What's with the yellow things on the splitter? Are they part of the package or just there to protect the ankles of potential buyers?
Those are for shipping purposes and are supposed to be removed when the owner takes delivery. Many people have decided to leave them on as they do protect that spliiter. I know it looks hideous but you can always paint them black I guess.Quote:

I do love the way it looks tho.
I love it for all the same reasons also agree thats a buncha cha ching.
Why the fuck is there a $2500 destination charge for a car made in Brampton? $1000 Green Levy charge, LMFAO!
The destination charge will be the same pretty much anywhere in the country, doesn't matter how close to the assembly plant you are.Quote:

Damn thats a nice car!!!!!! :D
Sweet car. There's a black one out this way that I checked out when we bought my wife's new Jeep.
Same price puts you into a GT350 and IMO is more of an all around car.
can only go straight? Id say thats a bit of a stretch.Quote:

i wont pretend that I have driven one, but having watched every review I can find on the car I would agree it seems the 350 is more of an all around car. I dont think there is a better or worse between the two. just different.Quote:

people can go on and on about the handling and feel of the gt350, but cruising down the 407 I bet you sure dont want a hellcat to show up and ruin your feel good party lol
Personally I would be more than happy with either car, heck even my coworkers srt-8 is more than enough fun for me on the street.
Having spent much of the day Monday starring at a gt350 parked in a row with other s550s down by burlington beach, the untrained eye really wouldnt even think the gt350 is anything special. "just another mustang". which I guess is a bit of a let down for some I suppose.
A lateral G is how well the car sticks on the skidpad but doesn't include transitioning from side to side or while braking. At 4500lbs (Hellcat), it's a very, very big car and that weight would be very hard to get under control on a road course, so it's not a stretch at all.Quote:

The Viper is discontinued after this year so cannibalization will no longer be an issue anymore.
For that money I can be behind the wheel of a sweet used Porsche

I hear ya that its not the greatest road course car, but lots of guys are still doing lap days fine. its heavy, but its not like you are driving a station wagon. pretty sure a hellcat has been around every major road course in north america by now.Quote:

But don't get me wrong... I absolutely love the current Challenger. It's the best looking muscle car available right now imo. I priced out a Challenger Scat Pack before I got my current Mustang. Just a great looking car. I ultimately went with the Mustang because I just thought it would overall be a more versatile car for my purposes.
sorry but for the money, I'd rather buy a used Tesla S, Used Maserati Ghibli... or even a twin turbo 4.0 V8 Audi S6 and have enough money left over for that 35k yellow fox 'vert :D But I'm not into big girls by any means... and certainly not a huge Dodge fan so I may be biased.
