EXACTLY! That's the one thing I didn't research enough when purchasing. That's really my only complaint.

I tried to explain the weight in the previous post, it just doesn't feel that heavy when you're driving it. I think that's due to the torque bias of the engine. It is VERY surprising when you stomp on the gas.

It is overpriced at MSRP though compared to the competition. I can't for the life of me figure that one out. However, I see quite a few posts of people thinking that their SS Camaro is going to be some kind of collector item and I just have to chuckle. Chevy built more Camaros in July than the Challenger sold all year. The last sales figure I saw for my car (Orange R/T 6 Speed) was around 1200 TOTAL.

Do you guys see many Challengers on the road? I don't. I guess no mods are the price you pay for exclusivity.
