I’ve been reading a lot about the challenger and the charger over the years. It appears the widebody is faster per the quarter mile for both cars.

which one has less issues?

Challenger can be had with a manual as long as it isn't a Redeye.

If you decide to get a Widebody, have the dealership do a wheel alignment on it before you take delivery. My brother's '19 Widebody Challenger's front tires are already done!! Not even 20k(Kilo's). Just a little FYI.....

And there are 4-5 colors that the dealerships can't order with a manual unless it is actually sold and not for lot sitting. *** is one of them. So remember to ask the question........

Tell your brother to look up the ALX page on facebook if he hasn't found it already.They hold weekly Wed night meets in Airdrie during the summer,usually get a good turn-out of Challengers / Chargers and sometimes a few older muscle cars.They also do a couple tours during the summer,that are usually a good time,lol

I've had 3 Challengers 1st was 5.7, 2nd SRT-8 6.4 470HP, then a 2016 SRT 485HP fantastic vehicles. Only problem i had was people saying nice charger. You won't be disappointed if you get one they are very nice cars. City, long trips drives very comfortable. Charger i believe would be the same. Just a heads up get a low profile jack if you rotate your own tires they site low. LOL I miss mine everyday but Michigan's weather made me get rid of her.

That’s my plan is to keep it out the salt and harsh weather unless it’s an emergency. I have the power wagon for the bad weather.

Came out of Home Depot one day after parking way on the very far side of the lot all by myself and here is what I saw when I returned. Someone did this just to be a *****. If I had the time I would have waited and had words with the goof. I wish I had one of those big heavy duty zip ties with me. I would have attached a shopping cart to their door handle.

I keep a bag of those, ********. Maybe he hoped some of that manly Hemi would’ve rubbed off on his toy truck.

This is another great example of someone being an *******. No need to park that close. He even went over the line if you want to be particular about it.
