The challenge has been thrown
The challenge has been thrown down to the SS.
The Challenger will never handle as well as the SS which is based on the second version of the Zeta Platform. The brilliant handling of the SS will be improved even more by the introduction of the magnetic ride control in the 2015 version. The SS is also better built. The decline of the Australian dollar will give GM room to reduce the price. There are some other touches that GM can do to the SS, including fuel efficiency, manual shifter, and some styling touches - but it still will be very much in the (super) sleeper market. But the SS is not looking for mass appeal in the same way as the Charger and is aimed at people who are real driving enthusiasts who want great handling cars, that don't scream boy racer, since the SS is not aimed at mass sales.
