Default My wife is SPOILD!!!!

It's official, I am changing jobs and with the new job I get a vehicle allowance...So guess who gets the hand me down and who get the new ride. Yep, the wife is using the "I need something more economical to drive" reasoning...I caught her looking at 392 Challengers and ZL1 Camaros ...LOL!!!

Oh well the Mega is a lot nicer than what I have been driving!

OK here is the latest...we have it narrowed down to two cars 2013 Challenger SRT8 and 2013 Charger SRT8

When we first started shopping the Charger never entered the picture but with a little prodding from the wife and the salesman I took a look at an SRT Charger...they are NICE!!! and just as fast as the Challenger. My only complaint about the car is that it has those two extra doors! Other than that I love the car! Now for that Challenger...It seems to have been built with left over parts...it doesn’t have a back-up camera, or the 8 inch entertainment system monitor and they used the truck key fob...WTF is up with that.

The Charger has the back-up camera, cross path detection (fancy back-up warning) forward collision monitoring, that thing that warns you if you are about to change lanes into another car, adaptive cruise control (you can set the car lengths for your car to follow by, it even applies the break in needed), and heated and cooled cup holders...NONE of this is available on the Challenger, so really the only thing the Challenger has going for it is it's looks.

Unless one of you can make a very compelling case for the Challenger, I have a Charger picked out at Frontier Dodge in El Reno that I'm going to buy today or tomorrow!

Here is the link to it:

The Challenger hasn't been updated yet like the Charger. I'm sure a refresh is coming soon. Up until 2012, the Charger had a similar interior and used the same key, which is used in all the Mopars prior to the recent refreshes.

I personally really like the new Charger SRT8.

I'm with Morgan... I am in love with the new Chargers! They look so clean and you got alot more room in the back. They're just as powerful and fast as the Challenger. So my pick is the Charger
