Re: '09 Challenger R/T Gathered Specs / Equipment & Info Related
Yea mushier probably was a bit too harsh, but it is a bit disappointing that the Challenger isn't second only to the Viper amongst Dodge performance vehicles.
I've noticed that people are wondering about competing with the new Camaro. If the Camaro is about the same size/weight as the Mustang or previous GTO, then the Challenger isn't going to be in the same league given it's size/weight disadvantage. An SRT would match the standard bowtie/blue oval offerings, but the R/T would be struggling. That sucks.
Ragamuffin,
Yup the orig Challengers were definitely more fun than the B Body cars of the day. And they held their own against the competition too, torsion bars or not. Especially the 340 powered cars with front and rear sway bars.....made for a good time on a twisty road.
