And you wonder why Challenger is #1 in sales? - Page 11

I'm 6' 5' 235, love the fit with Recaro's. On an aside, what if they cancel 2023 Camaro production due to constraints/ low demand and the shift to EV crap?

To each his own.
I had a 70's Challenger, which was like 70% the size of today's behemoth (which is really a charger with 2 doors).
I was hoping the long-rumored barracuda reboot would be around when I was shopping. it was supposed to be smaller than the challenger. Now we'll never see it.
Cudos to the Challenger team for selling the same basic car for 10 years and making money! That's not easy.

You ain't kidding man, they milked that platform to the last drop. Going to be real interesting how they move forward with the 3.0T inline 6 next generation

I've owned countless Mustangs over the years including a 1972 Mach 1 and 2003 Cobra.

My last Mustang was a 2016 GT350. I liked it, but didn't love it. Almost traded it in on a ZL1 in 2019, but it was replaced with a F350.

The 6th gen Camaros just get me in feels more than Mustangs and I daily my Camaro. Love the cockpit feeling and the torque.

Test drove countless Challengers. Just don't do anything for me.

It gets more interesting when you look at it like this, (the weights are subject to options)

Must be a slim 235 lol. Im on the lets say rounder side of 245 lol. Few vehicles I have sat in with Recaros felt like I was being squished into them lol. Not comfy at all

For 6'5", that's actually a fairly decent weight.

I'm 5'11" and ~200, and they fit me well. I'm guessing my build is similar to him proportionally.

Not a first choice for long drives but i think the point is to hold you in during cornering

. I have a Fiesta ST optioned with them as well, same dynamic. Now the Dodges can have a couch for a seat as they weren't'designed to turn left and right with 285's,4000 lbs, and 700 h.p.)

Well there is one benefit to having the Challenger around. It draws high BMI (i.e. fat) people away from the Camaro and Mustang since they can't ingress and egress gracefully, and won't be comfortable inside anyway...hip room is finite.

I actually do like the Challenger's exterior styling, but at 4250 lbs, it's a contradiction. I'm 5-10, 180 lbs toned, so I ain't driving an overweight car.

I'll grab a single cab full size gas pick up before a charger or challenger. Comparable weight and handling, more use out of the pick up.

Then I'll be posting up my ZL1 for sale for the low low price of $99,99.98 ;-)

GM is now run by a bunch of pansy ass, politically correct weak ass punks who probably should be baking cookies or being altar boys.
