Where have you been? Partof the big stink over the new car is the door quantity..... but that's only the first of many issues with it! It's 4 door ONLY.

 

Finally got to touch feel and watch the new Charger RT in action. I absolutely love this vehicle. They putt it up against a New 05 Ford Mustang GT. The Charger not only beat it in acceleration and breaking, it beat it through the slalom test, the Stang spun out trying to keep up.

The mustang GT has the loudest stock exhaust I have ever heard. You couldn't even hear the Chargers, all you could do was watch it smoke the smaller and not even comparable ford.

The coolest thing was watching the Viper and Ram SRT-10s do a burn-out/drift ballet of smoke. When 95% of the people left, they brought out a 300C SRT-8 and drifted that baby for about 50 feet also.

Hey sniper226, the 300C SRT-8 is already in the high 12s down the 1/4 mile with an Auto. you show me a stock GM w/auto that's not a vett than can do this. The Charger SRT-8 will be even faster. Even a Charger RT will get a 13.9 before its even broken in.

Getting to look at this car up close I looked it over very well and I truly love every curve.

 

Ok, a new GTO. (You asked for it)

 

Wrong. In fact, not only can it hardly get into the mid 13s with an auto, its listed as 13.3 with the 6 speed. Thats pathetic.

 

indeed...last weekend of last season at the track, i watched an auto GTO (i like the new gto, but it should be called a holden) struggle to get into the higer 13s...

 

The gto looks just like all of the other pontiac cars. They needed to make it actually look like the original, not throw a corvette engine under the hood. I hate it.

 

To be fair, you really need to conduct the same poll in a GTO/Pontiac forum. Of course Dodge will prevail here.
(Even though I like the Charger better and I am a current Pontiac owner)

 

ok,......... Food for thought, apples to apples would be to compare the SRT-8 Charger to a GTO though, the SRT-8 Charger 5 Sd Auto is already in the high 12s, what would it be with a 6 speed + Good driver................

Well some are far from reality, this one guy says "In order to get me in a charger you would have to offer a 2dr, M6, and try and come close in interior quality." What an idiot.... Seriously, Interior quality from GM cars that are not caddys?? BAAHAHAHAA...

Anyway though, they dont seem to bad overall, I just see a whole lotta underrating the LX platforms, Do any of these guys realize they are comparing a sport 2 door foundation to a 4 door sedan foundation... Maybe if we dropped 600lbs and added a 6 speed there would not be no contest. But now-adays everyone compares apples to oranges so it doesn’t matter.
