well the last time I actually sat in one of these types was about 30 years ago!
This one I just drove had racing seats and harness belts and a cluctch from a C5.
The first thing I noted was how good visibility was, clear views all around.
The second was how tight the steering was. I thought it would be like steering a tug boat with one of those giant wheels you would see on cruise ship.
Pulling out onto the road the car's rumble gave me a feeling like I was a cool guy with a pack of cigarettes rolled into my t-shirt.
The ride was very comfortable! So loud at cruising speeds. And it felt very well planted in turns. Would I love to take this for an autocross lap...

Driving a boring, predictable, over engineered, compact/low sitting German roadster made this very refreshing. Great resales on some of these car too.
I rented a hardtop 05 mustang a few months back and driving a nearly 40 year old car makes me want to put that 05 mustang in a trash compactor. I wonder if the new Challenger will do better at giving you that muscle car experience.
