Texas Auto Writers?
Is this an oxymoron?

In the right spec. It’ll handle. Mostly wide body (bigger tire) and ta (suspension) but I imagine it'll eat tires at that weight.

It largely depends on the trim level, but I’ve heard some are good.

so ima go with handles for an american

I can’t unsee Charlottesville. That’s the main problem for Challenger to me.

The Texas Region SCCA set up the test course for these guys, they’re the ones in neon in the background of the pictures. Notice how the Challenger is nowhere near the apex cones, that’s all you have to know about the ‘handling’ of the Challengers.

Ironically most of good quality pictures that popped up for “west T exas road” had too many curves for the joke to land :P
Figures I would pick the one that’s just a desert road stock image.

Ive never seen a review that says the challenger handles poorly, only that it isnt as good as the M ustang or Camaro.

Well I’ve driven a fairly current Charger. Even in V6/AWD form, I found it handled decently well.
Sure, it’s not a Lotus Elise and it’s not going to set new records on the Nurburgring
, but it’s not supposed to be for that anyway.
And I’d say it handles better than many so-called ‘good handling’ cars like a regular stock Ford Focus.
I’ve driven cars with truly shitty handling (like a Mercury Grand Marquis from the 1980s). The modern LX cars have handling that is more than good enough for the average person using it in day to day driving.

It ’ll handle, you’ll just be scared shitless the whole time.

Is there an official Nurburgring time for any trim Challenger? I’m curious as to what they’ll do.
I saw the 2015+ Mustang GT did it in 8:07, The GT350R did it in 7:32, GT500 did it in 7:39, Camaro ZL1 1LE did it in 7:16, Base ZL1 did it in 7:29, z28 did it in 7:37, and first Gen SS did it in 8:20.
It’d be entertaining to see the bumps in performance between all the trim levels of the Challenger: SXT, GT, RT, T/A, Scat Pack, T/A 392, 1320, Scat Pack Widebody, Hellcat, Hellcat Widebody, Redeye, Demon (doubtful). Did I miss any?

“GT AWD” which is the one I rented not too long ago.

I assumed the GT would be AWD, I know you can op for RWD in that trim.
A GT AWD with some decent tires would be a fun rallycross toy.

If it was my money, I would likely get the GT without the AWD.
As long as you have proper winter tires, the RWD one is manageable in winter.
And the RWD one gets about 10% better fuel economy and has a bit less weight.
