Dodge products always stuck great motors in cars that couldn't turn left or right... so for me -- it's like who cares. On a twisty road - the base Corvette would probably run away from it.

I had an SRT 8 -- hated it. The 425HP sounded good at the time - it was such a ho hum vehicle that it just sat in the driveway.

What bugged me almost as much as the lame ass motor - was their plastic everything. The "hand" of the controls was so yesterday... especially if you got out of it and then took a ride in my sons Audi S4.... similar costs and the Audi was just so much more car.

The SRT ranked right there with my BMW M5 -- both ranked as two of the most disliked cars I've ever owned --- and I've owned a lot of cars.

Your thoughts echo what I've read about the pre-2015 Challengers interiors.

The Big 3 have really shot themselves for years cheaping out on interiors.

I read the C7 Vettes' is much, much better than past efforts.

Supposedly the 2015 Mustangs' and Challengers' are much better too.

Time will tell.
