Where are the yellow splitter guards that dealers leave on due to not knowing their product (and then the buyer thinks that they look cool)?

The splitter guard is a shipping piece. It is a giant piece of molded plastic. I will grab a picture later. I think it is hidious. So i had them take it off. It is held on by 4 screws. Dealers do not take it off because some cutomers want them. They gave me mine back because the sell for $75+ on ebay.

Sorry to see you go, and I hope your experience with the Challenger is a good one. I hope you come back to tell us your impressions, especially the handling differences.
Enjoy the new ride! |

That's good the dealer purchased it back. When people were having issues with the S197 and the transmission breaking down they would have to fight tooth and nail to lemon the car.
Scatpack is a great choice. While it's not an SS or LT1 it's a pretty comparable car otherwise. Similar specs when it comes to performance. The Camaro is a better handling car overall. The Challenger Scatpack and Hellcat are both sexy cars. I guess that's the good thing about buying a used Camaro. Mine is a 2016 and was low miles. almost 5 years old so those early bugs would have surfaced by now. I thought it was just the 2021 that was having issues with some of the engines such as the valve springs. |

Thank you all very much. I am doing the grueling break in now but will report bad with inpressions after

I'm so sorry to hear about your Camaro problems.
On the other hand, you have a beautiful replacement in the Challenger. You are fortunate to find a performance car of any kind in this low inventory market. Congratulations and best wishes on the Challenger, please keep us updated on this car. I came so close to buying a Challenger, when I purchased in April 2018. |

Sorry to hear about the problems you had with your Camaro. Congratulations on the Challenger though the scat pack was my second choice when I was shopping last year. I hope you enjoy it.

Yes, please keep us updated with reviews and photos! The Challenger has been on my shopping radar in the past... not my first choice, but the motor is. :O

4 Day update.
I am still in the break-in period so I cannot get on it yet. Half throttle, less than 70mph and less than 5K rpm. But you can feel it is going to be a beast. Here is a few things I noticed (yes before I bought it). The wipers are the old style non-one piece design. Easily fixed when I replace them, I usually replace blades 1x per year. The E-brake is the foot peddle. weird but no more weird than an electric version. The backup camera is crap. You can see but the image is "yellow-ish" and you can tell it is old. But the image moves very fast vs HD images that tend to stutter. You can tell the car is built solid. It is heavy but solid. The doors thud (in a good way) shut. Same with the trunk. I have not been able to drive it hard but with the widebody 305s on all 4 you can tell it will handle extremely well. The break-in is killing me.
