i am not flamming, and in not flamming, i can state my opinion....would it be better if i used the word imbisile... or moron...how about this...anyone who thinks that the charger is not directed at the group i described is VERY VERY foolish. better?

charger or not...having driven a magnum, and based on the look/price of the charger, id MUCH rather have the magnum.

That's better, in my opinion. People can disagree on many subjects, that is diversity. Not having the appearance of respect for anothers opinion is bigotry. I was just annoyed by the constant use of harsh words when all we are talking about is car. Everbody should lighten up a bit.

I know emotions get in the way of our fingers from time to time when we type but come on people! Either learn how to spell or use the spell check. It's bad enough to read these rants but to see the spelling and grammar butchered like it is,sheesh....
BTW, I like the Charger, didn't at first, but it grew on me, thank you, carry on.

Here is my point about common sense. Just because it is old does not make it garbage. What year. or years of "old" chargers have you ridden in Nick? So you are also saying "old" Cuda convertibles are garbage as well? All muscle cars are garbage? Please how ignorant of a statement.

Joe
Exactly. I'm 18, I live in the era of compact sport. I wish I could own an older muscle car. My dad owned tons of them and he still has one. If it wasn't a money problem I would take an old muscle car (preferably the 69 charger r/t ) over any compact car. Yes some guys can get 500 hp hondas or something but a muscle car you can get the same and some for half the money. If anyone has EVER ridden in a nicely done up muscle car, trust me there's no turning back. My first experience was in a 69 camaro like this http://stropespeedshop.com/69_camaro.JPG
execpt he had a blower 6 ft tall and such big cams that it sounded like it was going to stall. This was when I was like ten but I understand what it all means now lol. He took off and I thought I was going to s**t my pants. It sounded so mean with dual exhaust headers cams. That thing moved. Trust these guys when they tell you "old garbage" isn't garbage

Chrysler must be doing something right. They are making good profit with legendary names like HEMI, 300, Magnum and it will continue with the new Charger! Despite not looking like a 60's and 70's Charger.

To add to the discussion, compare the performance figures in the following link to those of the Charger SRT 8

http://www.musclecarclub.com/musclec...-history.shtml

Now consider the handling, braking, ride quality, fit and finsh, rust reistance, electronics, convenince fetures, etc. of the old Chargers to the new one. Maybe two doors is your thing, but the new one is a better car.

I've been coming across some photos of the new Dodge Charger including the SRT-8. Personally, I really like the new look. Their is history behind this car but it even with the four doors I think it looks real nice and more practical. I’m looking forward to seeing one on the road...

If that's the criteria you want to use for comparison, a new Hyundai is a better car than the old Charger technologically. Doesn't mean that I want to drive one of them either.
