One of the cars I looked at was a chev half ton LTZ with a 6.2 liter 420 HP, same motor as my daughters hot rod Camaro. To be honest when I drove it and looked into it I found it was mostly noise. sounded great, but not really very quick or fast. I just read a review of the Challenger not too quick. But it depends on why you want it, its your dime!! :)

Oh, they're fast. There's no lack of power in an SRT8 Challenger.

Why would you need talked out of it?
They look cool, drive more "old school" and still give you some reliability and modern comfort that is going to be lost in a classic. I know a couple guys that have them and with the manual its a fun car to drive. Its not my preference as I like more old school metal or motorcycles, but it is certainly fun wit the option of a daily driver.
My only reservation would be if financing. Be cautious and take a real look at expected depreciation. I really wanted a Harley several year back, and because depreciation was negligible I was able to buy one trick it out and play with it for a couple years before I lost interest in that bike and sold it with negligible loss making it an affordable bucket list item. I am not sure about this rig tho, So I would do very thorough research prior if planning to finance as being strapped to it via payments is not fun IMO.

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.

A buddy of mine has a Hellcat. Enough power to make a grown man giggle. Ha. I can't talk you out of it. They are a fun rig.

I do not consider 14 second quarter miles fast.

Forget a Challenger. You want a Jeep Trackhawk. You can fit waaaaay more outdoor gear in there... and a few dead animals.
