    Did size matter?

    One of the ongoing sagas in the Mustang vs LX battle, has been... Im a big guy, and I just dont fit in a Mustang or "sports car". I KNOW this was one of my reasons...

    I wanted power to have fun, and was willing to give up raw speed for the comfort of not having my head hit the ceiling, or my shoulder (and posterior) hit the door.

    So it was recommened on a current thread to post a poll on the subject... How many of you guys and gals bought the car because you just dont fit comfortably in the mustang size interiors?

    not only do I not fit comfortably in a Mustang, I don't fit AT ALL! LOL!

    The Magnum was as close as I will ever get to fitting into a sports car. Fortunately the Magnum has style!

    I will attest to the fact that Mr. Freak wil not even fit in the passenger seat of a maggy, let alone one with a sunroof.

    I voted on behalf of my dad, but from my experience at auto shows and such...There is no way I can fit comfortably into most other cars.

    To be honest...I ordered this car before it was ever released so I had no idea what I was getting. I initially ordered it because it looked pretty bada** and had some power to go with it. I figured worst case the wife was going to end up with it and I'd get something else. I just took the interior dimensions and matched them up to another car that was close and sat in those to determine if it was going to be even close and it was. The only thing that sucked is getting the sunroof I apparently lost an inch, and thats the only part where it's close...depending on how my hair is that day on whether or not it touches the roof...lol.

    I have a son and wanted a 4 door auto (since I live in socal). To tell you the truth I was looking at the GS450h but had to wait 6 months (60k+) to get it and at which time my neighbor said come take a look at the charger srt8 we have at the dealer... The rest is history, for 38 and some change I have a fully loaded srt8 that is way fast and turns more heads than the Lexus or any merc could do.... well except maybe the Maybech.
