Default RE: First Look: 2009 Dodge Challenger

Seems there are a couple of touch ups on the interior also. The center with the radio and climate controls look a little different. The heated seats button looks blue, though it may just be the picture because it wouldn't make any sense why they would be blue unless they are heated and cool seats, but it still looks cool, no pun intended. The only thing that really still kills this for me is that steering wheel. If it were simple to just change it out then I wouldn't complain, but getting nailed by an airbag while trying to take it apart, not to mention probably illegal, just doesn't sound like fun. Paying someone to do it is probably outrageously expensive. Definitely can't complain as bad though.

The tires, I have to agree. The biggest size I would go is 18, after that they look huge and out of place. They also make for some bad traction in the snow since snow tires don't come cheap as you get bigger and bigger. I don't need Z rated tires on this thing, there is just no way I'm going to be near 100+ miles an hour. Not sure why they do that. I like to know that I can do the speed, by the speedometer is just fine with me, I don't need to know that my tires have the cost and the ability to do it. Isn't that sending the wrong message and or government would normally frown on it? Actually, I kind of like that idea, but I still don't need Z rated tires. lol.
