Yes, it's a stick. I haven't been this excited about a car in a long time!

The Challenger looks absolutely massive next to it, lol

Glad to see you got a Mopar. I'm restoring a '66 Dodge Coronet. I've always been partial to Mopar. (Though I DD a Focus ST)

Every a-hole on the planet has a Camaro or Mustang. It's a special person to choose Mopar. Plus, I can actually fit my kids in it, because enormous.

Ha, that's actually why I went with a 66 Coronet and not some two seater roadster. It's a two door hardtop but it's longer than my wife's Honda Pilot. Can bring my wife and daughter with

Gorgeous! Love the tint.

Whats your thoughts/comments about the quality and layout/design of the interior (considering it being a modern car and all).

Any thoughts about giving the ride height an inch or two of drop or are your current conditions preventing such a modification?

Love the Challenger, best looking of the current 3 muscle cars.

Looks awesome.

I'm jealous.

It's supposed to look like an old muscle car. It does. It's very basic inside, but has everything you need. The seats are very cushiony, with no side bolsters, like they're designed for a middle aged fat guy (they are).

iPhone integration is not too hot, but this is a 2009 model. It has some odd 16 pin printer type port that you plug into in the center console, with all of about 8 inches of cable. Bluetooth synced up ok, but phone book won't upload, so pretty much useless for outgoing calls. I'm not complaining though, this is a car for the driving experience, not for tech geeks.

That would be nice, this car is crazy tall. I would bet it rides higher than most crossovers. I'll probly leave it stock, but who knows.

I wouldnt expect much in terms of tech, but i guess i should have rephrased. The quality. How does it feel. Do you get that cheapy rental car plasticy feel? Or is the atmosphere a nice comfortable, money well spent, feeling.

Thats my main beef with some of the mid range mustangs and camaros. They still have a cheapy feel to them.

16pin printer type port.... Ipod connector?

Nice! Looks great, and I bet it's fun to drive.

I would say it leans more toward cheapy than premium quality. It's not so much cheap though, as it is just basic. I do think it's better than both the camaro and stang. Going from my 05 STS to this def feels like a step down in quality, but a step up in bad-assedness.

badass for sure. Get yourself a nice exhaust and some individualized wheels, and youll have a slick little moparrocket.

It's pretty funny how large these things are. I have a 300, and a friend of mine has 2 daughters: you can fit three car seats in the back with room to buckle each of them easily! She has a full size Explorer, and you really have to push, pull, and pretty much tetris them into place to make them fit, and once they are there, the kids are smashed in shoulder to shoulder.
