2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6spd stick. I bought the car Brand new Jan 25th 2011 as a leftover and I daily drove it until the end of August 2013. I put 68,000 Km's on the car (42,500 miles). I lost my licence with it once for 30days for going 168KM/h in a 100KM/h zone. This happened a month after getting the car, just about 10mins after doing a Blastin Bob's resonator delete.

Cars are made to be driven aren't they? Lets just say I made sure to get my monies worth.

Interesting. I didn't know the Challenger ever had the 6.1 Hemi, I thought it was the 6.4 from the start.

My my, That's pretty. I guess that's why you sold it for the Fusion?

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
01/06/2015 at 21:56

It had the 6.1L from 2008-2011. The 6.1L was a better looking motor but the 6.4L definitely had more pep. The 6.1L was rated at 425hp vs the 6.4L at 485hp.

Awesome car. I think the Challenger is the best looking of the 3 pony cars.

Sold the car for a garage? I can see that.

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
01/06/2015 at 22:02

at the time:

Best looking

Slowest

MOST comfortable

Worst handling.

BUT BY FAR the best daily driver out of the 3. If i was to go back I do it all over again exactly the same(except loosing the licence of course)

Man quite the contrast. Though I love land yachts. My buddy has a 77 Grand Marquis and it is fucking awesome. Like riding a cloud.

If I got one, it would have to be orange.

I put 275/40R20 Michelin Artic Alpines on it and it handles winter surprisingly well. Never got stuck with it once is the 3 winter I went thru with it.

There's so much 'Murica in this thread! Canadian 'Murica!

Seriously though, is the wife pissed or happy that the car is gone?

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > Steve in Manhattan
01/06/2015 at 22:10

I thought so too at the time but it attracts way too much negative attention. If I was to do again I would get dark grey or black .

1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

1993 Honda Civic SI Coupe (yes we all went thru that phase)

1991 Toyota Soarer (same as Lexus SC300) Twin Turbo RHD

Yup I'm French Canadian . So that explains the name, and as for the Lincoln how could someone not want such a beautiful thing.

And yes I'm pretty blessed to have such a beautiful wife.

From a financial standpoint she is happy that it's gone and honestly I'm happy too. But she misses it. It's the car I had when we first met and all our big adventures were in that Challenger.

Kailand09 > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
01/06/2015 at 22:34

Damn I've only daily driven three cars haha . That's pretty awesome.

Your favorite so far?

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > Kailand09
01/06/2015 at 22:52

For sure the Nissan Fairlady Z I should of NEVER sold that one. Not a good daily driver but an AWESOME 2nd car.

The most missed tho would 100% be the 2008 Ram 1500. It was my first ever new vehicle and it's the only one out of the bunch where I ever got sentimentally attached to.

Yeah, I think that summs it uo pretty well. I'd love to have onw. It's the closest thing to the personal luxury coupes of old, that I love so much.

Is that a 3-car garage with a house or a house that has a 3-car garage? Either way, nice!

I used to drive my 2011 Mustang 5.0 in winter. It's like any other car, when you put snow/winter tires (I got blizzak; they're expensive but it totally worth it) on it, it's gonna be fine, pretty much like in summer unless you do the idiot with it.

On the bright side, you can make it slide fairly easily on the snow without ruining the tires and I can't tell you how much fun I had doing donuts in the snow in empty parking lots.

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > shop-teacher
01/06/2015 at 23:05

I'm not ashamed to say that it is not the best track car out of the 3 but it definitely is the best car out of the 3.

You could always get yourself a 70's Lincoln Continental coupe.

Kailand09 > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
01/06/2015 at 23:06

Two good cars really. I'd love to try driving a fairlady for a day.

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > Kailand09
01/06/2015 at 23:09

I liked it more than the challenger for "spirited driving" the Fairlady really is a great car. it had less power but it was also much lighter so if my butt dyno is correct the fairlady felt faster than the Challenger.

You can call it either the garage has the exact same footprint as the house.

shop-teacher > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
01/06/2015 at 23:23

I may do that someday. What I'd really like to find, is a clean example of the car my mom had when I was a kid. An '84 Oldsmobile Delta 88 coupe, in midnight blue. If I ever find a clean one of those, I WILL buy it.

Wow, you can really tell I wrote that last post on my phone. I usually go back and fix my fat thumb errors.

168km/h in a 100km/h zone ?

if you released the handbrake you could've gone faster. LOL. ;)

I essentially just got the car and wanted to see what type of pickup she had on the highway. I shift into 4th and drop the hammer. I had my foot down for all of 10 seconds at most and notice how fast I was going so I immediately slow right back down to 100km/h. The truck that was a ways behind me was and unmarked black Chevy Silverado. I was clocked at 168km/h I went that fast for a maximum of 2 seconds at the very most.

Cost me 30 days suspension,$690 fine & $495 for a traffic lawyer.

Now I have a 159hp 5500lbs Lincoln Continental with a 0-60 of 15+ seconds. I don't need to worry about speeding anymore

if it is anything other than one of my approved plates, as head of Oppo's Urban Car Culture Studies department, I'm going to have to bar you for life from ever purchasing Daytons, and give you the irreversible title of "Bitch Ass Honky"

Next time, You should skip the house part and just get a massive garage! Nice place though!

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > jkm7680
01/07/2015 at 09:44

I will make note of that.

jkm7680 > Luc - The Acadian Oppo

Does the Lincoln have a front bench seat?

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > jkm7680

yup it sure does. I love it!

I don't recall you posting any interior pics, I'd love to see some though!
