Coming home from San Diego on Monday I was playing a game of cat n mouse with a SRT8 Challenger, had some fun times with the guy. We were hauling *** through the Grapevine about half way or so till we hit hella traffic. They decided to close a lane for construction. Oh well, funny note, my gf said it sounded like the SRT8 was farting as it would accelerate. I bout died hearing that haha. On a negative note, Traffic+Grapewine+hot weather=no bueno!

 

What color was it? Man i'd love to have a Lime Green or maybe a Plum Purple....something unique, because the look of the SRT8 with one of those two colors looks killer on that car. It's a fun car to drive.... very comfortable ride. Well i guess it should be considering it's big & heavy like a Boat. LOL Performance wise i'd take a mustang anyday of the week though i do like their exterior design. Very Savvy imo. Better seats as well.

 

Hemi orange, I have yet to sit in one, I'm kinda curious about it.

 

I remember when the Challenger was first coming out the forums were filled with smack talking about little mustang engines being crushed by the challenger.. now seems like most of the people just talk about how awesome their cars look and who cares if it isn't as fast

 

Of the big three, Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger, Dodge nailed it on the head by way of styling. BUuut, there are too many issues with it lol

 

The challenger is way too big to me. It looks like a friggin boat.

I really want that new 5.0 tho... I can't stop thinking about how awesome that car is. :-(

 

Out of the BIG 3 (Camaro, Challenger, Mustang) it's the only car that i love in both auto and stick form Drove both transmission in the SRT 8. Camaro, i love the auto because it had paddle shifters and mustang (strick... end of the story). But i think the majority of people who buy the challenger are more concerned with the looks than performance. ALTHOUGH.... i can tell you (first hand) the challenger is a BEAST at higher speeds. Holy cow, it maybe slow oughta the gate but load it up with some moonshine and let her fly!

+1.... i totally agree with you. Like i said, the car's a boat but oughta the 3 it has the BEST interior and i love the stock seats

 

Good run crash.. Yeah man those Chally's are a bit too big IMO. They look nice though.. I've ran a Charger SRT-8 (edged him barely) I think the Challengers are a bit heavier than the Charger, so when I see one I really don't feel threatened.. Good run man and as always nice ride...

 

Ditto, the Challenger looks bad ***.

Thinking about getting one once the GT is paid off. Not the SRT-8 version, but the RT, black with the appearance package (hood scoop, wing) Just something to throw some rims on, a nice throaty exhaust, tint and a fat lopey cam... not the fastest car at the track, but a great looking modern muscle car none the less!

 

LOL.......from the stories it seems that the Challenger is the new GTO
