Have you driven a Challenger SRT8? When you buy a SRT you get a free track day. I went to Daytona with mine & was able to beat on SRT8 Challengers, Chargers, Jeeps & 300s. All are great handling machines. The 392 is a beast of an engine. The brakes never faded even with 8hrs of abuse.

Owning a Camaro SS/RS, Challenger SRT8 & Mustang GT I have a lot of seat time in them. The Camaro is the slowest of the 3. You have to work hard to get the Mustang to handle the curves well but it can be done. The brakes suck on the Mustang GT & fad after a little bit of hard use making the Mustang feel the heaviest of the 3. The Camaro SS & Challenger SRT8 brakes work great making the cars feel lighter than they are & they both handle the curves effortlessly.
