I really like the new F8 green, looks like Verdero green. If we bought a Daytona that’s the color I wanted. I also like Plum Crazy but the wife said no way

What did a factory performance car do in 2005? 13’s with a good driver and tires? People are running 10’s in these cars with good tires.
To say these cars are anything less than exceptional is absurd. I wasn’t going back 50 years- hell I bet you couldn’t find anything on par with this 5 years prior (2010). |

I have a SRT Durango. 392 with 475 NA horsepower. It's my daily driver. Love the AWD, how fast it is, the brakes, and the utility.

I have a 2009 Torred 5.7 R/T 6 speed manual. Only 35 K miles so far, but a great car, fun to drive and get 26-28 mpg on the highway.

This isn't quite right. First year for the wide body was 2018. The redeye is new for 2019, but you can't get it in a manual.

I though the widebody was exclusive to the 2018 Demon; I know there are a couple ways to get it on 2019 models...

to me, not really a wide body. Looks like a bolt on wide body. I've seen a few that look really b/a, the fender should be seamless. Bolt on fenders are for early Broncos. With that said I wouldn't turn a good deal down on one.

Nice to see some Mopar owners other than me on this GREAT Pontiac site!
No Hellcat, and I like all of the sensations that come with old school engines and cars. I rebuilt the 421 Tripower in my wife's 65 GTO, with additional performance and longevity as the goals. My 70 Roadrunner is a V-code (440 6bbl) so as far as I'm concerned that means it will ALWAYS have 3x2 of "something" feeding the fuel and air, whether it is the 3 Holley 2bbl carbs or 3x2 throttle body injectors. Same for our GTO. The point is that for those 2 cars, old school engines is the ticket. I would love to put a Hellcrate or Hellephant engine in an old school Mopar, but the ideal candidate for either of those 2 engines for me would be a 70 Satellite converted into a Superbird clone, with as advanced a suspension system front and rear as is available in the aftermarket, and a 5 or 6 speed standard transmission with a rear end gear that would give good acceleration but allow for a 200+MPH top speed. THAT is what I would want a Hellcrate or Hellephant engine for. As far as the OP's question, many people I know use their supercharged Challenger and Charger cars as daily drivers. |

Glad to read the good reviews on the Chrysler Go Fast cars. Always wondered if they were sprint / short lived cars
or dependable cars. |
