It doesn't exude practicality. It's not really a year-round Calgary car. Chrysler products long term durability isn't congruent with my general approach to depreciating assets.
Having said that, they're "giving them away" these days. A 6.1L Hemi (425HP, 420 Lb/ft of torque) and a 6 speed manual provides a totally badass ride and makes a totally badass sound, even before the arrival of the aftermarket supercharger and exhaust this thing is going to have installed.
In today's world of rationalization, cutbacks, and tepid outlooks, this is a shot in the opposite direction. It was totally refreshing. I felt immediately like I needed an American Road Trip, to the fullest meaning of the experience.
yay! that's a beautiful car.
ReplyDeleteat least they didn't screw it up like the Charger. 4 doors on a Charger? And Chrysler wonders why they're on the brink.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this car about a year ago I seriously considered giving up bike racing so I could afford one. They are fabulous. I also thought that about the Mustang GT500 a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteI still drive a minivan....I guess I've made my choice. More than once. I'm sure next year someone will release a crazy hot rod that will make me question my priorities. If I had to guess I'd bet cycling wins again.
But I sure would like to do some burn-outs in one of those things.
