Fair enough. I wasn't aware the 5.7 was a completely different experience from the 6.4. Oh well, the only reason I'd consider a Challenger is because it has an actually usable back seat...although now I'm wondering how the Challenger R/T handles for daily driving and occasional spirited driving...
Beautiful cars, @JaxBill and @MM24GT . The California Special in Oxford White would be my ideal GT build, minus the Performance Pack (I prefer the non-PP look personally, plus PP would place me outside of how much I'm willing to spend on a GT). Would either of you happen to have IRL photos of...
Um...do the Challenger and Charger handle/take turns at speed about the same? (specifically R/T and Scat Pack) I'm curious just because I saw some the other day and the R/T models were discounted significantly. I test drove a Charger R/T recently and wasn't impressed by the handling so I'm just...
Thank you for the explanation.
So to sum up, for a more comfortable/quiet ride, should I be looking for a tire with less width and more sidewall height on a square setup? (Still debating whether to go 18" or 19" on the wheels. And I'm sorry for being so slow to understand this whole tire/wheel...
Okay, I think I just realized that 265 or 275 is referring to the tire width, and 40 is referring to the tire diameter. I had them mixed up the entire time. Yikes...
On a related note, when I try to configure tire/wheel setups on Discount Tire/Tire Rack's websites, there are significantly less...
As of today, I think I've finished test driving all the GTs I need to. Everything else I'd be looking at would be purely aesthetic. I think the main takeaways from my test drives are as follows:
1. The tires on the S650 are likely better quality than my EcoBoost's Pirelli all-season tires (the...
Personally I wouldn't mind a 4-door sedan or liftback as long as it handles well with the Coyote engine. Could such a package fit in a Fusion-sized vehicle or would it have to be Charger-sized?
Strange. One of the GTs I test drove had it. And I know it had auto start/stop because I got startled the moment the engine turned off by itself. Fortunately it can be turned off, but I'm not sure if it can be turned off permanently.
But...but what if I want to debadge my future 5.0 and make it look like an EcoBoost? 😝 Or even better, try to convince everyone my GT is actually in fact a Priiiiius?! 😖

Thanks everyone. With all this information, I'm thinking of running a square setup with a 265 or 275/40R18. I could do 265 or 275/40R19 as well, recognizing that the larger wheel sacrifices comfort for a "nicer" tire/wheel profile. Problem is neither Tire Rack's or Discount Tire's website really...
(I'm new to modding in general, please be patient with me if you can!)
I understand why you'd go with a smaller rim and I agree there, but I'm not sure I understand the logic behind less rubber on the tire aside from "less product = less noise, more comfort". Does this mean then that you can't...
The only thing I'd want right away that aren't exterior/interior colors are climate controls (car and seat) available as physical buttons/knobs alongside touchscreen access, and black Brembos and Magneride for non-Performance Pack models.
Besides those, I'd like to see:
1. Eurostyle taillights...
So basically if I ever became a millionaire or more, I'd be a dealership's worst nightmare because I'd be the guy most likely to have the niche color combinations (albeit as tastefully as I'd like it to be) and niche option combinations. That is also genuinely good to know, thanks! 🙂
Heh, the Prius is option #2 for me if my plans for a GT fall through. Yes, it's nowhere near as fast as a Mustang, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy test driving the latest one.
