Hahaha. That would be asking too much though.

Maybe, but...

I would hack off my own ***** with a dull, vinegar-soaked pocketknife while at the same time hold my ***** under an air-chisel to drive that thing![:@][sm=badidea.gif][sm=bangbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=helpout.gif][sm=happy046.gif][sm=insomnia.gif][sm=jawdrop.gif][sm=laughat.gif][sm=loser.gif][sm=outcold.gif][sm=pimp.gif][sm=smiley19.gif][sm=WTFsgign.gif]

The GTO Is Boring to me, the Charger has an extremely advanced, and next generation look to me, the RT itself Is beautiful let alone the SRT-8, the Charger and LX platforms have a great deal of advantages over the GM Cadillac and smaller GTO so its not even close.

I drove a new STS and a CTSv, then I drove a Magnum RT, I've also driven the '05 GTO, you're just either very biased, or you haven't driven them all. By the way, before you play the SRT8 card, the STSv will have a 4.4 liter engine with 440 h.p.!

i hear alot about what the new caddys "will have"...whats all this "will" nonsense? does the car actually exist, or is it a magazine article that people keep quoting? and what is the price of the STSv caddy compared to the SRT8 magnum? i would have to think that the caddy with 440hp would cost ALOT more than the magnum?

The Caddy engines are significantly inferior to the Chrysler Hemis, the caddy/Chevy small blocks need 11.0 to 1 compressing to get 400hp the 6.1 Hemi has 10.3 to 1 and is already at 440 horse power, and it is not force induced like the Caddy 4.4

RE: New Charger or New GTO?
i agree with you there, but does anyone know if this 440hp caddy actually exists, or when it will be in showrooms?

RE: New Charger or New GTO?
Well I am a avid Pontiac fan with my 98 Grand Prix GTP. I have done some tuning on it to increase HP & Torque but did not want to go overboard and have things breaking on me. The past 3 years I have been watching the cars and nothing has really caught my eye. Sure the G35 looks kinda cool but is more of a luxury type and is not much of a step up from the GTP.

I was excited when I heard about the GTO coming back only to be let down on the very hard to use back seat, no trunk to speak of and very bland styling. The 05 is an improvement with the hood scoops and the split rear exhaust but the scoops are not even functional. I also HATED the sound system. I supose they figure most people don't really care about seating 4 people comfortably or a trunk that they can use for more than carrying around a set of golf clubs. That maybe so but they really missed the boat on me.

They are coming out with a small block V8 GXP for the Grand Prix soon. Same for Impala & Monte. To me though it was to little too late.

So I got real excited when I heard about the Charger and the sizing, styling, HP etc. The 0-60 stats on the 5.7 look somewhat mediocre though. I was hoping to get into low 5's or better with my next car. I am not sure what the 6.1 will run. Anyone have estimated stats on that?

Anyway, I am a new subscriber here just starting to warm up to the idea that a Dodge may replace my Pontiac!

I was all set to buy a GTO when I heard they were going to build it, I was hoping that they would make it a 4 door (it is a Holden). But since it is only a 2 door, I bought my Magnum RT and just love it.

I assume that the Charger is only available with 2 doors also?

Happy with my choice,

Bob
