Retractable hard top, I really want to rent one somewhere. It was posted for the size.... it is minuscule compared to the stang!
Just rent one on Turo, the 124 in the LA canyons was rad, definitely top 5 car experiences of my life. They're pretty fun around town too, easy to park, can floor it everywhere, no scrape.

My friend has a V6 moose with manuel , he enjoys it, but when he was over last and took me for a rip he noticed a brake squeal that wasn't there earlier in the day and the car is one yr old. It was pronounced in light stop and go every time he stepped on the brake pedal light to medium effort. Not impressed TBH. Chally gets my vote with a much nicer interior and better use of space. I know some mofo that has 350k on his RT driving from Wasaga beach to the FCA plant daily and his car gets a suspension/ball joint refresh and gets donated to the wifey b/c her driving habits are limited to around town, and he is placing an order for a new juan.

Very different car then the Mustang, they both achieve what they aim to very well.

Man, I should've considered a used RT for my daily search... 16 cylinders would be : fuckyeah:

It's got to be one of the best cars for commuting in, as long as you don't mind paying for gas and have somewhere to moor a barge.

The problem with the Challenger is that it has the ocean liner outside without the Ocean Liner inside.....you have to Charger for that. Still, a SRT/Hellcat Challenger is one of the meanest looking cars out there and they sell like hotcakes here in SoCal.

They're a little short on headroom but otherwise rather large inside.

I love looking out over that aircraft carrier hood too :megusta:

And it’s a wrap... only 250 miles later. Abysmal 20.5mpg which is worse than my m3 but overall a very good car

Not really ... maybe I got “lucky” but I spent almost no time in traffic, out of the 8hrs of “driving time”, as measured by the stang, about 30min were in traffic.

Being in the m3 is just so refreshing after the stang also, drives, steers, brakes so much better and visibility is so much better as well, cAr feels much smaller with the tiny hood overhangs, yet same on the inside. Packaging is shit when it comes to that on the stang.

I hope you mean 350k miles right? It may has to do with the cylinder deactivation that helps it exceed the longevity compared to its competition.

Funny thing is, when my uncle visited LA a year ago, he rented a Camaro SS, even his wife likes his e92 m3 for its comfort. My uncle loved the Camaro doe.

Yup miles, I try to convert everything from units of measure to variances of words like colour into American. It's good practice for when we are forcefully taken over and required to assimilate! :like:
