From a Challenger SRT to a Z

marcelo929

Then again if you plan on doing bolt ons for your Z I believe the Nismo doesnt fit the long tube designs like Stillens so take that into consideration also.

in the Z you can take curves fast and feel the blood go to one side of your head

Test drive the Nismo 6MT, I probably would have went that route, but they didn't have those the first week the Z came out. I bought my touring the weekend they hit the dealers, was waiting for 3 months :-)
You probably will feel a little cramped in the cabin coming from a big car like the Challenger, but you will get over that soon enough. I came from a Mustang, and I'm really happy with the way my Z handles and drives with just a few basic mods. springs, sways, spacers, exhaust

And there you have it. test drive it and you'll see he's correct!

I predict you will trade that Dodge on the spot.

Lets just put it this way we can beat a challenger SRT in the corners AND the straights but hey thats what happens when your car doesn't weigh over 5000 lbs. My opinion is base +sports and take the money you save from the touring and nismo and get exhaust intake, a nice double din touchscreen nav + dvd bluetooth hd radio (you get the idea) head unit maybe new component front speakers and a 2 channel amp, and you will still have almost 5,000 left under a nismo that you can use to get REAL track suspension not just the "it's stiffer so it must handle better" crap that you get with the nismo.

That is pretty good advice. I just bought a base with the sports package and couldn't be happier. I had a Roush stage 3 427R Mustang with lots of mods like you and had the same fears as you. Afraid it would get stolen, keyed up out of jealousy, etc... so happy and so much less stress with the Z and driving it is a blast!!!! Not as fast straight line as my stang was but every bit as exciting. Of course the stang was putting out over 500hp.

I would test drive a base with sports and the nismo if so inclined, but be forwarned... if you drive it you will want it!!!! Good luck

Well the NISMO doesnt come with the items from touring and it or of a base with sports package right? Isnt really a big deal but the seats and sound system was really what sold me on a touring even though I know I could have reokaced the stock speakers with some really nice ones for less money. I test drove the NISMO and the Touring and I liked the touring. I would test drive them and ask for a long back road test drive if possible or freeway.
