Beautiful. If my health is still good in 5 more years, i might be picking one up

 

one more person went to the dark side now... sad to see u go man

 

don't say "dark side".... those are reserved for Mustangs with blowers.

Congrats Dan!!! I remember you getting your car the same time as me 3 years ago. How time flies.

 

Good call Dan, I'm not far behind you. I like your new ride but I would have to have the coupe...everything else though

John

 

I prefered the coupe but couldn't pass up deal they had on the vert. Now that I have the convertible .. I'm glad it worked out that way.

 

This is only ok if your close to 60 Years old. Congrats. Please post a pic or two of the int

 

Hey, I'm almost 63. Does this mean I have to give up my GT and downgrade to a Corvette?

 

So the inverse of what you're saying is pony cars are teenie-bopper toys?

Interior shots :

 

I went into look at one these and was told I can't drive it because im underage. I was told to come back when Im over 60.

 

Funny ...

As expected it exceeds the Mustang in every way ... The Infotainment system is really nice and it shows Album art for each song on USB stick ... I love that!! That was a big petty gripe of mine in the Mustang. The Dash has the most of he same TrackApps functionality as the Mustang but with nicer graphics. I actually think the 2015 Challenger is even nicer than both the Mustang and Vette as far as electronics are concerned.

My only complaint is it seems to be unable to do anything with text messaging on iPhone .... I think that may only be available in 2015+ model .. haven't figured that out yet.

But ergonomics, comfort, ride quality and performance are all better than the Mustang. Its hard to tell whether is a Luxury car thats also fast ... Or a Fast car that is luxurious.

 

Congrats Dan! Looks good! What's stock hp and tq and 0-60 times for that thing?

Also at the end of the day why autotragic tranny???

 

Some internet specs from C&D

Displacement: 376 cu in, 6162 cc
Power: 460 hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 465 lb-ft @ 4600 rpm
Curb weight: 3506 lb

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 3.7 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 8.3 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 14.5 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 21.5 sec

It would have been nice to have the Manual - and saved me over a $1K .. but the car was priced right to not let the automatic bother me. I still have a manual Jeep Wrangler and Honda Civic to keep up my clutch skills.

 

Looks killer. Very nice.
How do you like the 8 speed automatic? Have you used the paddle shifters? It bet that is a lot of fun.

It's fun to row the gears, but today's automatics make the best/fastest person shifting, seem slow. Today's automatics transmissions shift very fast. Especially in the sports/muscle cars such as pictured above and the Hellcat, for examples. I could enjoy paddle shifters. Almost like a Ferrari feel. "Almost". lol

 

Yea I have to agree with nothing wrong with an auto trans any more. At least for the 1/4 and every day driving.

 

Especially that!

 

I'm not worried about the speed of the autotragics... I know they are faster for sure. For me, it's all about the experience and the joy and the feel, of rowing my own gears. To each his own though.

I like the new interiors of the Vette though. Much improved.

 

I'm guessing that the image of a Corvette on the display is for the post-65 senile crowd who forget what their car looks like.

 

There are a bunch of different gauges or info you can put in that area .. if you don't want a gauge or G-force meter or Speed Limit indicator, or tire pressure or Tire Temp display .. then you can just default to a pic of the Car. What kinda sucks .. is I have a convertible .. but it only displays a Coupe.

 

what is the black motorcycle on the right front of your car?
