4140 lbs!!! God that thing is portly. I wouldn't be surprised to see it stuck in the 13s with that much weight to throw around.

well, the srt-8 charger-300-grand cherokee's are either as heavy and heavier...they all go low 13's and into the 12's.
Meh.. just like any stock LS1 can do 12's. I'll believe it when I see it.
Expect the Camaro to be that heavy as well. Crash standards and safety equipment.
The stupid Solstice weighs 3000 lbs.
not any stock but alot of them. 13.3@105 showroom stock is damm fast though!Quote:

The rare ones of either have gone as fast as 12.7 (in the case of the 300...there's one on youtube/or the streetrace sight iirc) bone stock...generally, the jeep's respond to the simple mods the best...Quote:

is it just me or is that car begging for a two tone paint or a strip down the side???
No, I think it would look good too. It would help to mask the high belt line that car has, which makes it look just as heavy as it actually is.Quote:

Good to see it's slower then the GTO (12.9@108 v.s. 13.3@105)
Gay.........
i was really looking forward to this car hitting the dealers, but it is starting to look like nothing more than a regular dodge car with a regular dodge motor to me?!?!?
have to wait and see, but it is losing its appeal to me everytime i see some info for some reason.
The more I look at it, they ruined that awesome looking ass on it.

when looking at the profile of it, is it just me or does the ass end of the car seem to come to an abrupt stop? just doesnt seem to flow very good past the quarter windows. So far yet another yawn from dodge. a heavy tank with a powerful engine. GM accomplished this in 2004 with the GTO. Dodge is late to the party yet again. The charger totally sucks ass. Who the **** wants a 4 door charger? I dont recall them making a 4 door charger in the 60s or 70s, so why would they now? When they retro'd the mustang they didnt turn it into a 4 door.... and they arent turning the camaro into a 4 door, so wtf?
I'd rather have a Caddy CTS-V or an STS-V
a 3,725lb GTO is nowhere near the 4100lbs of the Challenger, especially considering a Trans Am would be about a 3500-3600lb car.
You?!? Get out!Quote:

i agree with dan. i would rather have a gto than that challenger a this point, the gto has a good platform to make some great power and alot less weight
from the side that car looks like nothing more than a shortened charger. sorry its cool but not that great for me
exactly. its cool, but not as cool as it could be, and not enough to make me want one.
and yes, I think it would be kickass to have a CTS-V or especially, an STS-V
The blizzard hit in hell too?Quote:

Much like the Charger with the Daytona packages, I am quite sure that every year there will be several new high impact colors, limited runs, special editions, etc. That's why I am waiting... With any luck they will even make a version with the 392 Hemi...Quote:

god i want this car REALLY bad! i think dodge kind of ruined it with the crappy interior. the concept interior was awesome. but, if theres a 500 hp hemi under the hood putting power through a six speed, who can argue with that?
not to seem STUPID here....but what are these BILLBOARDS you all speak of...yes the older Challenger had a R/T and T/A STRIPE....as far as i can remember the CUDA had the only BILLBOARD on the full rear quater....and 13's for that car...i'll still take it....seems alot of lighter cars go 13's as well..STOCK...but as stated..i think the car will go faster with all the options they will being adding every year and special editions........JMOQuote:
