Test drove A new Chally 392.........

[GearheadSS]

The new 392s are very impressive. The previous years are terrible performers for the price. That said, I think a Challenger R/T Classic is one of the best looking cars on the road.

Great looking cars, I had a 2008 Charger with lots of mods and I almost purchased the Challenger but I wanted to try the Camaro first!

My 393 looks something like that

I seen a 392 Challenger yesterday at al local car show. blue with the white stripes. looks great but for 50k it better be faster than the camaro stock. I still love the looks of the Challengers. Camaros better

[ZenitramSS]

That's crazy!!! I still have some Intertia 5.7 Heads and a Crower CAM if you know of anyine that can use them.

Sorry for the Thread Jack!

they build them drunk because they drive them drunk

[bmwdon]

no thanks, only thing that needs replacement on the car is the diff, and a ford 9" irs is beyond my means at the moment everything else is built or tweaked already

Give me $$ figures and we can get those parts listed on LX, you'ld be able to sell them off there pretty quick I would think.

Local dealer says he could put me into the 392 manual for $43,500. Not bad when you consider a fully tricked out 2SS is now near 40K, the Challenger SRT8 392 comes standard with a great access package.

At that price I would definitely entertain the idea and at least ask if you can take one out on a spirited test drive to see if can put a smile on your face and is enough for you to trade in your SS.

You have to agree that the new 392 special car and is in a different class then a stock SS. I just dont see the SS as being a special sort of car anymore especially since any old person can go rent one at the local air port. Sure it can be modified to suit your taste but I like the exclusivity of a GT500, 392 SRT-8 and ZL1 and that is why I saved up just a little but more and went for the exclusive flagship model because that's the sort of person I am. I dont want to have to play catch up and wish I would of sprung for the higher end model and is constantly looking to put those pieces on my lower end model. All of you SS owners will soon feel the sting once you start to see ZL1's on the streets.

I agree the 392 is a very mean car and is unique as it's a limited number build for now. The SS is still kind of rare in this neck of the woods, most here prefer turbo diesel pickups, I think there may be a half dozen Camaros in the County most are LT models. The Challenger appeals to me as it has seating for 5, with three children and my Wife, taking a family cruise in the Camaro is a no go.

My wife and I both had Challenger R/T's before I traded mine in on the 2SS Camaro. She said I was a traitor... oh well.. I like my camaro.

Spoiler issues ... sometimes folks order the spoilers that way. The SRT8 spoiler was only in black if I remember right and the R/T ones were painted to match the car.

My dealer also said there was an SRT package (like the RS package on Camaro) that gave you SRT door panels and SRT labeling on the leather seats even though the car was not an SRT8 model. I saw a base model SE V6 Challenger that had the SRT treatment and SRT wheels at Lamdini's University Dodge here in S. Florida.

The 392 is a heck of a car. It's also up there in price... around $10k+ more than a comparably equipped Camaro.

The thing that hooked me is the value for the money on the Camaro. We bought both R/T challengers at the same time so we did get a deal on them but still... they had no brembo brakes, looser suspension, less hp, same / similar gas mileage and it's a heavier car, but the Challenger has more room, more trunk room for sure, and is more comfortable.

So there you go. I've driven the 392. It's a nice car and it's well equipped.

Why are you getting ready to sell the SS?
