I love it so much. Too bad the cops had to steal it haha
Does it come with a stick shift? That wasn't even an option on the last charger.
Why someone would buy a car like that but not want a stick is beyond me.
My brother-in-law in TX is a traffic cop and he was driving one for his patrol car. He said it wasnt really all that, as far as the cop car goes. Kind of surprised me but I guess they didnt really soup it up much. I bet the highway patrol guys have better ones.
I'm not sure if its an option in the new one or not. The V6 doesn't need the stick but the 5.7L R/T version and the new 6.4L SRT8 version I'm sure you can do this if you please.
Here are some of the stats I found. (SRT8 Model)
Introduction Date: Fall 2011 as 2012 model
Engine: 6.4-liter (392 cubic inch) HEMI V-8
Estimated Power: 465 bhp
Estimated Torque: 465 lb.-ft.
Estimated Handling: .88g on skidpad
Estimated Top Speed: 175 mph
Estimated 0-60 mph: High 4-second range
Estimated ¼ mile: High 12-second range
I drove teh R/T AWD at the car show last month, and it was hands down the best sedan at the entire show. I don't care what anyone says, domestics are back and can tangle with the best the world has to offer.
We have an '08 SXT at home with the R/T suspension package on it, and the new cars are just so much better.
Even though the R/T I drove at the show was significantly heavier, it just felt lighter and nimbler. Not to mention the extra 122hp helped a lot...
Not bad little stats there...
That said- all cars need a stick! My little 4 banger mazda3 is a blast to drive, if only because it is a stick shift. Even the run of the mill v6 will be more fun with a stick than without. More and more though, cars are going to dynamic gearing or paddle shifters. Sure, they may go faster but what the heck am I supposed to do with my left foot?
Haha! The extra boost in HorsePower would definitely be a help there. I love the new things Dodge is coming out with and bringing back the Durango is a great idea.
Once the Caliber is thrown to a fiery death, and the Avenger/Sebring meet the same fate, Chrysler will have the best line up out there.
I like it alot as well.
I honestly think Dodge has a very impressive lineup right now. Actually, all of Mopar seems to be rebounding very well. The new Grand Cherokee and the new Durango are my favorite new SUVs on the road.
The RAM got truck of the year last year from motortrend and it would be the truck of my choice with the cummins diesel but I dont get to choose my work truck.
The one thing that I would like to see more than anything though is I would like to see them shrink down the size of the challenger to closer to its original size and do a retro interior like what was in the original 1970....then I would get one for sure

I don't think the single tail light suits the look of the charger. I am saving up for an 06-07 Charger right now over the summer though. I want this to be my first car.
Ever seen a '66-'67, or a '68-69 (technically not full width but close enough)
reminds me way too much of this:
