I love this thing, 2009 Dodge Challenger RT 5.7 L V8 Hemi, fully loaded with 372 hp.

Me and my baby

edit: I was off a bit on the hp

Lookin' good (the car, sorry buddy). One day I have to take one out for a test spin and really open it up. How's she handle?

Smooth. The Challenger is heavier than the Mustang and the Camero, so it's a little slower off the line, but for a longer stretch (like a mile) it's faster. Since its heavier it cruises alot better than you might think a muscle car would. I kept it pretty mellow coming back from Gencon (didn't want to pull a ticket on the 1st weekend) but I was doing 85 and it felt smooth as silk.

As far as looking good, I know, I hadn't realized how fat I had gotten until I saw that picture. It's time to hit the gym hard again I think.

I also have an Escort, so I do have a car that gets good gas mileage that I can use to put up the BS miles. The Blue Meanie is for cruising and next years trip to the coast baby.

Man that looks great, Morty. Haven't thought about a Challenger in years. Almost bought a used '70 RT back in 1973/4, but decided to go to college instead!
Drive safe and . . . enjoy!

Nice car, sir! When day care for two of my three kids comes to an end (and one is getting ready to hit Pre-K, so I'll only have one left in daycare), I intend on getting something sweet like that. Nice going!
