Here is an excellent view in to the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8, an incredible throwback from the 70's with the technology of today. Take a look at the inspiring video, wouldn't you love to take a drive in this beauty?
As our Ignition host and MT associate road test editor Carlos Lago points out, the Challenger is full of curb appeal and charisma. Even when surrounded by a potpourri of exotics in the main lot of the weekly Cars & Coffee gathering in Irvine, California, the muscular American stood out like few others. It has the same effect on you when you're behind the wheel. No matter who you are, you will feel like the coolest person alive in that supple yet supportive driver's seat. It's a feeling unlike any other. The various thumbs-up and looks of approval and/or jealousy you'll get from other drivers on the road only boost the effect. And then there's that awesome pistol-grip shifter.
It is this ability to project coolness that allows you to ignore the Challenger's many flaws. It's thirsty, the interior is comfortable but bland, the navigation system old and low-resolution, the suspension floaty and disconnected, and at two-plus tons, it's simply fat. But none of that matters, because wherever you are and wherever you're going, you'll feel like you're just out for a Sunday cruise -- even if you're actually stuck on the freeway on a Monday morning.
The Challenger is something more than a car; you can see it in the way kids stare at it as you drive by, they look at it with the same way they look at an ice cream truck. You can see the childlike looks in the faces of adults that stare as this thing rolls by. It awakens something inside.
