Nah, it's actually quite docile. I got 27.5mpg on my 450 mile trip to Atlanta and back on Monday, too.

P.S. It still has the stock supercharger in place, too.

A lot of Challenger guys, like Camaro guys, are very sensitive. I notice many are crying when I blow by 'em in the GT500........:emoticon7:

J/K, love them Challengers and the Camaro

The Challenger guys are crying because they paid more just to get a Hemi

The Camaro guys are crying with relief they paid less and got a better looking car

I think its inevitable, every Mustang thread on here turns into Mustang vs Camaro. Its just so much fun.

Sounds like wishful Fanboy-ism to me. U remind me of this guy I kno named ASSRUTHERFORD...

The GT500 was nose heavy and undertired, that is corrected with the 11 performance package, and you do realize 2 seconds is an eternity, right? If you are in a 50 lap race, the GT500 could lap the ss on a lot of shorter courses....... And it's not fanboyism, it physics, power to weight, suspension geometry, gearing, etc, etc, etc........

Now THAT is fanboyism and a totally scientific conclusion

Wow... you've just listed all the things that the Challenger fails at.

Lets see what the new R/T track package does, bigger roll bars, different rear shocks, performance tires, and bigger brakes Of course the 11 GT is going to set the standard

I did always wonder what they called it Challenger Since it means someone that opposes or takes on a Champion.. seems like they would rather be associated with someone that is always Challenged, maybe they could have called it a "Champ".. oh yeah didn't Chrysler have a "Plymouth Champ" Nevermind...

why are taking about a F_ _ _ed Over Rebuild Dodge any way.

Wow... 20 years ago I was driving pretty much that exact car. A 1981 Dodge Colt -- it was even the same color as the one you posted. I think the only difference between them was the badge.

Mine had the 4-speed manual with "twin stick" (effectively an 8-speed if you were willing to do a lot of rowing), and the "MCA Jet" engine

Believe it or not, it was a very fun car to drive. I think it weighed about 1500 lbs, and had manual steering, brakes, windows, etc.

Now back to the topic at hand. Kudos to those Ford guys for achieving 300+ horses and 31 mpg. That's sweating the details!

ur about the most unbias guy on here....the rest well it is a camaro forum lol or mustang forum? i usually forget.

See how hard it is to read minds?
As a Chevy guy i can tell Sleestak that when Camaro owners see the GT500 what goes through our minds is, "He bought that, and for the same money he could have bought a Corvette."
