Pros
Power
The 6.4L Hemi makes this monster capable of blistering acceleration at any speed. Certainly more so than anything Ford turned out that year.
Ride and Handling
The firm and controlled feel of the SRT suspension gives the vehicle superior cornering precision and a quality ride. Steering is brought to you buy good old-fashioned hydraulic assist, resulting in the ability to actually feel the road in the steering wheel. A novel concept, this day in age.
Braking
The standard equipped Brembo 4-Piston caliper and vented/ slotted rotors are capable of bringing the vehicle to a controlled stop from any speed, in incredibly short distances with little brake fade. Perfect for when BMW drivers cut you off.
Cons
Weather Versatility
Because the vehicle is Rear Wheel Drive and makes 470 foot-pounds of torque to the drive wheels, it doesn't exactly make driving in slick conditions easy. It's an American performance car, not a European mountain goat.
Fuel Economy
The 6.4L Hemi V8 (even with the ability to deactivate 4 cylinders under cruising conditions) doesn't exactly scream "economical", as it averages approximately 21 MPG highway. Don't know what else you'd expect from a V8 performance motor.
Cost to Maintain
Being a V8-powered performance vehicle, it (expectedly) incurs pricey service intervals. 7 quarts of synthetic 0W-20 for high tolerance motors isn't cheap, folks. Nor are the high-performance tires you'll shred every 20,000 miles if you aren't careful.
Pros

It has a Hemi, need I say more
