I hate the challenger. In fact, I hate every dodge. I drive 2006-2010 dodge 2500 6.7 turbo diesels at work quite a lot. I wrecked a 2008 Dodge Charger R/T with the interceptor package chasing an alien smuggler. I HATE DODGE. I hate how over priced they are.
I used to SMOKE the charger r/t's in my RSX at qualcomm all the time and on hwy 94 I could take turns faster as well and I loved how angry theyd get because of it. Dodge cars are too expensive for what you get.
At the academy we drove both the Charger R/T and Ford Crown Vic with the interceptor package and many of us posted faster times with the crown vics because the chargers were horrible in the turns. Of course with a better driver the charger would win. I can give great reviews on how Dodge trucks compare to other American truck among the same class since we beat the crap out of them every day.
I think the challenger is ugly, and way too heavy for its own good. The Z definetely gets more attention. I have come out of the mall in downtown san diego and found douchers touching my car, and getting close to it, attempting to mount it or something. Even at work I have to lock the doors because my co-workers are douchers and open the doors and sit in it.
We should really all hail the Z for being the best bang for the buck car out there.
