They can't take corners worth a damn.

I rented one when I was in vegas and used it for two weeks. I got it at under 1500km, and it was absolute shit. Battery and alternator died, and it can't take corners unless you're going fucking 10km/h.

Switched to a mustang cause they had nothing else left.

they corner phenomenally actually if you get an r/t model with the road and track performance group package or a super track pack.. which all my cars have had, my 06 hemi charger had the road and track package, my last challenger had the super track pack and so does this one.

iirc the cornering g's is right at the .90 mark which is pretty damn good in general and even more so for a 4k lb car

If you dont care then why do i/e/tune?

I mean, when someone's next to you revving, you just gonna say "brb lemme get my red car" ?


because with my diablosport tuner i can get to 400+hp on one tune and also get 30-32 mpg on another tune. If i do the intake/exhuast/tune the same on this challenger as my last one, i can make 400hp and get 26mpg on the same tune so its win win really.

i dont care in the sense that its not a pressing concern of mine to pull loads of power out of my DD. If someone wants to race, they will do it for money, if not then its not worth my time and wear and tear on the vehicle. If someone is serious about a race, im sure they will want to race out in the country, which is all it is around here and its where my car is at/where i live.. 1 mile north of my place there is a 1/2 mile straighaway with no crossroads or driveways where people race, closest town is 4 miles away so its a common spot in the area. Looking as my spirit r/t does, an ultimate sleeper, it will give them even more confidence and in turn, i can probably drain more money out of them assuming they dont wanna look under the hood. Usually telling them "its just a 4cylinder", hooks them because egotistical v8 guys will be egotistical. There have more welshers then not and people that just keep driving, which is whatever cuz the laugh i get out of their flyby and driveaway of shame is enough entertainment for me to cover the bet,, most people i never even have to go past my lowest boost setting of 18 psi to beat, which 18 psi is where my meth injection turns on so i use pretty much no methanol and just kick their ass on straight 87 octane.. its quite funny lol.

same replies because nothing changes, ive had my spirit r/t for 7 years and its been fully built for 4 years.. havnt touched a thing on it in a long time so the story stays the same. Only thing that changes are the newer cars i buy and the ridiculous strings of preposterous troll posts i do now and then just to piss off the troglodyte forum warrior magazine moguls thats havnt even built anything of worth, ever.
