Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fun Semi Daily Driver?

[Charles Perry (charles]

I have to heavily endorse the Dodge products. My SRT-10 Ram is now past 225k miles and has only been in the shop 3 times for anything but scheduled maintenance – broken valve spring, broken cooling fan and broken belt tensioner. Amazing record for a 500hp 6000lb beast that does everything from burn Mustangs to tow horses.

 

That said, it sounds like a stock CTS-V would meet all your criteria. I’m hoping to squeeze in a CTS-V wagon this year if business remains good. Infotainment a little aged now but otherwise tons of fun.

You are probably right...

We will not buy a Mustang though.

We drove a Camaro 1LE and a Challenger 392.

Both were very well finished and performance was very high.

A journalist online compared the Challenger 392 to the V10 BMW M6.

After a brief laugh, I have to agree.

It is prob better looking and definitely a notch or two above in engineering/design for half the price.

We've never owned a Chrysler product but it is difficult to argue with.

Sounds like the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger fits the first four items without much debate and hopefully for you, the fifth as well.
