Re: Challenger Road Tests/Reviews

I can live with these few quirks..
The interior lacks a couple of features you should take for granted in a car this price, however. There's no memory function for the seats and mirrors, the tilt and telescoping steering wheel is manual rather than power, and the keyless pushbutton start does not have a feature to automatically lock and unlock the car when you walk away and as you approach it. Many new vehicles with keyless ignition share this shortcoming. The sporty looking leather seats could also use a more scooped-out bottom cushion to secure occupants during aggressive maneuvers, and the serving-platter-sized steering wheel is too big and badly out of place in a high-performance car with such fast and responsive steering.

Consumer Guide scorecard for 2008 SRT8.

2008 Dodge Challenger - Consumer Guide Automotive

For a 'consumer' site, more positive than I expected...

Re: Challenger Road Tests/Reviews

One of the best clips I've found. A comparison with the Bullitt Mustang. Enjoy.

Re: Challenger Road Tests/Reviews

in terms of stock against stock, other than the GT500, there is no mustang to keep up with this car. Thats a blow out by far.
