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.

 

Holy cow.

 

beautiful car, i love the plum crazy - tough pick between it and the new orange dodge is offering

 

 

Agreed! I'd probably go orange but that Plum Crazy is sick!

 

This makes me curl up into the fetal position and rock back and forth mumbling scat - scat pack - pack. In a good way. Love it.

 

Sarlacc will be nursing a semi when he sees this thread.

Beautiful color & car

 

Thanks guys

It's funny you mention the orange.... here's his previous car

 

Love the color, looks awesome and like a lot of fun.

Hope your cousin can enjoy many fun miles.

Also, remember this car measures it in smiles per gallon so feel free to lean into it a bit more.

 

Love the new front ends on these things and the purple just looks so perfect on it.

 

Love it!

 

 

Can we stop jerking off Sarlac in every Chryco thread?

Thanks.



6.4L I would have gone for the SS 6MT sedan, but the 8 speed ZF is a capable transmission.

 

such an amazing car!

 

MTEAZY's browsing experience on AZ:

 

That car looks mean!! Love it.

 

Thanks again guys, he'll appreciate it

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.

 

I just ordered one of these yesterday! The way you describe how it drives is perfect.

 

You definitely won't be disappointed. What color did you go with?

 

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.

 

 

My Father had two Challengers (R/T and SRT8) and I hated both of them. He got a Charger R/T Road and Track last year and i love driving it.

 

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.

 

Nope...Full wood going on here

 

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.

 

Im so sorry, I know its disheartening how small I make I your hands look...

 

 

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.

 

Because a lot of people are closed minded.

Hell, I shunned off American cars until I bought my Challenger. But that was during a time, coming out of period when many American cars were garbage.

Time have changed, and some people refuse to open their eyes because of past experiences or ignorance.

 

...except it does handle like a much smaller car...

What is the take rate for manual 320i, 328i and ATS?? The Q50 2.0t does not even come with a stick.


If you do not want/need a stick people would be crazy not cross-shopping these 4 bangers with a Charger RT.

 

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!

 

 

Dodge says all the parts required to build my Charger have been collected and it is line for production. No ETAs on build or delivery though.

 

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.
