No offense taken[8D] if fact when I first saw pics of the Charger I was like no way thats a Charger (it may even be ugly), but when you see it in person it looks a lot better. I'm sure I will be getting crap from old timers but I didn't buy the car for the name but for what it is, a mean looking fast street machine. So what is wrong with Gen I Chargers that came from the Coronet? Do those not count or are they like the mid 70 Mustangs and shunned by the in crowd. Sorry for the rant but tired of hearing how it's not a true Charger but when I look at the rear there it is the word Charger right on it even on the sticker. Next they will tell me that the Hemi isn't really a Hemi. Oh well time to go drive my what ever it is.

 

Infernomag,

Hey my friend you by all means own and are enjoying a Charger. I in no way was trying to say otherwise and was not trying to make a poke at you or other 06 Charger owner. I just happen to like like Gen II Chargers best. that is not to take away from the Gen I it's in every way a Charger and counts. Just not my favorite. I tried very hard to seperate my best wishes for your new ride and my particular taste I apologize if I failed.

 

No problem I was mainly talking about some others on a different site they were flat out mean and unaccepting. To each their own otherwise we would all be the same. I have not been offended by anyone here yet. I understand the love of the older cars. I grew up with several Mustangs in the family and still have a 66 coupe that I am restoring and I wasn't to crazy for the 94-98 cars so I know what your talking about. I just don't think Dodge was looking for a clone like the new Mustang, will it pay off remains to be seen. Needless to say this is still a nice car and a blast to drive.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

I LOOOOOOOOVE IT! Your car that is . I hope to get mine soon too but in black (R/T in the Road/Track Performance group maybe)

 

Quick question...anyone know why the 5.7 has two different horsepower ratings? What did they do to the Daytona that they didn't to the R/T?

 

Good luck on getting one the dealer had a cool vanilla, silver, black and midnight blue. It was a tough decision. For the Daytona they tweak the intake and exhaust a bit would be my guess but I think the suspension and trany will also be tweaked to make it handle and perform better for racing but I not 100% sure.

 

hmm....i thought everyone hated the charger when it first came out lol. looks like it wasnt so bad after all, just like i thought haa.

 

I like the Charger and liked it when it first came out. I just ignored all the anti-4dr Charger folks and their opinions.

 

I'll admit it when I first seen just pics of it I wasn't too impressed but the more I looked at it and finally seen it in person it really grew on me, then I drove one and that was it.

 

I was hooked on the stats and pics, yesterday I saw one in person and that was it! 4 doors or not, I love it! My son would love the monitor in the back too, lol. He's only 1.5 years old and he's already got favorite DVDs
