Does anyone here own a 1LE and a 2012+ Challenger V8?

Just curious, as I was thinking of getting a 2012 SRT8 or R/T with Track pack just to mess with and have as a toy.
It would be my first Mopar, and I would keep both it and my 1LE.
Hopefully, my wife will not kill me if I let her drive it.

They are heeeeeeeeeeeavy. I think the SRTs are pushing 4500lbs.
I love the exhaust note of the HEMI though.
The front end is the weak part of these cars. So is the 5 speed auto.
My 0.01 cent.

I was going to get a Used Challenger to mess around with, but it seems over on the Challenger forums that those cars are problem cars.
I might just wait for my 1LE to be paid off in a year or 2 and just get one new to park next to my 1LE.

You know the old saying 'Mopar or no car'?

I work for FCA and I will choose no car.

They are rather portly, lol, I rarely talk smack beforehand, I let actions speak for me. It does sound pretty good though

My buddy just bought a '15 RT 5.7 challenger. It's a decent car. He wanted a scat pack but couldn't afford it. I drove both a auto and manual scat pack. The auto does feel a lot better due to the quick paddle shifts. Our cars aren't small but these things do feel huge. Neither scat pack impressed me and I didn't like the steering or suspension feeling at all.

The 1LE would embarrass a scat pack/rt/whatever challenger around corners.
