    I'd never take my Challenger there. My MX-5 is a different story. Challenger is simply too much of a porker. It's not a road where power is king, it's all about handling.

    Usually go up and down a couple times a year, and as recently as Sunday. It's not bad as long as your not a jackass about it and try to run it as a road course. If your in the area though go and do the Cherohala Skyway. It's much more big girl friendly.

    I’ve taken my motorcycle in the past a few times. I’ve had my challenger once. My challenger was under 1 year old when I took it up there. I came away with a huge appreciation for the way my car was designed. I never expected my “heavy” beast to whip around those switchbacks and corner like it did. I had my music on and a heated seat. But I felt like I was on my motorcycle again. Except I was warmer! My car was in a line of mustangs, cameros and corvettes. My challenger was chomping at that mustangs bumper the whole time. I was a proud challenger owner that day. DeVastor held his own and let me enjoy a road I used to think was best on a bike only.

    Haven't had the privilege yet. REALLY wanted to with our WRX, but could still be fun in the Challenger.
