Default Happy happy Joy joy...

Hi all,

I up-rated the Dodge Challenger today. It's a 2017 6.4 liter Bumblebee...vrrooom!

Nothing like being shoved back in the seat :-)

Bob

Congrats, very pretty, I've been very happy with my 5.7 RT, I'd get into a lot of trouble with more power

PLEASE tell me it has a MANUAL Transmission. Cool car !

I prefer my toys to have the right number of seats (2) to avoid having to haul brats.
I even considered having my license plate read "NOBRATS".

Over 450hp at the rear wheels and about 900lbs less than a Challenger.
Better power/weight than any Challenger other than the Hellcat but I can put all my power down to the pavement with stock width street-legal tires.

TWO HUNDRED + mph top speed.
Gets over 30mpg on the freeway between 80 and 90mph.

Thinking about adding an Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger, but am afraid it would ruin my mpg and force an even stouter clutch than the Z06 unit I have installed.

Totally different cars. I wanted a good looking muscle car that could be a daily driver, not a sportscar. I have need to take four adults, I have need for a full size trunk. The challenger fits the bill. there are always people with more horsepower. I've never been taken with the look of the corvette, performance aside. Point is if you love it that's all that counts.
