Title: Dodge Challenger SRT8
Post by: Azzurri on June 19, 2012, 04:15:44 PM
Just bought this American muscle car...and....wow!!!!

My BMW 650i convert. has been in the garage for close to 5 days, now...; started her up Sunday just to make sure she would still crank.

Specs on the Challenger (at least, the ones I care about): 

The Challenger SRT8 392 gets a Hemi 6.4-liter V8 that produces 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic is standard and a six-speed manual is available with the Track Pak. In Edmunds testing, a manual-equipped SRT8 392 went from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Fuel mileage estimates are 14/22/16 for the automatic, with the manual getting about 1 mpg less.

Top speed 180mph....zoom..

Azz, I never took you for an American car buyer- but nice ride!  Did you trade in, or just add another to the stable?

Pretty.  I'll admit to a little jealousy!

Now that's a good looking beast! Can't go wrong with a Hemi V8.

One question:
When are you taking that bad boy on a road trip to Vegas?

I present the 2012 BMW 650i convertible...change to Vossen wheels and slightly larger 20's from 275's to 295's to fill out more of the wheel base...

Thanks, Migs...

The two rides are so extraodinarily different!

The SRT8 is just burly...

The BMW 650 is subtle but deceptively fast and quick...
