i have repainted a few because of poor factory paint..fun in a straight line, not so much in the turns.

I really like the Challenger in black, it looks plain evil. IMO it has a bad ass look that your not going to get from the Camaro or the Mustang.

Spot on!! My wife has a Magnum R/T AWD.

When I had the opportunity to drive a Challenger in August, the first thing I noticed was that the interior was virtually identical to the Magnum with the same automatic transmission.

The car handled the same with more straight-line power, but it is effectively a re-skinned Magnum (or, for that matter, Charger). Carroll Shelby would call it a "lead sled".

I like the challenger, check out Hennessey Performance Engineering - Home Page they have a nice one on there...

I need a challenger in my collection, an srt8 or srt10 if it ever comes out.

I have a special feeling for them since I have the Magnum Srt-8. By far the best dollar for HP on the market. Agreed- they are heavy but if you can, try to make it to the SRT track day and let the guys show you (with your own car) what the Srt-8's can do! Aftermarket is still high for the 6.1L Hemi. If you can wait there is rumor of a 6.4L 500hp Hemi coming down the line for 2010.
