There's been no comments on how any of the Challengers would perform on roads with snow or ice. I've heard the rare wheel drive Chrysler 300 is not very good, so I assume they would be comparable.

My 06 Charger R/T was terrible the one time I drove it in the snow. Thank god I have my 01 Dakota 4X4 so my Chally can stay safe in the garage.

My 2006 Charger was also not very good. But after I added some sand bags to the truck, it was a little better. I plan on trying a few different ideas with my chally.

I have you all beat.....currently I have a Mustang GT. If you want an "interesting" ride in the snow/ice, try one of these out

I can't wait till my Chally gets here

You have to have the right tires. All seasons are no good in snowy conditions. Good snow tires all around will make a big difference.

Thanks for the tips on the sandbags & tires. I've seen demos and test drive reports on the SRT8 and it mentioned being able to turn off the traction control. Does anyone know if the RT has the same feature? I have a 1988 Celica GT convertible that I store in the winter. My plan is to sell that in spring and go for the Challenger RT.

I have a deal set up for a Spring Special when and if it becomes available, but I stopped by another Dodge dealer yesterday that I was driving by because I saw a few Challengers on the lot. They had one RT and one loaded SRT. They wanted $8k over sticker as a markup on both. Of course, they also wanted a markup on the 2008 Super Bee still sitting on the lot. The sales representative had no idea what a Spring Special was. In contrast, when I walked into the other dealership with which I set up the deal for the Spring Special, they were falling all over themselves to make a sale.

So what's the pricing of the spring special? By the time I get one it will be spring anyway, I might hold out.

There's aways the Mustang GT...and it comes in a convertible. Why build a great car and get greedy on the price?
