In the last year, I have hardly touched it, just used it. The only bad thing - The engine has one missing head stud which was like this in the donor car when the car was built in the early 90s. Apart from the stud, this is mechanically way better than most Challengers you will find for sale. Hard to distinguish from the real thing and much more practical. Owners club with fantastic technical support.
