I like the Challenger, if there was no Mustang I probably would own one. But it is BIG. When you see one on the street it looks fine, size wise, but when you see one up close...IT'S BIG! When you sit in one, IT'S BIG! It feels like you're in a truck more than a muscle car.
I've test driven several and they are good, but there is just something lacking. They don't feel all that fun.

I've driven an AT and a MT SRT8 and there is a night and day difference in power delivery between the two. The AT was lacking for sure.

When are we going to have more info on the 2013 MY cars?

I do motorcycle track days so my requirements for a car is most likely different than many of you who put the outright performance of the car you purchase as priority #1. Imho taking a car to the track (compared to a bike) gets to be fairly boring after a few laps. And if its a nice dry day and I feel like hitting the twisties it's going to be on a bike every time.
have you driven a boss yet, i used to ride a 2006 zx-6r, but the fact is the car is more fun to drive. my bike is up for sale. 4500 with about 23000 miles on it if you know anyone interested.

although i have never been to a track day, i def do my fair share of street testing. and im still driving the standard boss on the factory tires and its absolutely amazing. I havent been able to put the keys down since i bought it. 3 weeks and 3500 miles later and front tires are almost warn out on sides from cornering already

I have not yet been given the opportunity to drive a modern B302 but I've had many high performance cars through the years and can say that the performance and exhileration you get from riding a modern sportbike can't be matched by most cars, even exotics.

A 600 is the best bike to take to the track to learn on and I urge you to do so. You simply cannot tap the performance of that bike on the street. Once you attend a track day it will transform your skills to a higher, safer and more confident level.

bike is still for sale, im more interested in a track day with the stang more at the moment, but both would be fun.........plus i really don't want to buy a set of leathers for the track..... i tap the performance pretty well on my bike , there is more than a few cops that saw tailights...... you would be suprised how much you can push things when you need to

Hi Randy M,

The order info for the 2013s might be like last year for the 2012s. The info came out at the end of the year (Nov-Dec time). As soon as I get some info, I'll let you all know.
