I got a good deal yesterday on a 2011 SRT8 392 HEMI. Thing pulls hard. I'm in the process of trying to get my celica fixed and selling that for a primary driver since I traded my tacoma in to get my horse power. I'm loving it unfortunately by the time I got home and did my chores it started raining so I can't take some pictures of the car. I have one from first thing this morning that I'll show. It's also fully loaded. Hopefully I can get a few more up.

Mustangs have sucked ever since the second generation, they're just now getting decent again here recently(2011-present). Hell up until 2010 the V8 Mustang only made 315hp with the V6 making 210hp. I was looking and according to the steering and suspension specs they now have a multi-link rear suspension.

I agree with you. in my last post i completely forgot about the terminators, (03-04 cobras) 4-valve supercharged 4.6 that kicks out over 400rwhp from the factory (factory numbers say 300-something, but they were severely under-rated from the factory) and once you upgrade the pully, you'd be pushing 500+ at the wheels. 6-speed trans and forged internals from the factory bowdown.gif (we need a drooling face in the line up..)

but at OP, nice find! whats the miles on it, if you dont mind me asking? I personally think that the challengers look the most aggressive out of the 3 muscle cars, but they are also the heaviest and slowest. frown.gif BUT I still love em tongue.gif

Depends on which models your comparing. Camaro SS is slower than the 392 SRT8. Now the SRT8 and Boss are on the same price point so I'd put them against each other though everyone wants to compare the SRT8 to the Shelby which is a more expensive car. I got it with a little over 5 thousand miles so basically when the engine was broken in. Cruising with no heavy accelerating I'm getting about 23 MPG which ain't bad for the car in my opinion.

But I bought it for the style, power of the HEMI, and the fact my family can fit in it. I was tempted by the FRS since I've been reading about the car for years but it's way too small for my child to be in the back. The challenger gave me power, size, and I love the looks. I have no regrets in buying the car and mustang or camaro wasn't even in the running. I was really between Challenger R/T, Passat TDI, and the FRS. And ended up w/ the SRT8 which fills my power need and my son absolutely loves it. It's turning him into a car guy lol. Not complaints here.
