      Hopefully people keep buying the manual... If not they will phase it out eventually.. They hanged on to the manual pick up trucks until last year (on the diesel with the cummins option) but now it will be just automatic :(
      I know manuals will die out eventually but hopefully not for a while longer.. Even ford will stop making the mustang in a manual.

    I have one of these in Octane Red, fully optioned, and with the SRT Barracuda spoiler. It's my daily and I just adore it. By far, the best car I've ever owned. Had to get the glass tinted dark right away, sunroof tinted too, because it was getting too hot from the sun. Now it's no issue. Stock exhaust note is amazing. This car launches like a catapult and turns like it's on rails. The brakes are remarkable too. People who say "it's only good in a straight line" are clueless. Big & heavy, can't deny that but I don't care. I friggen love it. It's roomy and comfy and a great cruiser.

    Went to leave and saw a crowd around the 22 Scat pack wide body.
    Salesman was itching to take it out , but none of the customers looking at it could drive a manual shift . I spoke up from the back, “I can “
    Threw me the keys and said let’s go light this mf up !
    And we did . Had 6 miles on it , 30 or so when we got back.

    The actual "F8" fighter wasn't a jet, but was actually way more appropriate for analogies to this car. The last Grumman piston engine fighter (2000HP) before they switched to jets. Insane torque. Big 4 blade prop. Tail dragger. Can you imagine the right rudder it demanded on takeoff? Manly and brutal. Lots of parallels to the Dodge muscle car lineup.

    I own a challenger, I got a challenger because of what it represents, the last take to old muscle car appearance and performance, if I want a cornering car, I would get a camaro, exactly. Challengers are big, spacious, its got the character of a muscle car.

      And that's exactly why I want one as well - I'm tired of every car measuring performance on track, making them uncomfortably for everyday drive.
      Challenger has it - lots of power and growl, but comfort and spaciousness, perfect car to drive every day and have a some fun pulling from lights from time to time.

    I love the Challenger. I drove one for a week on a trip, and I drove it for about 300 ish miles per day (3-6 hours of mixed highway and city driving). At first I was really disapointed with the (IMO) ugly interior with extremely low amounts of storage for such a big and heavy car. Also, the steering lag and lack of power made me question the slight extra I was paying to rent this over the medium sized SUV I had reserved (I rented the 3.6L V6 one, it was the one they had).
    But as the miles and the days went by, I completely fell in love with it. Of course it was slow, and the steering felt super numb, but as TH said, that is part of the charm. On the highway it felt super stable at about 100 mph (as fast as I dare to go on roads that I don't know, specially with cops around), and while the throttle wasn't particularly exciting, it still has 305 hp on the rear wheels which can still be a bit fun.
    But the thing that me love it entirely was just how ridiculous a car like that feels. It has no interior space to put your phone down, the little cubbyhole in the armrest fills up with just the usb cable in it, good luck trying to get two medium-large sized suitcases on the trunk, no power, and slow steering; and yet, I couldn't wait to get on it and just go for a drive! It makes absolutely no sense, but I want one. It just made me smile all day long, and that is what a good car should do.

But when pushing it hard around corners after a year or so of owning it, i was able to out handle my 3 years owned jb4 stage 3 tune 335i through a twisty road by 5.3 seconds.

    Thanks for that very fun, enjoyable review! I originally thought the "F8" paint color related to the Fujita Tornado scale... you know how the sky often turns a greenish color before a tornado strikes... but apparently that scale only goes from F0 to F5, so I was wrong. I think it would have been cooler if they had named it F5 for that reason. Gotta love Dodge for continuing to build these beasts! Everybody gives them a hard time for keeping them around for SO long, but you can't argue with success. They're still selling like crazy - even with the stupid-high prices. They are definitely the last of the true "muscle cars".
