It's still going to weigh more than a neutron star and be the size of Minnesota. Pass.

I love the Challenger. Only muscle car I would own.
Muscle cars are suppose to be big and substantial. No Miata here. |

It's Dodge. They'll still find a way to make it slow and boring.

Out of all the new muscle cars, the challenger wins hands down in looks. Probably the last one I'd buy though.

I agree that it's not supposed to be a Miata, but it's just a massive car that carries a lot of weight. The cars it competes with get away with not being so damn large, so it's not a necessity. |

Definitely the best looking of the three, and sounding too. If it weighed similar to the Mustang, I'd be driving an R/T right now.

um... they're hoping that by pairing the new engine to an *automatic*, that it will better compete with the ZL1 and GT 500?!? ok dodge. maybe if you make it front wheel drive, it will compete with the Corvette ZR1!!

All of these cars should be 3/4 scale. I just don't understand how an enthusiast could find such a land barge appealing.

Of course. That's doesn't mean I have to like it.
IMHO, it's a big, useless car. Huge on the outside, not huge on the inside. Pretty fast, but nothing special, despite all the noise. Handles like ass, no matter how much tire they put on it. ****ty steering. Interior is junk. 470 HP, 13 second 1/4 mile. All that shout and noise, and you can't really significantly outrun your neighbor's 300 HP 335i? IMHO, this kind of car represents everything wrong with the American auto industry. The complete opposite of the cars they should be making. Give me a V8 RWD Fusion-like car instead of these huge ****boxes. Last edited by SoapBox; 06-03-2013 at 09:30 AM. |

Not saying i want one either, but it appealed to him.
The baby boomer generation was pretty big, and a number of chryslers more successful (for a time) models have come from providing them with retro looking cars. They want to sell you a dart, it was kinda sorta endorsed by but not really in fast and furious, and a rally car driver made it spin in the dirt, and a male model quarterback, and you can even have grandma chip in for your rimz on the internet. |

The Challenger is actually pretty roomy on the inside, and the trunk is large. Still way too heavy though.
They need to chop 10% of the curb weight off the Mustang/Camaro/Challenger for the next generation. That would give us curb weights of about: Mustang GT: 3,256 Camaro SS: 3,474 Challnger SRT8: 3,753 But that'll never happen so I'm wasting my breath. Maybe they can drop the curb weights by 5%? |
