If U want that U can actually buy a Cruze.. which as ever bit as evil looking as a Charger. The SRTs are bulked up surely.. but the paint scheme is what does it for those cars. Don't believe me?? Take a look at a a Base Charger vs an SRT.. No real difference in anything other than a paint scheme.. and the base Charger is about as intimidating as a Camry Hybrid.
Yes.. Chevy premiered the SS in Silver, which would make a 1963 Grand Sport look bland.. but alas.. they have other paint colors in the palette.. and if U want to tack it up.. I'm pretty sure that the "Bowtie" boys have some Camaro stripes to lay down the middle of the car to make U feel right at home when U pull up in your kid's High School parking lot or the trailer park
Here's the differences.. and as a 41 year old.. I have to say that I personally would.. AS FAR AS LOOKS.. take the Chevy and Ford over the juvenile looking Dodge any day and all day. Thrown in the more mature look of the 300 SRT and I would perhaps then give the Chrysler Co the nod. The tack heads were expecting was body cladding and/or craaaaazy paint schemes. The idea of a GROWN-UP Sports sedan not wearing a luxo name escapes them.
But on it's own this car will be the Sleeper of all Sleepers.. I see this barreling down on my in my rear view and decide to challenge I'm gonna get my ass surprised in a new way.
415Hp/415lbs of Torque in a 3700lb vehicle with an already proven ability via G8 GXP and Camaro SS to beat damn near anything in it's price range and $20K more.. I don't think that the speed shop is a necessity.. but considering the LS3 is one of the most tunable and cheapest to modify engines on the planet Earth.. |
WRONG, your weight is WAY low, try 3900-4000 pounds for the SS, heck the lightest Camaro SS is around 3850! I am sorry, but "anything in it's price range?" Not stock for stock, the Charger SRT, Challenger SRT, Even the 300C SRT is in it's price range and quicker, not to mention the Camaro SS, SS 1LE, Mustang GT, Boss 302 (well it would have been if still built LOL). It will be a low 13 second car with maybe a VERY rare high 12 (it is heavier with less HP than a Camaro SS wihich is a high 12/low 13 car with the LS3/manual). And at it's time, other cars that will run with it BMW 135, BMW 335i, Subaru WRX/STi, Genesis 5.0 R-Spec. And no the GXP didn't even beat down the old 06-10 SRT8s, the only test were they were put head to head they times and numbers were basically identical.
I also noticed you posted a picture of the Superbee with it's graphics, that btw is suppoed to look a little Immature, instead of the Regular SRT8 which will be the actual competitor.
You can even get the black part body colored if you want and FYI, there are huge differences in the exterior and interior between the SRT and all other model Chargers.
vs
If it was priced like a Charger R/T it would be a huge bargain, instead at around 46k when the GG tax is finally factored in it has ver stiff competition that performas with it or better.
And yes, i said I was done, but I am bored and couldn't resist.
And I don't mean to knock on the SS so much and believe compared to the German sedans in it's size and price braket it is a bargain, I am just upset Chevy half-assed it.
