Man, that is one sweet ride!!! I'd take that in a heartbeat! But I was born in 1962, and my first car was a black 1971 Camaro SS, that I bought used in 1978 while in high school. That got me hooked on sports cars for life! 😜
I worked at a full service gas station after school and on the weekends to pay for it. It was paid off when I graduated school!

Definetly a better looking car than the new one! I've seen them sitting side by side and your old Challenger looks way better.

Agreed, but you don't want to daily drive a classic like that!

Very Nice!!

I picked up one this summer too but also kept my C6. Both are unique in their own right and both are fun to drive but I have to admit I love the sound of the Challenger over the C6. Can't beat the stock exhaust sound on the Challenger.

Very nice! I wish I could do the same, but maybe in the future I can keep mine and get another Vette!

I've always loved MOPARS. My first car in high school was a '69 Dodge Super Bee back in '75. I couldn't afford a Corvette at the time. I know you'll enjoy the new ride.

Timely thread, I'm thinking about selling the GS for a 2016 Challenger SRT 392. My reasons: comfort, tech, fit and finish, sound etc. At 6" 4 250, my GS has always been a little snug and although it's a 4LT, the interior is still a bit blan ... the tech was outdated when new and the rattles and creeks ... Don't get me wrong, my GS is my 6th vette but I never put over 20k miles on any one of the vettes I've owned. I really want to be inspired to "drive" the car and my vette basically sits in the garage! I really got excited about the C7 but after "attempting" to test drive one, it had the room of a C4! Therefore, C7 is not even an option which pretty much killed my enthusiasm!!

Haven't made a decision yet, may even keep GS and get the SRT. Going on a few test drives this weekend... We'll see!
