RE: Backup Car?
I plan to continue driving my 2 luxurious Infinitis as daily drivers with or without the Challenger - this would keep the Challenger out of the rain, keep it low miles, etc.
I started my mid-life itch a few tears ago with a strong consideration for a new(er) Mustang, but with the announcement of the Challenger, I decided to return as close to my first love (my 71 Cuda w/balanced & blueprinted 440) as realistically can be afforded. The thought of new technology for reliability and the lack of spare workshop or time to build make this decision #1.
My second musclecar choice would be a toss up between the Mustang and the new Camaro - and either would really be a comprimise I'm not very keen on. My brother has a Viper, it's a great/fun car but expensive and requires you to be on the ball all the time - car loves to swap ends.
