Default So I wanna buy a Charger R/T...

Hey y'all, haven't been on these forums since I had my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 close to 7 years ago. Definitely looking to come back and join the party again. A few questions about the newer Chargers...

1) Do the R/T's come with HIDs standard? Or Option?

2) How are they in a 4 season climate (Chicagoan here).

I've read a bunch about these cars and my buddy has an 2013 SRT8 that he drives year round and loves it. Thanks in advance.

Are you buying new or used? You did not indicate.

you will need 4 good snow tires...imo, will suck in the snow unless you get the awd version.

Sucks in the snow. Its the open diff. A friend of mine bought a scat pack, and it went better in the snow than my charger rt. Get an AWD, or buy one with/add a limited slip.

Looking at this one specifically, just had a $4k price drop...

I've driven a RWD car during a 19+ inch snow storm up here before. I had a 2008 BMW 335i...handled it decently. Just took time to get off the line lol.
