2008-2009 Challenger

Anyone got one, or thinking of getting one? Hear any pros/cons? I'm comparing it to the new Camaro and I'm not a big fan of the Camaro. Also considering the Mustang GT500.

Re: 2008-2009 Challenger

Well i know they look nice, and motor trend compared the two (gt500 and the challenger).

They said they liked the challenger more because it would handle better with the independant rear suspension. However the mustang spanked it in every comparison, better gas mileage, better quarter mile, higher G's.

Also the quarter mile was not even a good comparison because the challenger was an automatic, while the mustang was a 6 speed. They even mentioned that it takes skill to properly launch the stang, while launching the challenger was so simple a child could do it.

I think i would rather have the stang, but thats just me. The challenger is just too big for my likes, otherwise i love the looks of it.
