How many miles would you say that you've covered so far?
In all fairness the Challenger isn't a bad drive for a 'muscle' car. It's a bit of a Goldilocks car in so far as it's not too hard yet not too soft so that it wallows into corners etc. Today, we've been down to Sedona. It drops about two thousand feet from Flagstaff therefore there are a couple of sections with some steep and sharp switchbacks. Had I not had traffic in front I could have steamed up there no problem.

My Mustang at home on the other hand is rock hard and you feel every bump. However it does handle but only in the dry!

I think I put about 350 miles on the first car before it died and so far I done 1100 miles in this one. There's probably another 500 to do.

Photos in a bit!
