Default Sorry guys....

Crossed over to the darkside, bought a 2011 Challenger R/T this week.
Couldnt pass up the price and she is a blast to drive. The Mrs still has the NBM SS though. I'll post up some pics when i get a chance. Toxic Orange 5.7Hemi 6speed.

So how will you feel when you get your *** handed to you by a host of 10-20 year old cars? I guess if you're not serious about racing and only cruise around then it's cool.

we'll see where she stands when im done with her, with the SS knocking on 150k miles it was time for something new. I can always jump on my ZX10 and rape a couple 10-20 year old cars so whats the difference

Kinda funny my cousin had bought a 2010 challenger r/t and was feeling good about it, I took him for a ride in my h/c/i car and literally scared the crap out of him and since then he's been looking to get a srt8 but ill have a new surprise for him once he does lol

If it was time for something new, I would of suggested another engine.

tripblack- a stockish LS1 will walk an srt8 so your H/C/I car will do.

Ummm other than the mustang neither the camaro or challneger offer any gains over a stockish 4th gen fbody except the fact that they are land yachts. Also not to mention all cars listed are not "sports" cars they are pony or muscle cars.

I would go mustang at least with that you get great performance for the price. Plus it isn't a stupid heavy pig.

Oh I know my car would demolish a srt8, but now I'm almost done with my boost so it will be just that much worst

To op
I would love to have one as a nice dd, but I could never trust anything mopar, I wish you the best

Ive seen cam only Chargers with a set up suspension running 10s. Hemi's have really good power potential..think it was a SRT8 though.
