If you're talking about on the street, I still disagree. Stoplight to stoplight doesn't happen in normal city traffic. Driving on 2 lane roads and actually enjoying taking corners 10 - 20 MPH faster than most is easily accomplished. I do it frequently.

Saying that the Challenger handles "exceptionally well" nearly made me laugh until you qualified it with "given it's weight and dated chassis".

My '49 Cadillac Limo handles exceptionally well too, given it's weight and dated chassis - but I don't try and compare it to a Camaro.
My '21 Wide Body Challenger handles better than my '14 Camaro SS did. The Challenger weighs about 300lbs more than the Camaro. The Wide Body has a 305mm tire as opposed to the standard narrow body 245mm tire. The wide body also has a handling package which includes 6 piston Brembo brakes. The car is well balanced and handles like a 4200lb go kart.

You could not pay me enough to own an electronic nightmare.... I mean Cadillac.. Late model Cadillacs are grossly overpriced and have a cheap plasticky feel..... 4 door old man car...Not impressed......
