The Challenger/300C/Charger SRT8 people laugh at cars like ours if we'd have the unfortunate occurrence of getting in an accident. Hey, different strokes, right? Wait until they get their new 6.4L for the 2011/2012 with the 8-speed ZF. Bye!

I still love the Challenger ads.

The best challenger add is the George Washington one.

Hey m4a1mustang, still the best ad EVER! (For a car guy, and yes, I know it's the Charger.) Everytime the transition to the talking to the sound of the V8 revving, I get this snarky snarl on my face, and just feel like saying, "Yeah! My car! Eat my carbon footprint!"

The amount of power those Challengers put down after a S/C, exhaust, tune, etc. is pretty ridiculous....nearly doubling the Z at that point.

I'm not a fan of the new Challengers though. They made them WAY too big for my taste.

The challenger gains way more from the exact same mods we have available for the Z. The Z's not keeping up with a fully modded STR8 no matter what you got on it, excluding a completely different motor.

until the first corner, where the challenger will fly off the track and into a ditch
