@mimi03gti The Jeep was the quickest on short runs. I don't think any of the other SRT8s would take it in an 8th mile drag race but they probably would in a quarter, though not my much. My problem with the Jeep was the high center of gravity caused a bit more body roll than I was comfortable with and the nose really dove down when hard on the brakes. That takes a bit getting use to. The instructor kept telling me to stay on the accelerator it in the turns, it'll squat in and hold it, but
that point is definitely beyond most people's comfort range. Everyone, myself included seemed to let off early and turn out a bit. But once you learn to overcome that, it's really impressive.
The 392 Challenger was a blast on the autocross. Even with the traction control on, I was still getting quite a bit of wheel spin. They were all awesome cars. I was really surprised how nice the 2012 Charger R/T, much nicer that the 2010 Charger except the exhaust sound.
My favorite is the Challenger for a play toy, but overall, if I were to buy only one for a daily driver, I would lean toward the 300. The comfort level of the car was just fantastic. It's quick and handles great when you want it to, and just an incredible ride when you just want to cruise. It's really classy and quick.
So which vehicle did you feel more comfortable in driving the course? Wish I could take my SRT-6 out there.
