haha I got into an arguement tonight with a cousin about gross weight vs curb weight.


gross weight is maximum weight capacity including gas, passengers, etc.

curb weight is the actual weight of the car, and should be around 4200 for the challenger, not 5300.

the r/t I test drove was right around 4200 with me in it, and that 5.7L sadly felt underpowered. also the car does NOT handle well for its size/weight. the new CTS and AMG63's do, but they also cost a bit more. I'll buy a rustang and mod it for the price of one of these if i want the throwback muscle look. if not its solstice ls2 swap for the money.

I believe you can fit a 305 on rear, I'm guessing they went skinny to try to help with gas mileage?

I've seen 255 on the upgraded ones with the 20's.

Wow, I gotta say that's the first time I've been called a redneck. Hahahahahaha. If you really want to talk that shit you can spot my truck from a mile away. I'm in Radford quite often. I had no idea a truck with 22 inch rims stock was considered redneck????

The Challenger at least is a step back in the right direction for Chrysler I hope. Yes it could have been better but it does at least look decent. I am so tired of looking at the ugly ass 300C's and 4 door Dodge Chargers on the street. I'll be happy when both of them pieces of crap are cycled out of the lineup. I'll just keep driving my 1980's turbo Dodge cars and older Jeeps until Chrysler has something else I wanna buy again.
