Probably not the Hellcat because of the price but, I want a Challenger instead of the Charger because of the manual transmission available in the Challenger. Looking at probably the 485hp SRT. Any reason I shouldn't get one? I've heard Dodges live in repair shops. Is this true for the Challengers? Help me out here.

It would suck on the gravel roads. It would be difficult stuffing a deer or elk in it. Way to loud, it would chase off the game if your road hunter. You would be the guy that that everyone says WTF is that doing up here. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Ghost Hunter:
I wanted one when they first came out. :drool: My friend bought me one.......1:18 scale. Still have it. The obsession is gone and reality has set in. I'll never have my Harley either. :dunno:
You only live once. ;)
CAMPMEAT:
Buy a Ford Raptor instead............

I drove a couple a few years ago while car shopping.
Figure out what you're looking for in a performance car. If you want a muscle car to go fast in a straight line, the Challenger is great. I felt the same way about the Mustang GT and Cammaro SS. From a handling standpoint I felt like they were all bricks. They didn't corner well, and they just felt like power with limited control. If you're looking for a freeway cruiser or something to run through town they'd be great.
I realized that I wanted a better handling and slightly more "refined" car and ended up with a Lexus IS350 F (was a lease and turned it in a while back). I spend more time driving rural roads with twists and turns than straight lines. The Lexus held corners better than a straight muscle car and just had a better feel when driving. The price is pretty close to a well equipped Challenger SRT and I felt like the Lexus had significantly better build quality than the American muscle cars.
That said, get the Challenger if that's what you like. It's only money, you can always earn more but you can't take it with you. Enjoy it while you can. :twocents:

First of all, it ain't a 4x4 truck that you can throw an elk, deer, bear, moose, ect in the back of. My son in law has one, and he got popped in longview last year for doing 164 on I5. So, it would be really easy to get into real trouble with it real quick!!
