2011 it was 41% and that was just RENTAL fleet sales. I tried to find some more recent info but that is it. However, in 2010 Dodge's fleet sales were 58% of the companies sales. Not good.
Dodge has the stats of a RWD R/T at 14.0@99. The G8 was 13.8@101. Like I said, mostly a drivers race. Also, like I said, the Road and Track model is a little faster than the base R/T. If you show me a bone stock Charger R/T with a 13.2 I can show you the fastest bone stock G8 GT at 13.3.
As far as the BMW comment, the G8 was compared with the 5 series as well. |
LOL, whatever you say, just like the Charger most G8s are high 13 second cars at best, 13.3-13.4 are rare, like the 13.2 on the Charger. the only real difference performance wise between a Charger R/T and one with the Road and Track package is gearing period. 2.65s vs 3.06, not a huge disparity. Even the far heavier AWD cars are 13 second cars now. As for fleet sales, Chrysler, Dodge etc is now WELL below Ford and GM in fleet sales, here is some more recent information for you.

Oh, and I actually LOVE the G8 GT and when it came out it rocked the industry as much as the 300C did in 05, but it is 5 years later and as much as the 300 is outdated, so now is the G8, as will the current Charger be when the get refreshed for 15 which BTW WILL include the 8 speed auto across the board....
