Well, if you race from Los Angeles to some off road trail leading to a hill in some park in NY, those cars will reach NY and clear up the 8" obstacles long before you get there.

Depends how badly they were speeding and how many cops were on their route.

But yes, Challengers in the next town.

What was that you said about "any" M series or AMG? Especially the AMG...

When I'm in my SRT, I can't get no one to bite. I guess they don't want there pretty little sports cars to get mauled by a 4400lb dinosaur.

I don't fall for that crap. I will only do it if I know a cop sits up ahead. Yes, I will get them all excited and lead them into the trap. That is when I laugh. (LMAO)

You don't have to worry about me trying to goad you into a race. I had an '09 370Z for a few years and have a '14 Challenger now, so I have some idea of what both cars can do. My Challenger is a great DD but lumbersome compared to a Z.

While one of the outrageously overpowered Challenger models might take a Z off the line (there is no substitute for cubic inches), they are still lumbering beasts in the curves. I do miss taking corners as fast as I wanted.

It's a Dodge thing, not just specific to the Challenger. If you're doing 80 on the freeway, it's always a Dodge Ram 3' off your bumper trying to go faster.

This..all day. Had one of these literally try to run me off an on ramp a few days ago. Surprisingly quick truck and a real DB behind the wheel. He was surprised when a Hyundai handed him his ***. 2015 Ram 1500 R/T Hemi Test – Review – Car and Driver
