The 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8, an AutoWeek Drivers Log

MOTORSPORTS EDITOR MAC MORRISON: Judging the Challenger on pure performance is only going to lead to disappointment. Other than lighting up the tires and smoking out the drag strip, it doesn’t do anything particularly well.

So, you have to value the throwback design and the image that comes with it even more than you do outright performance. Nothing wrong with that, and I had fun driving the Challenger simply for that reason. But don’t hop aboard one of these cars expecting it to knock your adrenaline gland into overdrive.
