Muscle car questions from a foreigner

Davey

Historically speaking, poor reliability and resale. I said it was biased, remember?

So you have a hard-on about warranty on a new American car. Am I misunderstanding tho that there are no dealers over there and you'd have to have one of these cars imported in? So who the **** is going to warranty the car when you destroy something?

Jordo!

I am personally a fan of the new Dodge Challenger and Charger, and I don't think their reliability ratings are particularly poor -- definitely worth looking at Consumer Reports or Edmunds as you zero in on a make and model car you like.

The latest iteration of the Mustang also seems like a good choice for your wants and needs, but I think when you start adding on the better suspension and power packages, it starts to get a bit pricey ( I may be mistaken on this).

Either one will definitely stand out, and probably be a blast to drive as you cruise past random Peugeots and Fiats and such

How narrow are typical roads in Belgium? If its anything like France or Italy, parking should be... fun...

The best handling option, IMO would be the ZL-1 Camaro, good power and the fancy magnetic suspension...at least of what you are looking at.

Tadpole

Just by a smart car and put a hayabusa engine in it.

importers tend to respect the warranties and take care of everything if something happens for example matthias has about 3 years of warranty on his imported RAM1500. plus the former dodge dealerships still work on existing dodges plus I still have tom who works on my Z who wouldn't mind working on it. when I posted the C7 and camaro on facebook his first reaction was "I got a supercharger for that"

considering the fact that belgium has a hardon for hating on any form of modding this would get you pulled over and get it pressed in about a week.

hell you have to have certified european papers for fricking suspensions and exhausts. we can't do all the fancy cool stuff like you muricans can(well depending on state)

hell I had to take off my stillen gen3 intake off my Z or it wouldn't pass the yearly inspection

Looks like the 2015 Charger switches to all the fancy Fiat technology. I had a Dart before my Z and was absolutely in love with the huge touchscreen, customizable instrument cluster, voice command, and iPod interface. Heck, the stereo even sounded good enough I didn't rip it out. They have some neat safety tech, too, but my Dart didn't have that package. Dodge is offering a lot for the money. If I wasn't a Z guy I would have seriously considered a 2015 Challenger.

So how about the dodge charger? just saw the 2015 model and been reading up on it more. seems like it comes with AWD?

eh. the waifu prefers the look of the 2014 model but that one is pretty much like. want a V8? nope can't have that with AWD and 8AT. i think there is one model with a V8 and AWD but sorry in this day and age and these fuel prices a 5AT is stupid.

urgh. that thing is pretty much scratched off the list.

Pssh my challenger handles like my Z does. So don't say that. And if your looking for overall space and stuff the challenger has more space by far then the mustang has.

Vegitto-kun

well the perfect combination would be muscly car with dat V8 and AWD. would destroy my dilemma between big american V8 but oh god RWD and eh 4 cylinder subaru but it does have AWD.

the biggest issue now is that the V8 models(that are currently out) had a 5 AT and are all RWD(except one I think) and sorry but fuel prices are so expensive these days and 5 gears would use too much fuel. plus the highway engine noise would probably be pretty damn loud. plus gas is literally 8 bucks a gallon over here.
