Dodge Challenger?

[Legacywr]

Thinking of changing my Mustang Mach 1 for a Dark Horse.

But I’ve always had a soft spot for the Challenger.

I’ve not owned or driven a LHD before…

What are they like to live with?

Is insurance a problem?

It would be the only thrill I’d be getting regularly, unfortunately…

LHD wouldn’t be an issue for me. Unless you use a lot of car parks or toll booths then I don’t see a problem.
It’s a lot of car, it will turn heads and get a lot of attention. Arrange a test drive and see what you think.

You may have seen on here some commentary on insurance for LHD requiring experience of it. Good idea to check first, though it doesn't seem to be a common issue. My insurance was obtained no problem for a Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak.

Things that can be a minor annoyance to live with, in no particular order...

• Radios don't do DAB. So it's FM or rig something via your phone.
• Radios seem to be a bit buggy, with lock ups and freezing. Seems to be associated with having a USB stick when starting up.
• Active exhausts sometimes throw the odd fault code. I also had issues with the installation on mine draining the battery till I rewired it.
• For such a lump of a car, it's really a 2 seater, unless front and rear seat occupants are dwarfs. Being 6'4" maybe I am the problem....
• C pillar blind spots are massive. Enough to hide a car in. You are basically blind fron the passenger side window right round to the back window. This makes turning left at a T junction something that requires an acquired technique, especially if the junction has swept curves. Stopping on the lines at 45 degrees means you can see nothing coming from your right. So you need to stop square on. Or carry a spotting passenger...
• The 305 section tyres do seem to find all the imperfections on the road surface and create a bit of tramlining.

But all pretty minor in the big picture! The Redeye Jailbreak is definitely a bit of a handful due to the 807 horses, but the 6.4 should be a bit more manageable.

I have my Challenger Widebody Scat Pack up for sale (sadly due to new house purchase). There are only about 7-8 in the UK and mines by far the cheapest one for sale. Every single option and in the best colour (Indigo Blue) and only 16k miles. Let me know if interested.
