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.

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.
