I went with my cousin on Friday to pick up his new charger. I only got to drive it about 50 miles, and it was still during the break in period, but all I have to say is wow. He had a charger RT previously and this feels like a completely animal. This car just feels like it is angry when you drive it unless you are breaking all the speed limits. For how large and heavy it is, it handles very well. I will be borrowing it to detail sometime in May since he gets a rental for work, so expect a review and better pictures then.
With my limited experience operating it, the ZF 8-speed is incredible. I can't believe that an automatic can shift this fast. I mean I am used to a TL automatic so any new car probably shifts faster, but still.
Nice, I used to hate Mopars til I bought one, I'd love some kinda SRT or Scat Pack some day, R/T will have to do for now.
I totally understand, I used to rip on Dodges for being garbage, then my cousin got his 2011 charger and I've loved them ever since.

That color scheme is perfect, I love the red alcantara. I feel the same way, I used to like the challengers better, but I feel like the charger is a way better value. Plus the new ones look awesome compared to the old style imo.
I'll tell you this... the Charger/Challenger Hellcat is something I have considered getting rid of the Vagon for. Both are sooo sweet. Same with the Scat Pack... so nice.
Definitely keep those pics coming... yours, friends, whoever
Everyday I think about trading the R/T for a Scat Pack, but then I think about having to find a new place to live and figuring out the future child support/visitation situation and then I move on because I love my wife too much. Someday though. Someday.

My cousin and his friend had a photoshoot of it last night so I should be getting more pictures soon.

Don't worry, you'll get one someday. My goal is to have a Viper eventually.
The new Charger is the best sport sedan for the money in the market today, hands down.
Too bad my Q50 Sport AWD is only 1 1/2 years old....I would lose too much money trading it now.....I strongly considering a fully optioned SRT 392 (unfortunately the Hellcat cannot be had with the technology package).
From a sport sedan perspective, anyone in the market for a 328i, Q50 2.0t and the other 4 banger offering, needs to have his/her head examined if doesn't at least take a new Charger RT Road and Track for a spin before signing on the dotted line.

Well said. My roommate is looking at 3 series and similar cars and I actually suggested the charger to him. He told me that the charger is too heavy and handles like crap. I asked if he had every driven one. What do you think his answer was?
I don't understand why people rip on the chargers. Yes I understand it is a Dodge product and sometimes they get a bad rap. For the money though, you get a rwd v8 sedan that you can daily even if you have a family and need a spacious vehicle.

Except it's huge, weighs over 4000 lbs, and doesn't come with a stick. I like the Hemi but it is a very different animal to a 3-series or ATS.
You're crazy if you think people should be required to cross-shop them.

Speaking with friends/club members who have the hellcat...yes they give me the BIGGEST hard on...but reality...Many of them moved up from an SRT and say the SRT was actually more fun to drive...why? traction...the hellcat can get squirly simply making a left from a stop because its hard to get traction...
Though all those guys are still running the shit stock tires.
I would very much love a Scat Pack. I love my Durango too much right now, though. I wish they would offer the 392 in it.

I didn't say people were required to cross shop them. My roommate loves all kinds of cars and getting a new one is more of a want than a need for him so I just figured he should check it out. He was cross-shopping a golf GTI, a TLX, and a 2 series the other day. Come to think of it he has probably test driven at least 15 different cars in the past month. He doesn't specifically want a certain type of car. What I was getting at was I don't understand why people talk crap on a certain car when they haven't even driven it or looked at one.
Also, I wish they did offer the charger with a stick to compete with the chevy ss. I know they wouldn't sell many, and probably will never do it, but a kid can dream.
Beautiful color. Your cousin made an awesome choice!
I came extremely close to joining to Team Mopar yesterday in the form of a black 6MT '15 Challenger SRT-8 while my 5.0 was getting an oil change. $45k for a used model with 15,600 miles on it though? No thanks!
First off, my hand is a respectable 8 inches measured from palm base to middle fingertip. @ asians trying to call me out.
Second, you are insane if you think 3 series and A4 buyers have to cross-shop Dodge Chargers. They are simply not in the same market, for better or for worse. I mean how many Scat Pack buyers are test driving C300s?
Third, you're all trolls. I came in here with nothing but positive comments for OP and he turns around and backstabs me.
Thank you for promoting this culture, mods.
