Anyone driven one yet?

I have. It was an '09 R/T, Black, 6-spd. manual. Just drove it around town and didn't really have much opportunity to really "experience" the 375 ponies, but I do know that 60 mph came before 3rd gear was required, and VERY quickly at that! :s021: Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on how you see it), I can't find the car that I want anywhere within 500 miles so I'll just have to live with the memories. :s005:

But I want one....bad.

My local dealer let me "borrow" one for the weekend. Let me tell you, this car is amazing. The one I drove was a Tor Red SE. You can just feel the fine German engineering in this platform. The seats were very comfortable and the controls were laid out nicely.I was also impressed with the power of the V6. The only drawback that I see is the size/weight of the car, and that they are not goino to build a convertible.

Just had the opportunity to sit in one, 2008 SRT, I was very impressed with the cars construction. A bit heavy but it's also a pretty big car. It 'sits' right, has the nice rake of a true performance car. I think I would only enjoy the manual tranny version 6 speed.:thumbsup:

I sat in an R/T and an SRT at the Ram Challenge last summer. It's definitely cozy inside. Almost like you're wearing it instead of sitting in it.
