I have. They're powerful as all get out, but the build quality, interior materials and construction, parts manufacturers, reliability and longevity, and general poor craftsmanship leave nothing to desire. Once you've sat behind the wheel of an Audi A4 (IMO), nothing else matters. Even if it has some overboard 900hp Hemi under the hood. It's not my thing. I don't need some obnoxiously loud car with straight-line only capabilites to make up for something 'else' I might not have. Muscle cars are fun for about a half hour of stop light racing (especially beating the crap out of ricers), and that's it. I would never own one. I'd much rather have a twin-turbo Audi S4 that has all wheel drive to fly up or down a mountain full of twists and hairpin turns at the maximum velocity possible.

Life is too short to be driving in straight lines.

just a little bit of irony here, but isn't the whole technique of going through a curve at speed to make it as straight as possible? 😉

oh and Mwilding, that is a gorgeous car 🙂 I have a picture of a 70 Boss 302, white with black stripes on my wall right now, beautiful car. Same goes for the Boss 427(429? i can never remember)
 
I afford my Challenger by my parents since my dad is a die hard mopar fan and I grew up like him so he decided I should get one and pay him when I get the money which will be very soon. 🙂 I haven't taken the time to read all these replies but I will.
