Newer challenger's
I've personally drove around in the newer stuff. R/T challenger, Scat Pak challenger, 2SS Camaro's, GT 'stang. Here's my opinion.
Pro's:
- They offer all the creature comforts
- Fast and powerful for "off the show room floor". Will mop the floor with yesterdays muscle cars off the show room floor.
- 28-30 mpg. That's right. 500 hp (net at that!) and still get ya the MPG's
- Handling and braking is outstanding
- In general, very reliable.
- Safety features should the unfortunate happen
Con's
- Just going to the Post Office, feels like any other mid size new car.
- Not nearly as fun to open the hood and "dream of the next step" .... like dual quads, etc
- Very expensive to upgrade heads, intakes, etc.
- And the nostalgic feel is gone. Completely. That character is missing :(
