[THE EVIL TW1N]

The sales manager told me that I was only allowed to drive the car with the salesman (leaving my two friends at the dealership), and that I was to stay off the highway and let the salesman drive it off the lot and switch seats with him once we were out of the lot. I should have walked out when the first salesman started arguing with me, but I just kept smiling and nodding my head. So finally I get to drive this thing. Now, it was only the R/T, not the SRT, but it had the 5.7L Hemi, and the first salesman said that compared to the Camaro this car was better, "hands down". YA RIGHT! I did not like the Challenger one bit. The exterior is beautiful, but the interior is a typical Dodge interior, and is wayyyyyy to bland for me. The motor didn't produce NEAR enough power for the heavy car, and the steering felt unresponsive. The brakes seemed to work well, but I just wasn't getting a warm feeling from it. So after tooling around on the access road -- the only place they allowed me to drive it -- I took it back to the lot and told the salesman I would contact him if I was looking to buy one. Thursday I'm going out to my Chevy dealer, and talking to my salesman there about ordering a 2011. I've driven the Mustang GT, the Challenger R/T, and the Camaro SS, and the Camaro had me from the very beginning. I've always been a GM guy, and I guess I always will be!

since you are open minded, you should wait to check out the 2011 GT seeing as how they'll be out soon now.
