By the way this was the 485hp with the Tremec trans. Was a really nice ride.
P.S. Last weekend I looked at a Corvette Sting Ray, it had terrible throttle blip. Mushy with no snap in the Rev. Not sure why Chevy is doing this. Is this to save on gas mileage? Whats the purpose?

My last car was a 2015 Challenger SRT (same 392 that you're looking at) and you're right that even with the Soler TB the Challenger was way more responsive from factory. It's sad that Chevy has shipped a car that on paper should be relatively the same (if not better for weight vs hp ratio) and yet the throttle feels so much worse while driving.
