Challenger R/T Road Test
Car Domain car blog had a great road test of the 2009 Challenger R/T. See is an excerpt and a link to the full article:
"Everyone who's driven our 5.7 L hemi Challenger agrees that this car is dying to be out on the open road—with its girth, its power, and its interior visibility issues, this Mopar just isn't very happy in the city. Dugging around in second gear at 30 mph is torture—this car just wants to go! So I picked up my boy Chris and we hit the road for the Oregon coast, one of the most awesome stretches of highway in the world. The Challenger agreed—and once it was out of traffic and out of sight of the law, the car was more fun than I ever could've imagined..."

RE: Challenger R/T Road Test
Nice writeup, except for him getting weirded out by the hill-holder feature - I actually find it quite refreshing.
Plus, gotta love the Inferno Red, the car in the pics is identical to the one I just got.

"More refined brand of badassery" that quote made me crack up, I love it.... Yeah Inferno is a sharp and classy color... but you can't go wrong with BLACK...

RE: Challenger R/T Road Test
Then there are the classic words of wisdom zach09000 was kind enough to share with us... reminding us that Dodge copied the Camaro. Hmmm... I didn"t realize the Camaro was actually produced and out in the streets yet...

Personally I feel that the Challenger is a bit of a exterior copy cat of the new Chevy Camaro, but over all It's a car that I would drive.

RE: Challenger R/T Road Test
I'm sorry, but this one is my favorite
Do I even have to say what is wrong with this post? A classic styled muscle car with a V8 and manual transmission, RWD, and high tech components isn't a real car, but a smaller, FWD, CVT, I4 or V6 is a "real car?" Also he suffers from not being able to distinguish from the lower quality models that use Japanese & Korean technology (Caliber) from the better models.
useless piece of #### like all american made cars. save your money buy a real car....go Nissan.
