sold the mini and bought a dodge challenger srt8 392. not as much of a drastic change as it seems as we have a jeep gc srt8 and previously had a chrysler 300 srt8. had a hard time getting away from the raw power even if it meant giving up the fantastic handling of the mini. don't miss the front wheel drive.

 

What a beast. PICS!

 

Congrats on the new purchase! I wouldn't be able to take the hit at the gas pump but other than that sounds like you have quite the rides.

 

ill see your srt8 for a race up at bear mtn ... love the sound of pure muscle, enjoy !!

 

Sorry to see you go, only to welcome you to Challenger ownership. I own one too. Enjoy and see you either on the Z or CT!

 

That car is a beast, but quite an odd jump from a MINI. Two totally different cars.

Am I right in the new ones only being automatic? Thought I remember reading that, maybe not. Just seems odd.

 

Nice!

 

no - either auto or stick. if i were not retired i would never own a car with such dismal gas mileage but since i only drive a max of 2-3 thousand miles a yr it doesn't really matter to me. will post some pictures in my gallery. will miss the great info for the members on nam.

 

Dad and I just looked at some SRTs last night at the St. Louis Auto Show. Stunning rides! Have fun...

haha I was looking at buying one last week! in grey with black stripes. Beautiful car but the trans went into fail safe 5 miles in to the test drive with 8 miles on the car. Figured that was my hint so I ordered a 2012 JCW. Baad *** car though. They made leaps and bounds in the materials quality and options on the new SRT Challenger so I don't blame you but with gas the way it is there is no way I could do without my coopsta already having a V12 and R32.
anyways always sucks to looks a Mini owner known personally or not but nice choice on the SRT

 

You're going to miss your MINI!
