I will tell you what. I have been researching cars for almost a year now and have NO idea what I am going to buy around the beginning of 2012. NO IDEA.
I was DECIDED on a Mustang 5.0, but then looked at the features of the R/T Classic, and loved the interior, push start, sound system, transmission, and looks of the car. I almost did a deal prematurely.
I just recently drove the 2011 Charger R/T Road and Track, and LOVED it. It seems more practical, but less fun since there is no 6-spd. And the optional features are AMAZING! However, the exhaust stock sounds no where near the Challenger's.
On top of all that, the Mustang GT still out preforms the Dodges in every number they put down (0-60, 1/4 mile, braking, handling, gas milage) but they don't have the options like the Dodges and I don'think the interior quality is as high. The only Dodge that comes close is the SRT8 392, and I can't (won't) afford that. I need (want) to be under 35k and this is a DD for a 30 mile one-way commute. So I want 25mpgs on the freeway.
To add more confusion, I have a friend who works at Chrysler Corporate that can give me the friends and family discount.
Holy crap. This is the hardest decision I have ever had to make (probably). I just want to get something I will be happy with for a long time. I am having a new house built this year and getting married. She LOVES the Challenger. It's her favorite car.
Why can't the R/T have the performance of the Mustang? LOL. That would make things much simpler...
K. I'm done rambling.
