Just love American Muscle cars and didn't have time, money or knowledge to put together a hot rod of my own and have it dependable. Plus, having a four door a$$ whooper is nice as well wirth the kids!
Prior car was a 1994 Impala SS so I was used to a car big enough to carry 4-5 people and two kegs of beer. Impala rolled over 210k so it was time to get serious. I'd been waiting 13 years for GM to make another big rear wheel drive car like what Holden has been making for the last 10 years but it seems GM's not interested in selling anything that's not a truck. (except for the newer caddy). Requirement one, if I'm going to have a car payment again I want MORE HP. Requirement two, see requirement one. If you're shopping for a full size, rear wheel drive, with 400 hp, you're going to be buying an SRT.
I got the SRT because the bank wouldnt fiance me for a 10k loan for a 3000GT but would for an 18,5k Skittle 3 yrs later i would have never thought i would be sliding around orange cones, reverse 180s, ramping, or pulling lateral Gs in long corners, and the car still running great at 80k I think ive tested/experienced almost everything this car can do :grin: and still finding new limits
I have always been a big V-8 fan. I have always been a MOPAR nut, so I have seen the srt-4's just never looked into one. I had a 73 plymouth duster for my first car, and dad has the 71 Superbee!! I saw the neons race on streetfire.net, and seen what they were capeable of. I looked for probably 3 months, before I found one within 200 miles of were I lived. Went and test drove it, and fell in love!! 2 hours later I was taking in home with me.
Nev... you've been slacking off on your joke of the day! ...now back to our previously hijacked thread...
yup, and Pat happens to be the owner of the VTCOA (Viper Truck Club of America) forum as well. An all around great person.
Let's see, I bought mine (SRT8 Charger) because it looks good, handles great, and it is pretty fast. Oh yeah, love them Black cars!
I got mine because it has Power, Stying, Comfort, Nice Options, Power, Power, Power. That and because in April 2007 some a$$hole stole my '95 ImpalaSS!!!
Always wanted a big, fast Mopar, since a family friend let me drive his '67 Charger back in the late 80's, but was never mechanically inclined to own a classic. Owned a 1990 Dodge Spirit with the 150 HP 3.0L V6 and loved it. So... I fell in love at the first spy shot of the Charger SRT8. The Charger was a natural, albeit HUGE progression. To make a long story short, I didn't have enough life-altering addictions, so here I am.
My dad worked for Dodge dealerships most of my life, so my first car was a 1985 Dodge Lancer ES. Dodge hasn't made anything I liked in the last 10 years. So I'd been driving "other" cars for the last 10 years. When the Charger SRT came out it was love at first site.
I wanted a bad azz muscle car but needed to be able to haul my three kids in it. Looked at the Charger SRT8 and 300 SRT8 but once I drove the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 it was all over for me. I went home and sold my wife on why I needed to trade in my one year old Benz E350 on a gas guzzling beast. I have never been happier with any car I have ever owned. And my children are always begging me to stand on it from a dig.:grin:
