Getting rid of my Z. Any recommendations for a replacement?

It took awhile but I bought a 2014 Challenger today. Should be here by Friday. Thanks for all the input.

ROFLMAO. I wish. Opposite end of the spectrum - SXT Plus (305HP V-6 with base suspension). Getting a real good price on it and if I can't get the suspension right (a Q&D search says I should be able to get salvaged parts from a sportier model for under $1000) I can trade it for something else and maybe even make a few bucks.

Now comes the hard part - finding a Challenger forum that is as good as The370Z.

C7 Corvette for me, if we're keeping it realistic, or something with a turbo from the factory.

So op what are some of the things you like about the challenger? I drove a v6 model and it felt so under powered and it handled like a bank vault on wheels. Im hoping your experience is going much better.

I don't plan on leaving The370Z any time soon. Too many good people on here.

The best thing about it is the price. If it doesn't work out, I can always sell it and get something else. I'll have to make some suspension mods but not too worried about the "lack" of power. 305 HP should be enough for my DD.
