Nice looking car. I wouldn't lower it though.

I picked my up SS next door to a dealer that had a bunch of these. Many colors/options, including quite a few nicely appointed V6s. Too big, not enough mpg, not enough storage for me (I like my bikes in the back of a wagon), but they were tempting. The Plum Crazy R/T V8 is pretty cool. Nice car; your wife done good.

Let's see, a V6 Toyota Camry for a V6 Dodge Challenger? No brainer which is the car that most if not all of us would pick (except maybe grandma).

Your wife must be pretty happy with the new ride.

Looks-wise, the Challenger is obviously with winner, but the Camry was a lot faster, 100x more fun to drive, and had a manumatic trans that was a lot more fun as well!

If my HHR was paid off, that would be my next ride alongside SSuzy-Q in the driveway.

Well let's see here:

Stripped = lacking many good things, bare bones etc..

Striped = having or adding accent, or racing stripes.

Anyway, I like it !!!! Looks good...

My OL has an 08 Avenger SXT.. She has already got a couple speeding tickets in it.. So all is good..LOL

Very true. RWD is preferred for musclecars, but if you're dealing with only 250 ponies for a 3700lb car with the Dodge V6, maybe it's a moot point. Still, it's a nice daily driver. Good luck and many happy miles...

Funny thing is, not very long ago 250 hp in a 3700lb car would have had car nuts drooling.

I had a 74 Chevelle with a 145hp V8 years back, I would have loved to have another 100hp.

Nice Maybe your wife can join the Lx Forum. Cheri (mitzkiti) & her husband Dorian also own a magnum and they're part of that forum. They're also one of the biggest groups making it's presence at CFAC
