Slow to kick down, not sharp or slick at all, total POS transmission, thank goodness the 10s get the V8s 5 speed auto! Yeah, not the quickest or the best handling and I would not buy a V6 in any case, but I love the feel! It abosulety feels like a 70s muscle car with a modern suspension, modern steering, and modern brakes, LOVE IT, just not the V6 LOL And are dealers daft? The wanted 29900 for a 09 CHallenger V6 with no options an 18k miles, they also had a used 10 Camaro 1LT with 2600 miles for 34900, CRAZY!!!!!

Oh man, now go drive an R/T. You'll be blown away. Imagine all the "coolness" of the feel and ride with power that'll make you grin from ear to ear. I went out yesterday in mine and it just really makes me proud. I actually played around with a guy in a 1990s era Vette and kinda spooked him I think. He saw me behind him and started getting on it, and I just eased into the throttle enough to stay with him. Finally I pulled along side to give him a wave and he wouldn't even look at me. We ended up side by side at a light and he said "nice car, sounds awesome". The people behind us were yelling "RACE RACE" but alas he just eased out of the hole, so I did as well. I wonder if he was a little worried I might embarrass him?
