Well since those are the two I'm trying to decide on, I'll need to wait until the Dodge SRT Charger is available before making my decision. Right now, the 400hp GTO gets the vote, although I do like the interior room in the Charger. No decision until I can compare the two side by side, I'm not in any hurry to decide. I'm not looking for the super options pacages that will be offered in both, I just want POWER!

I picked the Charger but it's a tough call for me. The Charger seems the more useful of the 2 cars by far. If the back seat is anything like the Magnum I sat in last spring it's gonna be comfortable for the rear seat riders (the Goat doesn't look to be too comfy back there) and the Charger's gotta have a usable trunk (the Goat's is pretty small.) The GTO has sentimental value for me since my Dad has a '70 GTO vert (400/4spd) and that is one sweet car. The Charger, love it or hate it it stands out either way. The GTO looks too much like a Grand Prix but I bet it's a little faster with that 400hp engine. And you can get a stickshift in the GTO.

I would take a Charger SRT-8 for sure over the GTO. I agree it does look to much like...actually a Grand Am with a body kit. The back seat should be the same as the MAGNUM since the entire inside IS the Magnum. That front end is mean looking which is nice. Just wish the Rear end had a little more style. Still hard to tell between the Mitsubishi Galant and the Charger...just look at the lid and tail lights. NOW if they used the 1999 Concept rearend. THAT might have looked pretty interesting. Somone should photoshop THAT.

For muscle car wise... the 2004+ Pontiac GTO is still my favorite... this year it is powered by the 6.0 LS2 V-8 turning out 400 horsepower and 395-ft lbs of torque. It is a coupe w/ muscle car 2+2 seating, as well it also has options for a six-speed Termac T-56 transmission or a 4-speed Hydra-matic Automatic.
The new Dodge Charger, is a very sharp looking car... w/ gauges the mock muscle cars of the past... I do love the Charger, don't get me wrong... but if the boys in Auburn Hills, took the LX platform, cut a few inches off of the wheelbase, to about 112", made a coupe, a true coupe similar to the GTO, none of this hidden doors or anything... put 2+2 seating in it, optional six-speed manual w/ the 5-speed automatic as standard equipment... make the 3.5L HO standard, 5.7L HEMI (MDS) optional, and a 6.1L HEMI top-of-the-line model, like the Charger will have, plus add some retro styling like the new 2005 Ford Mustang has, but w/ the features that the big boy LX platform cars (300 Series, Magnum, and Charger) have, w/ a sticker price starting at $21,000 to around $36,000 for the top model, they would have a winner.
Another thing that I hate to hear, is "I want Chrysler to build a modern day Cuda"! Plymouth is GONE, and so is the Cuda... just remember, what car was just as killer as the Cuda and had a Dodge nameplate, that would suit a car I was talking about above... how about Challenger... Just think, you could have a killer HEMI Charger for the family, and on those weekend cruises down Woodward Ave. you could go in your 2006, 2007, or whatever Dodge Challenger R/T... and be the envy of all those modern day Mustang and GTO owners!

I would go with the Charger although I'm not a fan of either... Relatives of mine have owned a pontiac grand-am and it was just trash. They may not all be bad but still....

I agree with TJ, while I'm not a fan of the GTO I do think it is the better of the two. Make mine a six speed as well.
Oh, Bob on your cuda rant, remember the prowler was a plymouth as well. But it was wearing a chrysler badge when it died. So it has happen before, so it could happen again. The name means more than the challengers does.

Haven't you heard? Chrysler is bringing back the 'Cuda. And in the true spirit of redefining all automotive categories, Creed is making it a minivan!
