The Super Bee is a stripped-out car. Tacky cloth seats, no infotainment, no comparison to the SS. Not to mention the Charger's status as the ubiquitous fleet and rental car.

As for performance the R/T couldn't beat the G8 GT and the 370 SRT8 couldn't beat the G8 GXP. Sure the extra displacement of the 392 will ameliorate that in a straight line but there is nothing about the Charger's track performance that tells me the SS won't be close. Rather than saying "they're not going to be close", why don't you provide some references to support your malformed conclusion? You keep bringing up a police fleet car as if it's relevant to the conversation.
And your marketing degree is from where? I thought so. Why don't you leave the marketing and sales to the experts. |
Actually, last i checked, Chevy provided the ubiquitous fleet and rental car in the Impala.
ROFL, I have already answered most of your questions. Please do your research on the Charger R/T. ALL comparisons were against the 08 Cahrger R/T, the 09 got a rougly 20-30 HP jump over the 08 R/Ts that were tested against the G8 GT (fyi, edmunds for example tested a normal R/T without the trackpack and only 340 HP, the Road and Track had 350, for 09 the HP went to 368-372 respectively and dynos show the difference was actually much greater), R/Ts with this engine have gone as quick as low 13s and mid 13s are pretty normal for a RWD model. For 10 they even added the Super track Pack from the Challenger to the Charger R/T Road and Track. Any 11 plus Charger R/T would more than give a G8 GT a run in ANY performance category since the suspension was tweaked to the point it is decribed as BMW like (hmmmm, sound familiar G8 fans?). You are using a comparison of, again, the old model Charger against the G8, there is more than extra displacement and HP in the 11 plus models, do your research. On the cover the differences between the SS and GXP are FAR fewer than the 08 R/T vs even the 09 model and the differences are absolutely huge between and 09 SRT8 and a current one(ie the fulley electronic multimode suspension, better bushings, etc etc in the that were not there in 09)

In any case, I am not arguing with you, but when the times and sales come through and i am correct, I will bring this thread back up to remind of our love

PS I also updated your picture for a dash to dash comparison.
