As far as performance goes, it's gonna be getting beat by cheaper Csrt-4s, MS3s, EVOs, STIs, Camaros (eventually), 135is, Mustangs, GTOs, etc.. ^^All those cars are lighter and have at least 4 seats.
I'm talking stock for stock, which cuts that list down a little, but see your point. I was also talking about the hopefully 500 HP 392 HEMI in a couple years, not the current engine.

I'm sure the Challenger will do the same. The SRT8 cars also surprise everybody with how well they handle for as big as they are. With a 4" shorter wheelbase, the Challenger should handle just a tad better than their SRT8 brothers.
Would it be nice to only weigh in at 3800lbs? Heck yes it would be, but it doesn't. However I think a lot of people are mistaken if they don't believe this car will be able to perform. It should only get better once the manual transmission gets put in the car in a year or so.
Exactly the point I was trying to get across.
