I WAS MUGGED BY A MOPAR!!

Took delivery of a Bright Silver SRT8 Challenger the day after Thanksgiving. I had a lot to be thankful for on Black Friday. There's only a 500 mile break-in period before I can really test the car's performance but I REALLY appreciate how much functionality Dodge put into this car. You can measure 0-60, cornering Gs, and a few other things.

The interior rivals a lot of the European sport tourers I've driven. The seats feel like they have memory foam in them the way they wrap around you and plushly hold you in place. I have taken some fast corners and this suspension is Da BOMB!!

The 6.1 HEMI loves to spin. The meaty part of the torque interrupts your breakfast and stays late for dinner! The pistol grip shifter on the manual is like budah.

He's a big boy, though. Taking up a lot more room in the garage than I expected. The designers wish they could have started with a smaller platform but did the best they could considering they had to basically shave as much off the 300/Charger/Magnum big body to buid the Challenger.

All in all, I'm one happy camper. Even the little lady likes it. Accept when I'm stopped by admirers wanting a closer look.
