Thanks for the kind words on the Jeep. I laughed the first time somebody told how well they handled. I had to test drive it twice to believe it. And it is a monster... I think its hysterical that we can buy a vehicle like that off the showroom floor.

Thanks for backing me up on being "bang on the money"... that's a great phrase! Cars are built for purposes. We've got an '83 911SC. It's a Guards Red cabriolet and looks like its going 100 mph when its parked... but with 185 hp it's no drag race machine... a stock 530i would give it a good run. I've told many "mine's faster" muscle car drivers I'd be glad to race them on any track that involves braking & turning too!

Great to hear from a Porsche guy that's a car enthusiast and not an elitist. I think you represent the silent majority of P-car drivers!

 

I know the "original" GTOs and such were re-badged/stripped family sedans with big engines, but I have been in 60's and 70s Camaros, Firebirds and Boss Mustangs, and I can honestly say that they had things like three-spoke steering wheels, real manual transmissions, and bucket seats that at least looked sporty. They may have been made from plastic, but at least they didn't look like a minivan. The interior of that Challenger is just plain sad.

 

SRT8 is a great value. Fully loaded under $50k. 0-60 under 5 seconds, definitely a monster SUV.

 

This is no muscle car interior. Rather its a 2004 interior found in all Chargers, 300s, Magnums and anything else they can fit it in. Its not functional, nor is it comfortable. Go rent a Charger or a 300 and you will find, this is no muscle car interior. It is far from that. Its just a plain old Chrysler interior, nothing more.
