For what they get for a new pony car these days... I would look at a 4-5 year old Porsche 911 with low miles.. and not take a beating at resale time.

I'll probably get chased out of here but if you're up in that price range you may want to take a peek at Tesla. It's American built and designed, very much in my mind a tech forward muscle car and the insurances rates are reasonable. I pay ~$100/mo on our sub 4 second 85D since it's one of the safest cars on the road including 100% replacement in the case of totaling the car.

If that's not a crazy suggestion happy to talk more about it, they've got no shortage of torque and hard to believe a 5k lb car will do 0-60 in 3.9s(whatever you do don't test drive the P90DL, that 3.1s 0-60 is no joke). It has one of the lowest center of gravity of any production car due to all the weight being down low so it's an incredibly nimble car for it's weight. Not to mention you can do a whole costco run with the massive trunk + frunk.

My boss has a Tesla and as you say they are crazy fast and fun.

With that said the 2008 BMW 335I we had was a blast. Twin turbo 3.0L strait 6 killed my buddies Camero. Nice little sleeper.

If your looking at cars like the OP is, your looking for a traditional muscle car, cars like Tesla, BMW, and Porsche aren't going to cut it.

Tesla makes a great car, two people in town have one, I'm impressed by them. Problem is always going to be range. One guy bought his in the Chicago area, I'm pretty sure he got it home on a trailer since they don't have the range to make it here.

You are correct dodge man.No interest in Tesla or Porsche just good old american muscle car..

I absolutely say get the Challenger SRT. Or nothing less than a 392 Scat Pack. I've marveled over those since the day they came out. They look the best, but if I were going to get a Mustang, it would be the Mustang GT350. I'm not even interested in the Camaros at all. Tesla's dont impress me much, theres a ton of them out here in the Bay Area, perfect for a town car, but the range and having to find a place to charge would drive me nuts.

That's totally fair, just thought I'd throw it out since we've had people who were looking at Hellcats and ended up landing on a Tesla.

Range used to be an issue but isn't so much these days as the supercharger network has been built out. I drive about 300mi roundtrip to Seattle each week for the last few years and could go further if I wanted to. They commonly do trailer delivery on cars depending on how far you are from the service center or if you're in a state where they can't legally sell due to dealer restrictions(don't get me started on the shenanigans that the NADA pulls).

Anyway, I'll bow-out since the OP isn't interested, carry on!

Yep, absolutely no interest in owning a tesla. Have ridden in one.

What is difference in
Scat pack,
Scatpack shaker?

 

[dodge man]

Not much. One just has the shaker hood option and some other appearance items such as stripes.
