Miatas and S2k's are lighter, sure, but I'm referring more to suspension than anything else. Z's feel small and tight and have vurry responsive suspension. Mustangs can as well, but in the one ride I had in a Stang (some f*cking nutjob drove me around), it just felt bigger.

Now, because I'm a Z fanboy, I'm going to take back the nice things I've said and say that a Stang isn't a sports car because of SRA. There. See what you've done now?

lolol

I'd actually class the new mustang and the Z together before I classed the Z with miata's or S2k's. The Z just feels a lot heavier and less connected to the road, and I think the guys at Ford have really caught up with the current stang.

I just drove a Z4 for a few days (not the most recent gen, but the one before it). I was surprised with how much more responsive its suspension and steering was than the Z, and I think it's in that same class with the S2k and Miata. But I still feel more connected in the Z than in the Mustang or Camaro (which is like the Queen Mary, so I can't imagine how a Challenger feels)

Like a truck. It's actually cool feeling if you don't need to handle twisties.

Challenger is a SWEET cruiser. It actually has some decent skidpad numbers for a car that size but it doesn't really handle transitions too well. But for cruising it is a badass car.

They might be putting the Viper engine into the Challenger, that would be sick!

They actually have done this before, back in 2008 at SEMA.

But I was just reading that the Drag Pak is going to be released, but for the cost of a GTR. 85k buys you a v10 Challenger, but only if you're one of the lucky 70 that gets your hands on one.

Oh, and it comes with a 2-speed automatic transmission and weighs in at 3200 lbs. This is a drag strip toy and nothing more.

damnnnn, $$$

Sibze 02-17-2011 11:04 AM
wtf, 2 speed auto???

[IMG]Just 70 copies will be built, each commanding a cool $85,512. There are three options: For $7950, Mopar will add a roll cage, safety harnesses, and mesh windows. If you want the car painted any color other than primer white, cough up $6700; the Mopar wrap decals seen here cost an additional $950.[/IMG]

Yeah, most dedicated drag-racing cars use a 2-speed automatic.

I'd put a corvette engine in a 370z if I had the engine.
