I had one. They are over rated.
They are just too damn heavy. You can really feel everyone of it’s 4200lbs.
You would probably be much happier with something like a Nissan 370Z. 332hp and 3230lbs. it’s would have roughly the same power to weight ratio but would be WAY more nimble.

They did not make a white SRT in 2010. They only started offering white in 2011 when they went to the 6.4 instead of the 6.1

TWO??? I’m surprised you didn’t learn after the first one. I had one and it was enough for me.

2010, and. 2011. Every thing electrical from the starter to the airbag was having issues. I was in the shop 21 times at least in about 10 months, mostly for the airbags. In the 10 months I owned the 2011, I maybe was able to drive it about 6 of those. It was hunk of junk. I know I covered this in a early podcast episode in detail; I can probably find my notes somewhere if you’d like to see the blow by blow of the break downs

nah it’s fine. what models were yours?
and considering I’m cross-shopping it with a used C63 AMG, I can easily say that reliability is only second last on my list of things that are important, right above MPG's

keep in mind that if I buy one, I’d be buying a new scat pack. I know they’re big heavy cruisers, but that’s what I’m looking for.
To shed some light, I’m cross-shopping it with my other dream car, the C63 AMG.

Both were R/Ts, well if you have the time and money to deal with it, challengers do attract a lot of attention, And are great highway cruisers.

yeah, I’m aiming for a scat pack, so hopefully those don’t suffer from any major issues.
and that’s what I’m aiming for: something that can stop a show, and then proceed to go 450 miles on the freeway easily

Well I drove across the country and back in mine, great car for that. More of a gt car turn a true muscle car.
Beware dodge electrics. It's a good thing fiat is known for its great electrical work...

it will be a blast, I enjoyed the hell out of my trip. Just prepare for the worst, and enjoy it when it doesn't happen. When the trip happens make sure you drop me a line

I agree that’s what I bought mine too. But it really is worst in the corners than you would think. When a stock 1.6L Ford Fusion on economy tires(what I drive now) can out handle the shit out of the Challenger you realise just how bad the Challenger really is.
on a twisty mountain road(where you enjoy cars the most) your GLI would run circles around a scat pack.
As a highway cruiser the Challenger is brilliant at anything not so much.
The car is nowhere near as good as what you are imagining it to be right now.
