Has anybody test driven the new Dodge Challenger or own one? know pros/cons? I have been eyeing it since its concept debut, but am waiting till I start working a real job to go check it out. I know the 2009 has manual trans now which is cool. Just want to see what peoples thoughts are on this car

I like the looks, but eh..

It's $700 for the 6spd option.

 

I dont care for the looks, proportions seem off. seems too narrow, and too tall for as big as it is, ohh yeah too big over all too. Looks cool from far away, but things start looking really shitty when you get near it. orange peal, fake carbon fiber vinyl stickers etc.

 

I mean its American mussel , i expect it to be big , but i have yet to see one up close . only seen one not in a pictures /magazine etc and that was about a month ago when i was driving back from MIR going threw gloster and it was dark out

 

I've seen them on the street and at gas stations, the looks sell me, but I like handling more than aesthetics.

 

i hope you mean muscle and not the clam variety


oh yea they have shitty interiors

 

We can tell. Thats why you own an S2000.



















































LOL I kid I kid

 

It's too fucking big

6spd costs extra money

It's too fucking big

 

haha yea muscle my bad.

yea website says they have 2 options , very basic stuff.

 

I'd rock the hell out of one. SRT's are a little pricey but most cars now days are near $40k for any type of performance new.

And saying the interior is shit is definately not what I'd say. Of course this is coming from someone who has an Integra which is a girl's car. So.......

I say go and drive one and form an opinion, but for the price of a SRT-8, you might want to also check out a LS3 Vette, GT500, and possibly the new SS Camaro. They're all around the same low 40 range.
