thank you. If I could get the Durango to accelerate like the charger I would be in heaven. Since I can't I guess brakes and wheels are next. Oh also the 8.4 screen will be a nice upgrade for the 2014's

Are they getting the 8.4? Who put your R/T suspension parts on the D? Was it avdetailed job or straight forward?

My wife and I just bought a '13 Dodge Dart Limited for her new ride... It's got the 8.4n and I have to say the interface is much more user friendly! There is one major drawback though... no accessible hard drive like you would think there should be.... In lieu of an HDD you get a SD slot and your standard USB port that you can access a thumb drive through. If the 2014's have the same setup the 730n is still a 1-UP in my book.

As a side note, the 7" TFT screen on the DART is 10,000 times better than what is on the current Durango. I'll leave it at that.

No the charger has the 8.4 screen and it is much more user friendly then the durango's. It is so much better then the 430 that I would considered trading just for that. Now if they put the 8.4L in there it would be a no brainer. They day they anounce a SRT version I'm heading to the dealer.

The suspension is straight forward, I was going to do it myself, but pepboys said they would do it for $100, so I couldn't pass that up.

I don't use the hard drive so it isn't a problem for me, but it works so much better I think I would just use a SD card. I stream all my music from my phone BT. Works really well.

How is the Dart? fun to drive?

The Dart is absolutely fun to drive... I'd say even more fun than my Durango R/T. On top of that, you're not burning gas like there's no tomorrow.

If you're in the market and not in a rush I'd suggest waiting it out for the R/T or SRT-4
