The thing that is interesting is that the Challenger actually isn't that bad. I drove one once and expected it to be bad in the corners, but it really just felt like a big sport sedan. It has lots of grip and the suspension carries all that weight really well. Its pleasantly surprising. It's still a car that you could take out to the mountains and have some fun with... It just wont carve through corners like the Z and Brembo 5.0.

Default Having both

Having both would be my choice but not possible. When I bought my Z in 2009, I had looked at the Challenger R/T (5.7 which I believe is a 360 Cube hemi). Around the Kansas City area, I couldn't find one for less than $35K. Even though the price has come down so to speak, one of the factors that made me have doubts was the price for used models with less than 10K miles. Every car "loses" value after sold to a greater or lesser degree but the Challenger's loss was fairly significant. Anyway, I am going to finish my 68 Barracuda and am considering picking up a nice Frontier 4x4 as my DD.
