I'd buy an Screw 4x4 5.0 18'. Throw a Roush or VMP or Whipple kit on it.

The 5.0 A10 pickups straight up scream. With boost on them, they damn near make cars obsolete aside from turning.

Screw for hauling friends, kids, and your junk around. Bed for doing house projects and buying stuff. Go offroading with the 4x4. Drag racing with the 700hp 5.0/A10 combo.

If I needed a bed/four doors, that would be a very solid idea! I saw that Lebanon Ford has packages w/ warranty for 750hp for the A10 F-150's.. Pretty solid!

I haven't read anything saying you want a big car or a back seat so...

The correct answer here is whatever vette fits in the budget

Have you had the chance to drive a Charger Hellcat? Slightly fonder of those, just curious.. Also do they handle as mediocre as the reviews say in comparison to GT500's and ZL1's? Thanks!

I have. I actually owned 4 Chargers on the current chassis, including 2 SRT's. They are great cars. I ended up keeping the Challenger and got a G80 for the family 4 door. The Challenger just seemed more of a sporty car, even though the Charger will hang with it on any track.

As for as cornering goes... its like anything else. You have to learn to drive the car. The weight makes it so steering input mistakes are not as forgiving as a GT500. I think that some of the negative feedback comparing the steering response has been based on either people being a fan of the Mustang over the Challenger or not running the car in track mode. The Default/Street mode is designed to give you a very comfortable ride and there is a lot of body roll in that mode. In track mode, its as good or better than the Shelby at holding the curves.

Fair enough

Thanks for the input! I like the idea of the Charger, lower mileage ones are still hovering in the high 40's.. Hopefully in 6 months they could be low 40's.

Would be a daily, so the terminator or Z/28 probably wouldn't cut it.

C6Z is always comes to mind for best value...
