Test Drove a Challenger SRT8 Tonight...
 
I'm a pretty big MOPAR fan and I think the new Challenger looks great. I liked it and it was fun to drive but I like my Z much better.

As much of a PITA as it has been to find a 370Z I want, I considered the SRT8, but the handling just isn't there. Best retro look on the block, though!

Thing is sexy, was it a automatic or stick, not sure what's in srt 8.

Now if they had stuck with the look of the actual concept ... I'd fuckin love it.

The Challenger is a bad ride. That is what I was all set to buy until I flip flopped to the Z. The RT was what I was going to get but I did drive an SRT. Dang that thing is really great car. I still love them!

I too think it is the best looking of the throwback cars.

I would love to have one as a weekend cruiser type car.

5 speed auto but I have also driven the 6 stick about a year ago.

such cool cars, just ooze badassery and intimidation. Best looking of all the "retro" muscle cars imo. But, it's a boat and, the interior is pretty crappy for the price, at least it was when I looked at them a couple years ago.

pretty much dead on with my opinion.

I drove one hoping it would have a driving feel to match up with the looks....not even close.

Although, I guess it's not so much bad as it is the car is just a boat.

I am flabergasted that we actually agree on something, that never happens. :p

I guess it's more of a land boat than a car :p

we agree on a lot of things, but we can only agree if you are right:p

I like how these retro look overall, but the really hate how it looks "tall" in person. If there was ever a car that looks 10x better lowered, it's this car.
