I have to agree with RareTA --I still have a 70 cuda that runs 11.90et@5000ft(Bandimere)--it's not fun to drive around town or down the highway. The new Challenger IS a true muscle car,very similar to the original in many ways--weight,ET,horsepower and looks.The days of tearing stuff up are over for me also--its time to enjoy a highly refined and fun to drive muscle car from DODGE--I waited a long time for this day----THANK YOU DODGE
