2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 "Getting to know her"

These are clips thrown together from some time I spent on local roads getting to know my new car. I have about 1000 miles on it now and can't wait to run these roads again at higher RPM and lower gears this summer. I'm breaking it in my way :) Still this turned out to be a bit fast at times but the car didn't slide or even make any tire noise, however my ass did try to slide out of the seat. ( can you spot the 2 unmarked police cars? )

at 0:40 im sure that chevy impala was trying to test your patience...

@TheyCallMeHippyBoy actually, that was a State Police unmarked. Didn't notice till I saw light bars and other signs. He tried to bait me into a ticket but I wited till he passed the exit before I punched it, then exited. I fly by another cop at 6:05 and one more cop somewhere else in the video.

looks like Charleston, WV. Right?

[chicawakawoo]

@BuggyMasters First part yes, the rest is around Hawks Nest.

I just have to add. The revs are low in this video but speeds were around 60-70 going into some of these turns. Honestly, it just sounds slow... drive the road.

Who needs music when you have a 392 HEMI under your hood? :)

forget hitting deer, where you are driving it looks like you would be likely to hit a bigfoot lol

We have a state highway 114 and a state 16 in NC...both in which I travel on quite often. Highway 114 would be the scenic route going toward I-40.

@ThunderAppeal The new Challenger handles great for what it is 0.90 on the skidpad, Porsche GT3 and Cadillac CTS-V is about 1.02 G so nothing to be upset about!

I was disappointed when I was reading about the new Challenger to learn that its handling was not so great.

From what Dodge says the 2011 suspension has been revised and it seems so based on this video.
