I looked into it and apparently it is going to tip the scales over 4,400lbs - which is not going to give word class handling nor braking (Challenger is the worst handling of the late model triplets anyway).

Modern tech aside, the car is a heavy boat - a 3400lb car would only need 545hp to keep up, not to mention better handling, braking, and mileage.

Good looking car - may be a collectible one day. But not my cup of tea.
