Dodge Charger....

Does anyone here have one of these? OMG I saw a lime green one at the dodge place yesterday, and since all of my vehicles are paid off I just might buy one after I find Kodi a reliable car. She will have her license in about 2 weeks and I need something small for her before I buy something else. And Michelle...I love the looks of the Dodge trucks but my brother has TWO and he has to keep two because one or the other STAYS in the shop! They goos good as $hit but they seem to be unreliable. If I had my choice of trucks (by the looks I would buy a dodge!) I wish you good luck, they cant all be bad though! <p>Anyways, anyone have a charger here????????????

I drove a yellow Charger Daytona at the Hershey Good Guys event last year. You got a free T-Shirt, so what the hell. It was nice, but talk about a pig. It felt like a 6,000lb sedan. I'll take a good BMW M5, or Mercedes E55 over it any day. Dodge trucks look great, but lag way behind in Consumer Reports reliability. I am thinking of replacing my T100 with a Silverado or Sierra, but as much as I want a big loud truck, I'll probably end up with a Tundra.

Silverado or Sierra not much better than a Dodge??

If you're looking for a small car, a Charger isn't your best option. And giving someone with a brand new license a 250-350 HP rear drive machine like that is asking for someone to say "Just how fast CAN this thing go?"

I've never driven one, but I have tried an SRT8 Magnum. It's basically a case of "I want more horsepower". If you want to go faster, or spin the tires more, just increases pedal pressure.

I think you misunderstood... I read it as she wants this after she buys a small car for her daughter...

Yes Chris you read it right. No way is this for a 16 year old.

"I'm going back to bed now."
GOOD NIGHT CRAZY-P !

Dodge is bringing back the Challenger which is pretty much a 2 dr charger that looks pretty good but is going to come out with a pretty healthy price tag. Today I was checking out pics of the new convertible camaro that looks awesome.

I saw the Camaro convertible last week at the Cleveland auto Show.

The first picture is the Camaro Convertible and the second is my wife in a purple Charger Daytona.

Yeah, more or less. She was in love with that charger, Especially after the ride in the Black SRT8 one.
The Camaro looked great and I can't wait to see it hit the streets. The year 2010 is going to be an eventful one. You'll have the 5.0 Mustang, The Camaro SS, and the Hemi Challenger. I'm trembling thinking about all that roaring V8 muscle.

Qatar

The country here is full of those SRT-8 Chargers and Muscle Mustangs (500 - 600 -700- 1200 hp S/C), but if I wanted to invest my money into a new car, I would definitely go for a 2007 Grand C. SRT-8

I am in love with it

I drove my friends R/T, it handled like crap and didn't go as fast as I was expecting.
