I miss my Challenger.

I traded my Challenger SRT-8 for my current Mustang GT 5.0 in June of 2010.
I really wish I hadn't done it. Nothing wrong with the Mustang, I just enjoyed the Challenger much, much more.
Sorry, I had to vent.

LOL, I don't have any idea. The only "mod" I have done to it is Tires/Wheels/Window Lovers and Flowmasters.

So what is difference? I thought the GT5.0 is king in both drag and road course racing. Tons of power and handle great too.

I thought abuot trading my SRT-8 Grand Cherokee for the new Mootang but am glad I haven't. Nothing like having all that power and still be able to carry your wife, your Labradoodle, and all of your groceries.... comfortably.

I am trying not to buy 2 new cars every year and a half, like I have been doing. I am now trying to pace myself. So here I am in "new car" withdrawals jonesing for a car that I used to have.
