Hey folks, This has nothing to do with MDing. I know there has to be some car folks on here that might find this interesting. My wife (55 Y.O. ) last week goes to trade her Fd F-150 in on something smaller and more economical. Well, this is what she left with. She let me drive it to work yesterday. The picture of the speedometer was on the interstate at 4:00 in the morning. And it was still climbing. It is suppose to have an electronic cut off at 155. Let me tell you, driving with one hand, at 150, And taking a picture with the other is VERY interesting! Dodge Challenger RT 5.7 Hemi, 372 HP. But notice the most excellent avg. MPG! lol.

That's insane, good thing you have a badge. How well did it handle at that speed?
I quess going from a f150 to this is a big change.

Up to 140, solid as a rock. 150 gets a little :omg: or it might just be me! lol

I like to call these kind of cars Nostalgia cars. Sure do bring back the memories of the days of muscle and pony cars. I owned a Mopar pony car, 1970 Duster 340.
Back in the day, it was easy to burn a tank of gas on a Saturday night. The freeways were empty, racing was in the air. I backed my Duster off when it reached 140, the front was starting to become airborne. My excuse was I was young and stupid. MPG was slightly less. You and your wife enjoy that car. Be careful them horses under the hood don't run away on you.
