What a tank. A pretty tank, but still a Dodge.

one of these days ill have to get me a ride in on or drive one myself.

o.t. to the original poster(muscle master) is that ur srt8 charger in ur dp and sig? if it is ur car looks stunning lowered as is and that pic really captures the lines of the car.

I have to admit that looks very nice, and that's saying a LOT, seeing as how I pretty much despise the color red; And despite not caring for the Chrysler company, they did a nice job on that car (visual wise), looks very slick and sexy. Thats an extremely complimentary color for it.
It's really a shame they made it so heavy & expensive...perhaps there will be a revision once they see how powerful the camaro is/will be.
For the challengers sake, I hope so. It's a neat car.
I'm wondering...is the Charger as heavy / heavier / less weight, than the challenger? (which one)
I'd still like to see some GFX on that chally, minus the spoiler..I think it'd create a very destructive look to it.

Nice tank, too bad the interior is the same as the op's Charger!

I have to admit, even being a GM fan. Some of you guys are hating on it. Dodge pulled off the exterior of the Challenger to perfection. The interior, not so much, but you have to admit it's a good looking car, and if they want to intrude on the V6 mustang base, they made a smart move. If they want to take away GT buyers with the RT, they've made a smart move. Well, at least for 6 months until the Camaro comes out.

I have a alot of respect for the cahllenger, my first thought with th charger was nice idea, 2 doors dipsh*t!. I have ssen a numbe of Mustang-Challenger compares, handling and acceleration the challenger is everybit as good and somtimes better than the pantyweight mustang.

Think of it this way the Highschool running back vs the nerd reading comics in the library.

the the RB takes off after the pencil necked twirp. Yep the nerd is smaller and lighter. Guess what he's still gonna get his ass whooped.

Kinda sucks that the people complaining about the challengers weight just got slapped in the face with a 3900+ pound pig. Just like someone else said hopefully dodge and chevy get their stuff straight and put both these cars on a diet. As for looks by far the challenger takes the cake but of course not many will agree on a camaro forum. But it is my opinion and I will take 200 extra lbs for the look of the challenger. The camaro looks more modern than retro , but it's still a chevy

In all honesty I like chevy, but cmon why trash a fellow american brand. I just hate fanboys. I for one have slipped a couple of times like that comment but sometimes I can't help it. why can't you guys just say not my cup of tea, or something less gay sorry lol. Some of the hguys on this forum are class acts when criticizing other cars but some of you AKA 40000 junk and porker when the new camaro is every bit of a porker kinda dissapoints me.

i think it's a beautiful car (and i wouldn't trash on Dodge we have one) but it just adds to the stereotype that american cars are just for drags and can't take corners for **** but really it is a great looking car when you actually see one

Well just to give you some info from my research apparently it handles really well just like the camaro it has a independent rear suspension. Even though these cars are weighing alot, they handle well now and a tons better than the old ones.
