the guys on our run in the muscle cars said the clutch was knackered on the Mustang so sounds like it its been replaced
I followed it out of vegas in the challenger to the hotel point and it sounded awesome
That was a bit of an extra for me as i did the exotics and also got the drive the lambo back through Vegas

Can't wait till I start looking like a grown up. 
Also, your description of the Challenger holds true for the less powered models as well. Such a terrible car.
Worst part for me was the auto box. It absolutely had no idea what I wanted it to do.
it my lack of hair which gives me an edge.
Mine changed gear about 5 times whilst holding steady at 55. Was stupid. Even when I planted it I never felt the power pick up, it just screamed a lot and then bogged down. Such a weird car, and there's hundreds of them about too.

oh yes same engine as the XKR-RS
Was it what you expected
It was better I reckon. Can see why it has such amazing reviews on TripAdvisor. The whole crew who run it were brilliant.

Nope, just sat in them whilst the exotics group were on their way. Exotics costs more iirc. Next time!

Yeah they told us it had got replaced recently as somebody had burnt it out  quite a bit extra wasn't it? Red Rock Casino is a fair distance away

Trimmed mine off last year, but don't think it added more than a few months to my visual age tbh.. 
Yeah, the downshifts while cruising are just crazy. Woke my wife a few times if the car hit a small incline and decided to downshift two gears with the sound of an explosion, while maintaining the exact same pace.
