Well I am more concerned with real performance attributes, such as REAR WHEEL DRIVE, and 360 to 450hp American V8s, than I am about how many doors my cars has.

 

unfortauntely the charger isnt in that range...although i do see your point, but at the same time, those of you who just want big hp numbers and dont care how the big car handles, you will continue spending your time watching the tail lights of the lighter coupes like mustangs GTOS, and vettes get smaller and smaller as they effortless handle the turns, and the strip.

 

LOL Maybe you see these tail lights more often than not. And seriously brush up on your math skills, the Charger more than qualifies for every attribute I just mentioned.

Range from 360 to 450, lets see,

Charger Daytona is listed at 350hp and really makes closer to 365 at the crank. I think thats in-between 360 to 450, And I dont even have to mention the Dayton because the Charger SRT-8 Is rated at 425hp and makes closer to 450+ HP LOL... Its not that complicated. 425 Is inbetween 360-450 Yet It really makes more HP. And with a few bolt-ons it will be 480 to 500hp range.

OHHH I almost forgot, the RT Charger Out handles the Stang GT Is the Slalom, So your way off on ever section buddy. This car isnt every in comparison to the Stang, Or Vett anyway and never was. Stop comparing apples to oranges. The new GTO is also not in the same class.........

 

oh..youre right...i was talking about sports cars...not over priced sedans...

350 is BHP...not WHP...i dont know where you get your hp numbers...and where did you get the info that although the charger is listed at 425 it makes more like.450? show me a dynop sheet of either...you need to stop paper racing, 'buddy'...your arguement is just non-sense that you have rehashed from whatever you read...its not like dodge would just happen to fail to mention that their new charger actually makes an extra 25 or so hp....

.it isnt like youve seen a charger run in person and beat a mustang..and while i hate the mustang, i will believe that when i see it in a non biased forum...while i think the auto stang may be slower than the charger...the stang GT with a manual is running in the mid 13s...whereas the charger is not, if it is, i want to see video, and a time slip.

the SRT8 doesnt exist to the public yet...when its out, you can talk about it...and "a few bolt ons" doesnt mean anything..."with a few bolt ons" my mirada runs mid to low 12s...

and what sports car do you have that has made you the written authority on racing? i imagine that you will spout off about how you have this and that and they both run 9s...youve just never mentioned it before...

and for the record, i dont spend much time looking at tail lights...i dont drive an overweight family sedan, or a truck...

 

I love when the defense falls back to say all that is important is performance. Yeah. Not only is that not a conversation about a Charger, it's kind of odd for a discussion about any car to most. But anyway...

Simple fact is, they built a car and slapped the name on it and are using the history for marketting. That's the simple fact. They didn't set out to build "a Charger" as already defined by what the majority of folks remember as "The Charger".

So you can like the car all you want, and call it a Charger cause I'll be damned if that isn't the name on it, but it most certainly is not "The Charger" let alone whether one considers it "A Charger" or not.

 

my buddy's Cummins pulling truck has 400hp and like 900 lb/ft of torque..and it will also smoke mustangs...his best time is in the low 13s...but its still no sports car...and thats my whole point..

i dont care about the name...they can call it a freakin viper for all i care...i just want something small, in a coupe...id settle for a neon coupe.

 

Delete this post.

 

Why would DC Make a Charger of "Yester-Year" First off, Its called product progression. Chrysler isnt full of idiots, and would never just come out with a car that has already existed for years.

 

And your point is....????

But yes its obvious you would settle for a Neon Coupe, your not interested in performance or American style vehicles, you are just interested in how many doors it has.

 

i am interested in performance...thats why i have this...

and if dodge made an SRT-4 "neon coupe" im sure that it, like the sedan, would smoke magnum sedan....i mean charger...

by the way...you dont drive a sports car of any kind, so stand down junior...my "2 door mitsubishi" would hand your tired truck its ***. as would my mirada...and with a governed speed of 130 in the charger, my RT would outrun it on a long run...and since you evidently didnt notice..my mirada does run 12s...with a small block...

the SRT4 is a sedan under 30k, that will smoke the charger...

by the way...stop double and triple posting...thats why there is an edit button...
