I'm sure it can be done with some American ingenuity.

I'll second that, it and the Charger are sized exactly as they should be.

Trying to use a Challenger as a track car is like using a garbage truck to deliver mail. It just is not meant for that.
After spending a week with a V6 Charger, I have to admit it's a nice cruiser. It has plenty of power for the street, it's got all the amenities you'd want, if if they don't always act like you suspect.

It does have an odd mix of controls though, some being buttons and knobs and some being on screen. That's a problem for me because if I adjust the seat to my normal driving position, I have to lean forward to reach the right side of the radio.

The charger is an abomination against the name since it is a four door sedan!

I had a black V6 Charger rental when the FRS was in the body shop. Found it lacking in power on the highway but it didn't matter since every time I cam up behind anybody they pulled into the other lane and slowed down anyway.

Can't argue with that. It should be a two-door.

I haven't experienced the speed issue, but really haven't had it on the highway. Maybe I'll give that a shot before my car repair is complete.

Well it doesn't help that most departments (at least here) have already moved on from the Charger to SUV's.

It is a very eclectic mix here. Everything from early 2000s minivans to pick ups and Mustang GTs. They are slowly evolving into all SUVs though. You can never tell who is a cop anymore.

i dunno, when i was a kid, we used to buy those candy cigarettes just so we could do all our kid things everywhere in the neighborhood while 'smoking'...

it was also fun as a 9 year old to shout across the street to my buddy "i need another cigarette!!", especially when some of the older more crotchety neighbors were outside.

Yep, I remember those. I am pretty sure that even the ice cream trucks that came around after school sold them too, lol.
