    You gotta love it when a big girl can hustle. Not just a straight line one trick pony, actually seemed very composed on those beautiful B roads. Perhaps not “fun” as you said, but she makes a good impression. Looking forward to more of your unique style of review, hopefully some rare or highly individual cars. Also hyped for your next race.

    I rented a new Charger (4 door version of this) in LA when I was there last, totally exceeded my expectations, had a lot of fun tbh both on the freeways blatting about but also I took it up over Mulholland and some of the roads TH-cam people test up on in the mountains there. Cheaper to run even with "expensive" California fuel than it is to daily my Lexus here in the UK too. If it wasn't for the pure size and fuel prices, I think the combination of the price and power would have gone down well if they'd sold here.

    I was surprised a few months back to learn that these had IRS rather than a live axle in the rear, definite improvement from older generations if you want to do anything besides go in a straight line. But the torque converters act like traction control anyway, would definitely prefer a manual for the direct power delivery. They are available with the TR6060 which is a beast of a six speed

    Hey Danny.🖐 Do I think this was a good review? Hell yeah, brother!👍😎 Those are some beautiful scenic roads you have over there, mate. Well, you're one up on me as I still haven't driven an SRT-8. Some people give 'em shit for being so heavy, but apparently they handle much better than expected. The SRT-8 looked quite a Challenge on those narrow roads, especially with oncoming traffic and driving on the less than ideal side of the car. Kinda like dancing with a big girl in a phone booth, you don't have much wiggle room.😁 Still looked like good fun. Really enjoying these unique reviews, Dan. I appreciate the honourable mention, dude. You know I'd never hit you with a copyright strike. haha. Huge Shoutout to Matt for lending you his honkin' slice of 'Merican muscle for our entertainment.🙌 As always, big ups to the writers. All those U.S. and A stereotypes are pretty damned accurate. Also cracked me up with the Power ranger outfits... wind in my face. Oh shit, I just ate a wasp.😅 Then segued right into the 🐝B-roll. haha, nice. Longshot, but maybe you can add that Motorbike Man song to the playlist. Have a great weekend, Dan.
