...ahhh; no worries, mate.

I bought a Scat Pack in January this year, sold
it in May and bought another Mustang in June.

...life is good, now....................

I really like the way they look inside and out. Never driven one, but I think the dash is a little taller or the seat can go lower. But, I was shocked that the backseat legroom is about the same (not according to the dimensions). I wouldn't mind an awd charger or challenger tbh while keeping my coyote. I read the 5.7 lifters fail and that the 6.4 can't handle boost like a coyote can. Regardless I think the Challenger is better looking than the mustang.

I think I would prefer a Durango 3.6 awd above them both though.

I was going to buy a Scat pack widebody before deciding on my GT350.
I looked for several months for a Challenger with 6M and all the options I needed.
Once I decided to just go ahead and order one the manual option wasn't available for a short while. (Alleged shortage of them)
Then the Shelby showed up and I made it mine.

Now I know who has the Race Red GT350 in Minnesota. Beautiful looking Mustang.
I doubt you've seen me much. Only have 600 miles on it so far. 😆

I was *severely* disappointed in the Challenger WB chassis behavior in curves and even in a straight line when hitting bumps. The whole thing would shimmy side to side like a staggering drunken sailor trying to follow a chalk line. Unreal PoS. I test drove 5 cars to make sure it wasn't just a couple of examples of the Canuks doing their best Ford "quality control" imitation.

The S550 is hardly 'tight' but it definitely doesn't have the same pathology.

Everyone around here loves those v6 challengers lol. Cheap-looking POS. The hellcats and such are great and all, but I don't trust dodge quality for ish. Love the scat pack widebody, wouldn't buy one.

Hard to sell cars you're not producing and shipping to dealers.

That's what I was thinking when I saw this "news" blurb. "Challenger out sells Mustang." Because Mustang production stopped, lots don't have many to sell (and those they do they aren't really selling under MSRP) mean while, Challengers that have been on the lot since this whole thing started are now being sold...

I wanted to like the Scat Pack Challenger 6 speed SO BAD. Mainly because of the Destroyer Gray color back in '19. I'm kind of glad I couldn't find one optioned the way I wanted and bought my '19 GT instead.

ditto. When I step into Koons Dodge Tysons the sales guys run away. 5 different times driving a 6MT wide-body over the course of a year, I think they can smell the stench of 'tire-kicking bastard' on me. The roads just down from that dealership are fun to pound on a car and show up everything that is wrong with the Challenger.

...so??

Dodge had the same problem.
Are you and 'wild horse related???????

...according to a search on autotrader, nationwide; there are 1,976
2021 Mustangs available.
Since Challenger only beat Mustang by 1000, don't see how not making
cars had an effect on total sales.

There's normally 5,000 or so Mustangs for sale across this country. Cut what's sitting on the lots by 80%, and raise the prices massively, and cars aren't going to sell.

Dodge had the same problem? Please, do share your information on the topic. With details. Tell us how long the plant was shut down, and what delays their production is seeing.
