No question...the Challenger "looks" a whole lot better than the ZL1 in this video!

Challengers need to change it up. They look ok exterior wise but lack interior.

2012ZL1 · 05-28-2012, 02:29 PM

Challengers are nice looking cars no doubt. Not the car that the ZL1 is, but still a nice car.

Very well said!!

wait a minute,
I was told the ZL1 wasn't going to have heat soak problems.
I told the ZL1 wasn't going to have traction problems.
I was told the ZL1 would dominate at the drag strip EVEN with a inexperienced driver because the car was so advanced.

I'm starting to think I was lied to.

They upped the interior this year I noted at NAIS. Much, much better. In fact better interiors across the board as the Canadian Italian dude now running the company totally dumped on the previous interior designs and executions.

Really??? Did you watch the video? There are so many variables in drag racing (that's why I find it a bore, and it's full of excuses by most).

OK, Yes you were lied to now you can exit the forum.

I don't know if you have sat in a new one but they have made them better

The only thing to date I have to drive is an LX car that I like the handling of. with the lower gears the new once fell quick out ofthe gate but they don't have the HP to pull all 4200lbs at high speed as well as the ZL1 will do.

I take it you mean that they lack a stylish interior rather than space. That's my problem with those cars I wanted one till my cousin bought one and I swear the first time I sat in it all I could think was how my 300C had way better road visibility and if you've ever driven a 300 then you know that's not a good thing lol.

Thats what I mean't to say, lol. The body is gorgeous but the interior needs a new look. I owned a '06 300 Touring so I know exactly what you mean. The new 300's have amazing interior. Its only a matter of time before Dodge gives the Challengers a new refreshed look. They are going to have to once the 6Gen Camaros and the Mustangs get released. This is somebody who has owned a Challenger R/T and SRT-8 and you see where I ended up, buying a Camaro.
