This is the 6.1 liter SRT Hemi that produces 425 HP at a price that is under $45k. Much more affordable than the Shelby Mustang. I still wouldn't buy it but they are sure nice to watch in action.
Yes, I was a closet motorhead. Give me good old American muscle. I know there are nicer, more refined cars out there from Germany (mainly) and some other countries but I'm a sucker for the American muscle cars that I grew up admiring. I never owned one - I opted for the gas efficient 4 cylinder, front wheel drive cars. I even owned a Honda once (hated it) and an old Nissan back in college.
My favorite car is my current Mustang. I also owned a WRX but I didn't like the turbo lag and the premium gas required to run it.
My favorite car to drive EVER was Corvette ZR1. It was the fastest American production car back in the 90s and it was amazing.
OK - enough about cars. I just had to take a trip down memory lane.

My Subie was turbo-lag free if you revved it just right (meaning revved it up high) before launch:-)
I'm an import generation member.
But I still admire the muscle cars. I just wouldn't buy one. Doesn't mean I wouldn't DRIVE one though!
That Shelby looks really ANGRY at something!
(Maybe at Honda or Subaru?)
It's angry all right - can't be driven to it's true potential on our roads - it needs the Autobahn.
