of the front tires before he'd believe me. Once they properly diagnosed it, they fixed it next day, no questions asked, and it's the revised part that isn't supposed to fail again.
From what I gathered on the interwebz, it's about $2,000-$2,500 to replace it, and it's a dealer only part.
Thinking widen the rear wheels to a 10.5" so I can stuff 305s back there. Mickey Thompson Street Comps, 275 front, 305 rear.
Lowering it probably an inch but I've hard lowering it throw alignments way out and none of the factory parts have any adjustability so I'd be looking at another $700+ for adjustable control arms front and rear.
Was looking at Barton's short shifter but I have zero issues with the stock shifter (worlds better than Ford's MT82 garbage).
Or say fuck all that and go FI. Don't know yet.

I like the Raptors numbers but I won't like the exhaust tone. Just read a big article in car and driver on the new one. Seems better in every way. Hopefully an open intake will allow the turbos to drown out that gross v6 note.
I'd like to focus on appearance this year and try to get the paint in as good as shape as possible. Maybe try another garage polish and if it doesn't turn out better (I learned a lot the first time) then take it to a pro.
And also have the wheels stripped, polished and coated for easy maintenance. They're bare aluminum now.
Most of all, drive it. I sucked last year at putting miles on the TA.

Does MGW make a shifter for your car? I was more than impressed with their quality.
Nope, they were the first that I looked at. They make them for Camaro, Corvette, and GT500 but no Challenger.
A lot of guys did the $200 Jegs cat deletes on the 2011-14 cars. It was so cheap and showed great gains. The MAK will be the same. Sucks that it is so much more money compared to the 2011-14 cars. I think you would leave a little torque and hp behind with the MAK kit. But are you really going to miss it with the blower? Probably not. Headers are expensive. I bought the cheapest set up out there and was glad I did. They fit really well and saved me a bunch of money. They are the JBA titanium coated headers. If you decide to go with headers be sure to contact me first. I may have some info for you.
The tunes do not cause issues like they originally did in 2011-12. The tunes are very safe nowadays. And the dealer has to prove the issue is caused by an aftermarket part. Which is very hard to do. But when you modify a car and have something being warrantied, it can cause headaches or problems. So it is always something to think about for sure.
havent really thought about what this year may bring yet.
Maybe finally throw a tune on the ST?
GTO - Just keep it running I guess. I did good w/ it last year, got the brakes done, fixed a bunch of other little nagging issues, this year I guess i'll just fix whatever breaks. Theres always something leaking out of this damn car.

Buy and install a tick clutch master cylinder.
Try to fix some issues with the exhaust.
Drive the car more.
Build a detached garage so I can work on it and other projects.
Decide if I'm gonna paint the car and keep it or sell it.
Oh and seriously wanna look into, and hopefully do drag week with it.
