The F150 is a '97 with the 6 cylinder engine so it's kind of underpowered as well. I probably will not drive my Challenger but 2-3 days per week so that will probably factor in. I did test drive the Charger that has one of those hybrid (or that's how they pitch it) transmissions. Thanks for all the input...good stuff!
What? Who told you that? None of the LX cars have a hybrid system. If they are refering to those stupid CVTs that are common in Hybrids, then they are lying. The only Chrysler group vehicle that has those CVTs are the Caliber/Compass/Patriot. The Charger has the W5A580 5-speed automatic designed by Mercedes (though I think I read it was based off of a ZF design). It is just an ordinary automatic.
Maybe they were saying that because the Charger has an autostick which allows you to select which gear to drive in (up to a point unfortuneatly).
