Leading up to the 2008 IMPA Test Days at Pocono Raceway, we had compiled a short list of must drives. Top spot on that list was held by none other than the Dodge Challenger SRT8. Few cars have created so much buzz in recent years and few cars have stirred the memories of so many. Getting behind the wheel and looking around, the car truly does feel like a bit of a time warp. The low roof and the cut of the C-pillar truly feel like the Challenger of old. I couldn’t wait to take it out on the track.
Oh yeah, having just spun the Viper, I managed to behave myself and keep the pumpkin on the pavement!

On the shelf next to the go go berries

Just a thought but I am willing to wager the Cones felt saver with you off the pavement.
Oh man, I had to watch this. Gary, you were playing it cool, it sounded like you were shifting early.
