First Driving Impressions
1) The car is big, it drives much like my CLS (although the CLS is a slightly softer riding car even on the sport setting)
The suspension is firm and the car handles very well with little if any body roll in all the conditions I have driven it (500 miles highway, city and country roads).
2) The power comes on strong and consistent with a very nice exhaust growl and a beautiful burble when it shifts under full throttle.
3) The Transmission shifts strong and firm without any delay and the manumatic mode is accelerating.
4) The ESP is very good but it would be nice to break the car loose (very difficult unless you know the trick that you will all need to discover on your own) more easily.
5) The seats are tremendous, offering great support and comfort (would have been nice to have a memory on the driver’s side and a power adjustment on the passenger side though).
6) Rear seating is tight but my 14 year old and 10 year old fit in them okay (didn’t buy the car for the rear seats but it was nice that they could fit back there and be comfortable) I think my 16 year old would rather drive it though.
7) The MyGig is great and the Nav is one of the best I have used
8) Fit and Finish are excellent with consistent gapping and great interior finishing (though a little plain).
9) No squeaks rattles or other noises (other than the great engine and exhaust sounds).
10) Trunk space is huge.
11) Brake dust is as bad as a Mercedes or BMW (had to clean the wheels every 150 Miles).
In summary BUY one you won’t be disappointed.
I am 6'3" 260Lb. and the car fits great, I will post more as I drive more.
Attached is a pic of one of my neighbors sitting in the car.

Very nice. So, which one do you like better, the GT500 or the Challenger SRT8?
