Default I have turned to the dark side...

Well, I just sold my mustang. I have loved the car. Been amazing to drive, had a few road trips in it, had some fun times in it, and I will miss it. However I'm starting a new chapter in my life. This chapter includes a 2011 challenger r/t. I'm gunna miss the mustang community here in OK, but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to own a mustang. I'll keep up with the forums, maybe post a few mustang races with the r/t, but I'll still miss my stang.

What? That's a step down in performance! I do like the challenger look, just not the size and weight of the things. I also hate my wifes Chrysler 300, which is a huge piece of ****.

I too love the look of the challenger. But as stated its big. Although I have never test driven one. I hear they r difficult to tune but not sure how true that is. Anyway I think their great lookin cars. U will have to post a pic of her

Not the dark side. Challenger is a beautiful car. Now if you said you'd bought a Toyota Prius.....that would be the dark side.

Duh! Assumed you had a v8. Sometimes I forget they make a v6 mustang.

I agree about the darkside! I like the way it looks and hope you like everything else about it!

cool. have fun with it. I like them too, I think they are the truest retro revival car, beautiful cars.. but they are too large and heavy for me. it was hard enough to find the mustangs weight acceptable : )

Nah, not the dark side, just a different side.

We have both in our family, a '10 GT and an '09 R/T. Variety, choice, and freedom is a good thing.

I really enjoy driving my wife's R/T. It feels like it handles better (even though I know by the stats that it doesn't) it's comfortable, it's quick (it has a tune) and it gets WAY more looks and compliments than my GT. It's HEMI Orange with black stripes so it looks plain awesome!

Congrats and enjoy!

Haha any econo-box would be considered the dark side. I respect the Challengers As big and heavy as they are, they're gorgeous cars.
