Nice car.....I like it.
Theres nothing better than a larger car than your typical 2-door little sports car with two seats....with a TON of power. Just too bad it is so big, high off the ground and heavy......it'll just never be an all-around great performer.

Still a fat pig and no manual. Don't care for the look either. SRT8 Charger on the other hand.....pretty nice. Family car though. I have no allegiances to any car except maybe anti Honda. I sat in the challenger and at 6'3" I did not like the view from inside at all. It's just WAY too huge. I feel the same way about the Camaro. (to a lesser degree) ALL 5th gen Camaros. My arm resting on the door was parallel to the ground...wtf. Tiny little windows. I understand the requirement to make cars that meet safety and emission standards but damn 4k+? I was at an auto-x event and there was a 2010 challenger and two 2012's all had 450-600whp and their times were almost the slowest if the day. All had full suspension too. They were being beat by Honda Fits. Stock Honda Fits. It was her first time there too. (the fit driver). Disgraceful. Put that "hellcat" motor in something sub 3500lb and a stick and watch out.
Bingo

My dad has a 2010 challenger, and it's nice, but just too big and heavy for me. Granted, it's a nice cruiser since it 'floats' where as my car feels more planted and solid, but then again, he's a good 400+ lbs heavier than I am, and it sits quite a bit higher than my car.
It's sad that the only sub 3600lb v8 is the corvette, maybe a stripped mustang, not sure, at least domestically.
I really hope the new generation of camaros gets slightly smaller and sub 4000lbs.

I feel like they just wanted to build the car for a hp number and not to perform. The videos did it no justice for me, and though it looked slow. If it did go 10.90 that's fast but not by today's standard for a 700hp car. A c7z will go that fast with a good tire and a few bolt ons.

A c7z is in a totally different league. Quit comparing a challenger to a vette !
its like comparing the Viper against the cts-v

I said it once and I will say it again when all the big three companies came out with their versions of the throwbacks, I thoroughly liked the look of the challenger way better than the mustang or the camaro. This one just takes the cake IMO besides the weight. All of them seem to be heavy *** cars but if I had 60K or whatever it would take to get either one of the big three muscle cars, It would be this one.
And like everyone else pretty much said, this is just a win for all of us with the HP wars.....just the fact they cost so much $$ kills it for MOST of us, lol.

Exactly this is the best looking throwback car so far !

Srry I meant a c6z, but even still I was talking about hp to performance. Like most people here I'm into best bang for my buck. A 60k+ car that makes 700hp and barely runs outa the 11s, probably handles like a shortbus is worthless. Unless your a try hard and wanna ride around with a fat car payment and tell people you have 700hp, but couldn't outrun a fox body mustang with an e cam and some gt40 heads lol.

With this muscle car war we all win in the end. I wonder what kind of power a new LT1 would make with a 2.4L blower. Currently i believe its only a 1.7L.
Im a chev guy but I'm glad Dodge is finally coming to play too. Little late yeah but better for us all. I wish i could afford a new car.

I love when I see the HP, and technology bar get pushed higher, and higher, and higher. It's what most of us(here) are doing to our vehicles when we can afford it. IMO, it's seems to be a nice car, that I'd definitely consider it if I was already considering a new Camaro ZL1 or Mustang Shelby GT500 .
