Can you guess which part I am referring to?

In general the SS gets high marks for manlihood. But there is one exception that I am embarrassed about. Hopefully there is a mod to address the situation.

You got it! I didn't really pay attention to the chirping you get when remotely locking it. But yesterday I used the horn to say hi to a friend, and I was totally embarrassed. It's like going to a concert to hear Led Zeppelin, but hearing Michael Jackson instead.

I dunno about you guys, but my tach needs some serious enlargement. My wife's AUTOMATIC base-model Subaru Forester has a way bigger tach, and it's certainly not intended to be a performance vehicle. There's also the tiny speedo, with the 0-70 range within about 2.5 inches total area. Impossible to read accurately with a quick glance. Combined with total reflective glare on the dash "glass" from the reflection of the top of the steering column you can't even see the top half of the instrument panel on a sunny mid-day. Whatever you do, don't look at the tach or speedo on an SRT4, or you'll really feel small...

The horn, tach and speedo all need addressed.

I am thinking of changing horn from my old truck.

I beep now people wave.

There is a horn called a Stebel Nautilus. Used for car, boat or motorcycle.

I actually have one on my motorcycle and I am going to buy one for my SS.
It blows an ear piercing 139dB blast. Easy to wire up and great to use.

People definitely hear you with it...
