challenger scat pack: the brother from another mother (and father?)

[perryair]

an interesting take on the challenger, which counterintuitively makes quite a bit of sense for us on here too.

"Outside of a few focused machines like the MX-5 or BRZ, most modern performance cars try to do it all, juggling speed and handling with comfort and ride refinement and flashy technology and so on, with varying degrees of success. On the other hand, there are utterly absurd vehicles that revel in their excess with a sort of irony that I find unpalatable"

which is totally true if you think about it. those of us who bought a twin expecting it to be low, tossable, manageable at the limit, spacious for 4 and super fast were sure to be disappointed but outside of spending 6 figures for a panamera we werent gonna ever get all of that. like the brz, the challenger with the big motors care about getting just one thing extremely correct. for the challenger it is that visceral stomp pedal experience while for the brz its that go kart like feeling of balance and fun .

so rejoice for the single purpose car. be glad that car companies still care about being great at something and not mediocre at everything (sometimes). and appreciate this special car that we talk so incessantly about on this board.
