Favorite Muscle Car

[C47]

Yes I know they're not technically "muscle" cars....

 

I see Biscuit has good taste....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a short list....

Thank you C47... :)

That's what's so great about the GTR is insane acceleration and pricewise (compared to those other supercars) it's cheap.

Yeah, if I was going to buy a supercar it would definitely be a GTR.  There's also enough of them on the road that you don't have to worry about people gawking at your car, and some dbag deciding to key it for no reason...

Y'all are pushing the exotic range! I'm assuming he's talking about sales floor models.

 

This is a bad car!

 

I test drove this car this morning...it's really really nice!

 

last night though, I drove it's big brother the SRT, and it's just plain ass crazy fast!!  I punched it doing about 50 miles per hour with the traction control off and the back end broke loose and it jumped to about 80 in what seemed half a second.  Crazy crazy fast.

Seems that Hawky has a new toy to play with... Bastard.

lol...yes...I broke down and just said screw it...it's only money!!

 

2011 SRT8...5500kms...about 3500 miles for you Americanos!  They only made 1492 of them in 2011 with the big motor and 392 of those were for Canada...so they acually numbered them up here...not sure about the 1100 that went to the states??  263 of 392.  This isn't the actual car, but it looks exactly like this!

Hawk, do those come with a manual?

[Darth Biscuit]

Hawk couldn't read it if it did. :)

Wise decision Hawk. Love the Challengers, I am very jealous.

Not what I meant boob boy.

[Hawk]

lol...I am sure it comes it a pure 6 speed manual.

 

Mine is the best of both worlds in my opinion...it's an automatic with a slap stick...and it will hold every gear regardless of the rpm...until you are slowing down, then it will down shift...but not even out of first with the rpm going up...if that makes sense?

 

in 2012 they went to the wheel mounted paddles

[88 Bronco]

It does. I have such a short attention span I have to have a manual. Automatic driving is boring to me.

Not that it matters given this is a muscle car thread, but what are you getting on the MPG on that Challenger Hawk?

[Hawk]

I am not sure at this point yet...haven't put enough miles on it and haven't played with the settings enough to see if it tells me!

 

this is a weird one for me...in the past, I've always just driven what I bought...and now I'm already afraid putting miles on it etc.  I've never had anything that was even remotely limited before!
