There's more than enough
roll, pitch and dive from the
chassis, and the pistol - grip shifter might be another retro touch, but it's annoying to use after only a few miles, especially
in conditions that call for constant gear changes — which you don't necessarily find often thanks to the Hemi's torque; just leave it
in third gear and you're good most of the time.
