What are their recommendations as far as break in ?

Im in the market for an old car.
I HAD serious thoughts to either a newer Challenger SRT or something, maybe even a Viper.
Went so far as to take a yellow hemi Challenger RT for a drive.
Came back and the salesman was ready to right it up then and there.
Told him no, I just couldn't do it.

The new stuff doesnt have the same feel to them like vintage iron does. At least not to me

Wife kept bugging me wanting a hellcat. Non stop. Already had a pretty bad ass 74 challenger with a non stock 426 hemi
So told her. Can have one or the other. She picked the helkcat.
So we bought a new 15 cat challenger stick shift. Had both for about 2 months
Holy crap. The old 426 hemi. Don't even compare at all. I truly can't beleave they sell something like that. It's unreal
And now they have even more bad ass cars and suv,s. Great times for sure..

Surprisingly, the Chargers look really good in white. When I cruise the internet looking at the various colors, I think the white ones are one of the best looking!

Don't baby it on break-in. Actually, you're already past the crucial break-in mileage.

I see a guy on my way home sometimes with a white hellcat charger with brass monkey wheels. EXACTLY how I would order one, it kills me every time I see it!

It is tempting to get rid of my Barracuda and buy a 1320 Challenger. I could get lots of enjoyment from one of those. I have a nice company truck but if I had to go back to my own vehicle it would be hard not to jump in a 1320.

I’m thinking that lMop has been PEAKING !

I was thinking about lime green or destroyer gray but there was nothing like that available......

And IN FLORIDA white is the only thing RIGHT !

The sun beats the heck out of a dark color !!

Sublime was '15 and '18. Go Green and Destroyer Gray were '19 IIRC. I was actually looking for PCP but when a deal pops up you go for it. Which is how I ended up with Ole Pinky.

After our infant grandson moved in with us, we traded the blue one for a Charger.

Trade in day. Someone got themselves an almost brand new Challenger. Hated to see it go, but having to deal with a child's car seat, four doors just seemed a better solution.
