IMO, it doesnt look awful, but I'm also not a chevy fan usually. it actually looks pretty aggressive in all honesty.

Pretty much spot on from what I've heard elsewhere. Thanks.

I like the Challenger...assuming I can get a manual transmission. It would actually be for the wife and she just doesn't want an automatic. I've created a monster.

Pretty much the exact opposite opinion from mine. I think the Challenger looks way too big & wide, with too much overhang, and the wheels are tucked in too much. And IMO that's always been true of all Mopars, old and new.

I'll say that I don't like the Challenger and the Camaro doesn't do that much for me BUT I really happy they are on the market.

They wife actually wants the new 370Z or a Vette but we do like the Challenger although we haven't actually driven one.

My brother-in-law drove one and said it wasn't very fun to drive because it was geared for top end. This is coming form a guy who has a 911 and a 540. So

I sure love the look of the G37 though.

We may check one out just so she can drive it....well me too.

I hate to hear if it is geared that way...I know you can change the gears but I don't won't to buy a car under warranty and then start tearing it apart although I did make a few changes to the Z06 before the warranty ran out...luckily I've had no issues.

I like the 911 and 540...nice rides.

As long as you get a Hemi, you can get a 6 speed.

There are 3 SRT8's on the lot here, all with manuals... i really want to drive one!
