Also, if you want a refined Muscle Car, buy a Mercedes. You can get an E55 AMG for not that much money, these days. They don't handle that great, but they are very well put-together, AFAIK.

SRT-8 Jeep Cherokee (Supercharged or Twin Turbo).

I'm just a sucker for actually having traction from a dig in the real world

Evo 8 or 9.

If no evo at all I would have been in a 2010 STI hatch. It was a big toss up between the two when I bought my X in 2010. I really like the hatchback cargo but the X is just a better car in every way.

Probably would have bought another TBSS and left it stock for a DD.

I was in it for long enough to come to a conclusion about the car, if that is what you are getting at. The plastic, inside the car, gives the impression that it was not made with care. The navigation system I did not like. The trunk liner started falling out within a couple of days. The suspension was wonky, to say the least. It wallowed in even the nicest of corners.

There is nothing refined about the Charger. Comparing a Charger to an Evolution, in terms of refinement, is like comparing the IQ of a kid with downs to a Pop-Tart.
I had mine for 6 years and 70k miles, nothing ever fell off or rattled, inside or out. Handling, well duh, yeah I said the Evo and SRT-8 don't even compare, but the NEW 2012 SRT-8 Charger clocked a faster lap then any Evo X did in the Car & Driver Lightning Lap. Sure it handles differently, but it's got to be respected from a performance standpoint.

If you haven't driven the current generation SRT-8, you can't really claim to understand the refinement. Virtually every review written has compared it favorably to BMW in terms of refinement, which all the reviewers admit is just as shocking to them to find that the case.

So on the topic, for me, 2012 SRT-8. If THAT didn't exist, maybe a G37 or a 370Z.
