Default Got something to keep my 996 company :)




Just got this beast to keep the 996 company. Got rid of my older SUV. Dodge did a great job for the 2015. Not quite as nimble as the Porsche but its a great cruiser

Very nice, congrats. I want to buy me one, just for the looks, I think the Challenger nailed and looks way better than a camaro.

Uh, Chevy Trailblazer? Volvo S60? That damn green car is blocking my view of the black Audi so I can't tell what model it is . . .

I knew they were big, but it really dwarfs the 996. Congrats on the purchase!

I was born and raised on Ma' Mopar. I really want a B5 Blue Scat Pack Charger. Enjoy the Challenger!

As much as I am a Euro fanboy, I love that boat. Nothing beats the sound of an American V8 rumbler. I like the color as well.

Thanks The color is sublime. Scat Pack was a bit much for me. This is the RT PLUS with 8spd auto. Great transmission! Put on a mopar exhaust. Still love the Porsche but I'm 6'5" and the dodge is comfy
Looks like I will be a Porsche and American Muscle guy now haha!

My allegiance to Mopar is deep too. I think Chrysler nailed it with the Challenger.

In college I had a '69 Charger RT/SE. What a beast.

But I think the new Mustang (2015?) has just edged out the Challenger in the looks dept.
Hard to lose either way.

If my funds allowed, there would be Charger and Challenger Hellcats in the garage.

Love the Challengers!!! Awesome choice

I have "built" Challengers on the Dodge site a bunch of times. The new interior is great for a non luxury brand American car.

I enjoyed my 911 but was having V8 withdrawls. I was looking at new Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers when by chance I was at my BMW dealer and they just got in 2012 M3 coupe. Jerez Black with red leather interior. Comp package, DCT and lots more.

Picked it up last Monday
