Even if the previous owner didnt take care of that truck, its still a sharp looking one....
I took the liberty of resizing your pictures....they were way huge..... and here they are....

I feel obligated to answer on this one (see sig)
mnboy is correct on the Charger R/T (07) rear end gears. My wife has a brand new one (under 1k) with the 2.82's. Although I have not lined my truck (3.92's with cai and flow super 40) next to it in a drag race, the Ram feels stronger on the low end to mid. The Charger feels like it would eat its lunch from mids to top end. This is strictly based on 'feel.'
As for driving perception, usually, the higher you sit, the slower it feels...
The Ram's lower gears, CAI, and muffler help the torque a bit, but add the same mods to the Charger, and they will probably even up even more on low to mid range acceleration.
Once the Charger is broke in, I will compare times on both vehicles at the track (both 1/4 and 1/8)...but that will probably be a few months from now. It sounds like someone ragged this Charger...if you don't think the Charger could at least hang with your Ram at mid range onward, I wouldn't trust it.

You got any kids? If you did you'd understand it's not that easy to your car clean. It also depends on how its used, for me I work in mine so at times it gets pretty rough. Sometime a wash and vacume every week just isn't enough. Besides when they pay $30,000 for a car they earn the right to trash it if they wish, it's their loss.

C35L,
Most people are worthless and don't take care of anything they own let alone respect the property of others. I bought my Charger from a woman. She hadn't completely destroyed it but there were little things on the inside which were completely ridiculous. It looked like someone had bitten the passenger door, maybe she bit it while being tailpiped. Also had some kind ash in the cell phone holder. Fixed those things with ease but I just can't understand how someone would be as worthless as that.
