I still don't get how this company gets the appliance CUV/car market so wrong but all the SRT stuff is just so freakin' awesome.

Just how much longer are they going to milk this car? Sorry, but the design is very old and no matter the newest stripes/wheels/widebody packages can't hide it.

Yup - that's what I'd choose.

It's a bit of a rolling relic.  A throwback to vintage designs that is now so old it is practically vintage itself.  It's a car that makes almost no sense.  Insane horsepower but no hope of putting it to the ground - wheelspin at full throttle in any gear at almost any speed.

But I think it looks cool, sounds like maniacal wailing banshee, and is never ever boring.  So there's that.

Yes, you don't buy a car like this for its finesse!  :rofl2: Who cares if the platform is as old as I am. (Well, maybe that is a slight exaggeration.  :rofl:)

All joking aside, how do you control test drives in a car like that? I assume you must assess sales potential of the individual. Or do you only consider which direction their baseball cap is on?  :rofl:

And thanks for texting me letting me know so I can clear some time from my schedule to come pick it up. So excited. I'll be sure to let you take it for a spin also.

this is one of those no test drive cars. if0 you want it, you know you do. you can test drive it on an approved finance contract, or signed bill of sale.

if you bought one, you sure wouldn't want the one with 125kms on it... you want the one that has 5km, and just rolled out of the trailer.

to be fair, i doubt it's 7 minutes east...hard to tell on the map though, but looks pretty close.

To be fair they screwed up the Camaro after the first generation  ;D
