    I bought myself a faster crowd killer for my 21st birthday

    Nah, it’s the V6. I had trouble getting past the 4-cylinder nature of the EcoBoost. It’s not really all that much faster anyway.

    It drives like an absolute treat and you can really feel the IRS. I’m in love.

    Based on the wheels, I think it's a v6. Nice car whichever engine it has.
    I looked at a mustangs before I bought my Challenger SXT, and the v8 and ecoboost had different wheels than this one.

    BTW, My car got snowed on last week. It was roughly 11-12" of snow when the most was on the ground. I think that weight was enough to be about a 1/2" lowering kit.. :)

    Yeah, it's a V6 car. 300HP from the 3.7L plant isn't something to sneeze at, the car isn't just quick, it's down right fast. I love it. They're correct when they say that 300HP is the correct amount.

    Yep, I liked the mustang v6 I test drove, but the challenger felt so much better in terms of seating position and ride.
    My Chally v6 has 305hp, 8 speed auto, and according to the 0-60 timer on my car, my best time is 5.7 seconds 0-60mph. The fastest I've had mine is 80 mph and as soon as I saw it, I backed off.

    I've had the car less than 24 hours and I've already done 100. It's insane how fast it gets there and how easily it does it. The old one rattled so much at those speeds.

    Is it an auto or a stick?

    Anyways, here is proof that police departments have no clue how to have a high-speed chase:

    Another one that I am analyzing:
    6BE2ED27-C945-4E3F-90AE-3F86920E40C1.jpeg
    This guy is driving at 90-100mph on a back road in the wrong lane of traffic one-handed. Needless to say, this is incredibly dangerous.

    Also, that chase ends with a cop brandishing his gun SIDEWAYS on a busy road.

    Honestly, both of these behaviours on behalf of the law enforcement is irredeemable. I love the police and what they do, but they should be much more careful in high speed pursuits.

    I could no longer afford to insure a stick. It got to the point with my last one that I was writing it off every year in insurance. But no matter, it's still a hilariously fun car, and I have plans for another stick car in the future.

    Eh modern autos are better 85% of the time, and manual mode exists.

    Old autos? BLEH

    Once in the 1970's my Grandfather bought a car for my Grandmother, and he showed her the pile of junk pinto wagon, she said don't buy it, so..... he traded the car in front in this pic (Mercury Montego) for it. LOL! :)

    BTW, my grandfather got to drive it, she wouldn't drive it... She'd rather drive his Long wheelbase F100... :rolleyes:

    You’re late to the party. That’s old news by now.

    I can’t help but notice it sounds like a friend’s parent’s 440i with the M performance exhaust.

    Still sounds gorgeous.
