Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
New member here...
I built a 2012 Charger Super Bee like a Mopar version of a Z28. Lots of carbon fiber, giant Stillen AP Racing brakes, Eibach R2 coil overs, billet control arms, etc... It was also a stripped down model, so it made sense. Did some OTD events that were pretty fun, but it's hard pushing 2 tons+ around a road course. I've owned it since it was new. And I never thought that I would get rid of her. |

But, then I found 2015 #440 and I pulled the trigger. It's literally night and day.

My wife misses the doors and automatic trans (she can't drive a manual) but I got the OK from her because she literally only drove the Charger twice in three+ years.

I thought 392 cubic inches was a bunch... 427 is a whole other level. This car literally is always on the edge of grip. Never had that issue with the Charger even though it was "only" 470hp/470tq. The GM is much faster, and corners infinitely better. |

Awesome upgrade. My last car was a '15 Challenger Scat Pack, and I agree with everything you said. The Challenger was good, but the Z is on a completely different planet. Looks wise too, it's not even close.
