2016 Challenger R/T

[Panzerman]

We got my wife a 2016 Challenger left over. She took it to North Carolina with my daughter and she was getting 25-26 mile to the gallon too and is getting 15-16 around town in it. It's the 6.4 Hemi with a automatic. I am really impressed. 485 hp and that kind of gas mileage.
It's her daily driver and so far she loves it.

VERY nice!!! Congratulations!

This has the "super track pack" with the 1/2" lower suspension, optional brake pads, etc. It really handles well for something its size. I would say on par with my wife's 2010 Mustang GT.


How much does your car weigh ?

 

[Panzerman]

I think Mustangs are headed more to the Sports car rating, they get smaller, lighter and start putting twin turbo four cylinder engines in them while the Challenger remains a true muscle car. A big car with a big engine. Actually the size of the Challenger appealed to us because we like a big car and have no care about track competitive.
It's big, it's Powerful and it's fun to drive and be bad in.

Yes, I use it to run around town and haul the dogs.



Actually I misread the question. I'm keeping the Mustang, not selling it.

I think they weigh a little over 4,000#.

aaarggg; that shift lever just killed my eyes :-(
Was the interior guy on the vacation when Chrysler decided to put manual transmission in this car?
It says "FU" to the owner.

It's certainly not a work of art, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with it.

Very nice! Love the color.

Hurst Shifter

I didn't particularly like the shifter either. I didn't really think it was ugly, but it's short and my arm hits my cans of pop in the cup holder when I'm shifting so I ordered this. I did like the leather wrapping on the stock shifter, though.

 

[Vikas]

It is mostly personal preference but BMW, Boxster or Honda usually have classy and understated shift knob/stalk/leather design. There might others too.

The extreme angle of the stalk makes it look like it was installed crookedly BUT the car looks absolutely stunning, must be a blast to drive and suffices to say I am jealous.

 

[Silverado12]

The angle looks funny because I parked it in first gear since I live on a hill. My neighbor almost lost a Toyota pickup when he just used the brake and it didn't hold. I'm paranoid now and use first gear + brake.

What luxury. And many here have never experienced the amazing smoothness of a new gen Hemi. They are also amazingly efficient, too.

Wait till you get your Diablosport...
