so long TL, hello american muscle.

i traded my car in this weekend,for an orange R/T challenger. (left)

it had 41K miles and i left all the mods on the car during trade in because i didnt have enough time to part it out (i found out the morning i was trading it in without much notice) i got 16K for trade in.

heres some pics of the new car + my parents ride.

the new car already has a true dual 40 series flowmaster exhaust (done last monday) and i had the hood stripes put on today (like my dads which is in the middle)






my editing program is down and i didnt have much sun light so please dont mind the boring pics.
IMO i like my moms car better than mine or my dads mainly because of the color,but this is a limited color and it is the only one within 1500 miles of our home (we did a dealer search)

enjoy!

handles great in mountain turns,the auto stick is much easier to get used to even tho i preferred manual before,(which my tl was).

i dont regret getting the auto stick one bit..now i can be lazy when i want! lol


its a very smooth ride,not bumpy or rattly like my tl started to get after about 35K miles.

nice. love the challenger.... with cars like these, i dont understand why dodge/chrysler is bankrupt now

Low 13s at 107mph, you could toy with the TL, let it catch you and the floor it and leave it over and over.

well i havent taken it on seriously tight mountain turns,but i have a decent mountain climb to get to my town for about 6-8 miles,and i can easily do 90mph and not feel sketchy.

ive also driven the SRT8 on a track,and i was very impressed even tho its a heavy bitch

yah no joke lol. my car is a little slower than the srt,ill admit (about 70 hp or so) and theres a few interior differences (diff seats and stitching and thats it)

everything else is optional. mine has everything but nav (which i regret,but am going to just buy later)

it has push button start,leather interior,bluetooth cd player,sunroof,heated seats, and in all honesty,i like my seats better than my dads because im a big guy and i dont fit in his very well cause theyre so bolstered. but his look cooler cause theyre leather and suede.

edit: one thing i really hate is the SRT is an inch lower than mine,so it makes me want to trade out suspension from someone who lowered their SRT because it looks much better with that 1 inch drop

Sick man but you can't let your pops one up with with his SRT8 you shoulda got an SRT8 also! Haha you probably didn't want to spend the extra money though which I understand. Anyways all of them look sick I love the pics. Your dads is a beast though, I test drove one of thoe SRT8s holy shit so much raw power. Any plans to mod it? I guess you can always get a blower down the road and show your dad whats up haha!

Nice looking cars; definitely better than the Camaro and Mustang IMO. I agree about the drop. It would look great about an inch lower.

Good choice bro! I'd trade my TL in a drop of a hat for the Challenger! But Chicago winters blow!

It looks better with the stripes on the hood. Is your mom planning to do the same?

I don't like the look of the challenger, so I would love to see what you can do with it. I prefer the look of the Charger more.

Enjoy the power output the TL didn't have.

I've thought about the new Challengers, Camaro and my fav Mustang. I average just over 400 miles per week. IMO my Type-S is a happy medium.

Congrats on the new purchase!

Very nice ride...definitely there's some pizzazz behind that car, but maybe it's cause you don't see many on the road. Like when the mustang first went retro! There are a few on 22's down here in SF that are lowered and look very very mean. Great looking cars.

I would opt for a coilover application, if they make one and give the car that raked look it's dying for!
