Initial impressions-my "new"09 SRT

Really diggin' the car, more than any since my 78 Trans Am ! Never been a Dodge or Mopar guy but liked the Challenger from the get go. I've had my car a week and i find the combination of comfort and performance amazing. The straight line performance is awesome-yes there are faster , but not many. The handling is astounding for a 2 ton car and better than most. The BA/Kicker sound system is good enough that i wont be messing with it. I'm in the process of making the car "mine' now. i've added the rim stripes and the taillights are tinted . A couple more visual cues to set it apart and i'll be done in that arena. I want to work on the handling a bit. I realize a 4k pound car doesn't lend itself to roadcourses and jousting with M3's but it's gonna be fun to try lol I really do think this is a car I will keep for a long time and not just 3 or 4 years and trade in.

Congrats on the car and you are gonna enjoy it more and more each day. My car looks like yours except the rim stripes and I agree with moparspeed tint those side markers. Be prepared to get a LOT of attention.

My 09 R/T was a fantastic car! I like me SRT8, but bang for the buck, my 09 was a better car, I miss it!

How was your R/T a better car if you UPGRADED to an SRT8? Bigger brakes, better interior, 100 more hp, better suspension.

I believe he means he got more out of the car for the money he paid, he isn't saying it was a better car, he just got of his moneys worth with the R/T
