I have the optional Good Year all season tires ( 20 inch ) . And since I traded my 07 Quad Cab 1500 4x4 and a 06 Mazda MX-5 in on the Challenger . I did get out in the first big ice ( 3 inch's ) storm with a few inch's of snow on it . It did much better than I expected it to do . I was very careful and drove slow . But everyone one else was going very slow . It did better than my wife's 300C does. I think the 6 speed help's alot and the pos. But I'm retired and don't have to get out. My wife just had a knee replacement . So I will leave the Challenger in the garage on those nasty day's for awhile. It is such a relief knowing I can shift to 2nd and not worry about it being blocked out and having to go to 4th . This forum is a big help.

whylee , I know how you feel . The Tored Red look's good also. I got mine off the showroom floor . A 6 speed Black R/T with silver stripe on hood to fender. They had it marked up $4,400.00 over sticker. But I paid MSRP As a 6 speed owner my self the first thing you will want to do is order the skip shift harness from Speed.inc that eleminates the block on the 1st gear to 2nd and forces you to go to 4th. I put one on mine a few day's ago . And best thing I've done so far . It still shows the 1-4 in the dash . But you can shift as you please. Total cost including shipping was $28.18 .

After what seemed like forever haggling with the dealer to drop the dealer mark-up, they finally called me and dropped it.
I bought my 09 Tored, 6 speed R/T this evening.
I could only drive it home and get it garaged because there is snow on the ground and more on its way. But at least its mine, and I can look at it anytime I want.
I will be doing that soon, I guess it has not bothered me much yet since it has been snowing since the day I brought it home. Its killing me not driving it.
