Fun car to drive

I love walking up to this car everyday knowing it is mine and I can get in it and drive it. The Blackberry Pearl exterior color is amazing to look at, sometimes it looks black, other times a rich dark blue. Then getting in and starting her up to hear the deep rumble; can't put words to it. The manual transmission is so fun to drive, and the torque and horsepower is all that is needed for off-track driving. The overall experience compares to no other car I've ever owned.

Srt 8 392

Car has substantial means, from power, to control. Gas mileage is not so great with the big v8s...but if u dont care about that....best bang for your buck.

Very reliable car

This car was reviewed by Car and Driver and recieved excellent reviews. Their only criticism was the large size and weight of the car. It is sizeable, but in spite of the large size and weight (3800lbs), it feels nimble and precise. Also, I have historically registered in excess of 30 mpg actual, arrived at by gas pumped divided into miles driven. (not by the on board indicator) This could lead one to think the car a bit slow, however it boasts 305 HP and turns in mid 6 second 1/4 mile times.

The most fun car I have ever owned.

This car is a lot of fun to drive and handles beautifully. The power it possesses with the 392 Hemi is unreal. I would buy it again.

Classic Look with modern speed!

I loved this car from day one. An everyday driver with muscle car manners when you want them. One and only one flaw - like many modern sports cars the view behind you is obscured and you?ll find yourself parking where you can leave going forward. I back into lots of parking spaces but hey I park as far away from other door dingers as I can anyway. Normal mode is a joy to just cruise and sport mode delivers the road beast when you want to play! I?m certain I?ll own another Challenger, it?s just a special ride.

Challenger SRT8 Looks Performance Price

Challenger SRT8 is the combination of perfomance at affordable price with the classic retro styling. Drive it and you'll buy it. Exhaust has that mellow sound til .....well.

Get it out or Let it in

This is my bucket list car and I had to get it out of my system, or let it in. Well, I love it. I enjoy driving it every day. It's dependable, beautiful, and comfortable. I would highly recommend the following (if they aren't already in the new models): auto-headlamps, Bluetooth, brighter lights in the cabin, and auto-adjust volume on the sound system (gets louder when you speed up, and gets quieter when you slow down).

Most Amazon Car I've Owned

It's a great car. It picks up speed quickly and has a nice system in it already. I like how it doesn't hit bumps on the road hard, it more of like sways over everything.
