a muscle car by its most basic definition cannot have four doors...this is a four door performance car.

I'm excited because of a 4 door muscle car. it is like a better looking intrepid that doesnt have a **** enghine, and thats all i want
See... thats exactly how I feel. The car seems to put together several pieces as far as the Hemi engine, 4 doors, ohh that cherry paint, the displacment system (though I don't know much about how it truely works since I have never experienced it, the idea sounds cool), the price point already released...help me out, there are a ton more. I am actually curious to know all the details to what makes this charger better or different beyond these basics than other cars since I have a lot of room for growth in my car-knowledge.
As far as look that some people are squabbling about, I think the SRT-8 is a fine upgrade though even the standard model looks mean.

BadStratRT, This is a perfect example why you will never work for Chryslers Marketing group.... With that line you just ruined the statement of performance meets everything else. The New Charger is nothing like the old, and calling that car an aries and a total insult.

no..i will never work for chrysler marketing group because i wasnt a marketing major...
and believe me..if this new aries doesnt sell like you guys think it will...there wil be PLENTY of openings with DCX...
i mean, i would love to see the car sell well, but just because 3 guys on DF think its the coolest thing ever, doesnt mean that the rest of the world does. for instance, have a look at the poll at the right of the forum...i dont like it simply because i dont want a sedan...im just not in the market for one...i dont care what DCX calls it..i would like a RWD coupe...i was hoping this would be it, as were many other people...
my bottom line is that i just dont need a big sedan...and neither do the others that are bitching about it...i dont know why DCX bothered with the charger, because they already have the 300, and the charger is just a 300 with a different body, whether you want to believe that or not..it is the same chassis, and the same driveline...with a different body...i just dont see the point in making another sedan...

Dont matter 4 Door Coronet was on the same frame as the Charger in the late 60s. the 06 Charger Is THEEE CHARGER, Not a Charger, It is The Current Charger in the world.

Well I am more concerned with real performance attributes, such as REAR WHEEL DRIVE, and 360 to 450hp American V8s, than I am about how many doors my cars has.

unfortauntely the charger isnt in that range...although i do see your point, but at the same time, those of you who just want big hp numbers and dont care how the big car handles, you will continue spending your time watching the tail lights of the lighter coupes like mustangs GTOS, and vettes get smaller and smaller as they effortless handle the turns, and the strip.

LOL Maybe you see these tail lights more often than not. And seriously brush up on your math skills, the Charger more than qualifies for every attribute I just mentioned.
Range from 360 to 450, lets see,
Charger Daytona is listed at 350hp and really makes closer to 365 at the crank. I think thats in-between 360 to 450, And I dont even have to mention the Dayton because the Charger SRT-8 Is rated at 425hp and makes closer to 450+ HP LOL... Its not that complicated. 425 Is inbetween 360-450 Yet It really makes more HP. And with a few bolt-ons it will be 480 to 500hp range.
OHHH I almost forgot, the RT Charger Out handles the Stang GT Is the Slalom, So your way off on ever section buddy. This car isnt every in comparison to the Stang, Or Vett anyway and never was. Stop comparing apples to oranges. The new GTO is also not in the same class.........

oh..youre right...i was talking about sports cars...not over priced sedans...
350 is BHP...not WHP...i dont know where you get your hp numbers...and where did you get the info that although the charger is listed at 425 it makes more like.450? show me a dynop sheet of either...you need to stop paper racing, 'buddy'...your arguement is just non-sense that you have rehashed from whatever you read...its not like dodge would just happen to fail to mention that their new charger actually makes an extra 25 or so hp....
.it isnt like youve seen a charger run in person and beat a mustang..and while i hate the mustang, i will believe that when i see it in a non biased forum...while i think the auto stang may be slower than the charger...the stang GT with a manual is running in the mid 13s...whereas the charger is not, if it is, i want to see video, and a time slip.
the SRT8 doesnt exist to the public yet...when its out, you can talk about it...and "a few bolt ons" doesnt mean anything..."with a few bolt ons" my mirada runs mid to low 12s...
and what sports car do you have that has made you the written authority on racing? i imagine that you will spout off about how you have this and that and they both run 9s...youve just never mentioned it before...
and for the record, i dont spend much time looking at tail lights...i dont drive an overweight family sedan, or a truck...

I love when the defense falls back to say all that is important is performance. Yeah. Not only is that not a conversation about a Charger, it's kind of odd for a discussion about any car to most. But anyway...
Simple fact is, they built a car and slapped the name on it and are using the history for marketting. That's the simple fact. They didn't set out to build "a Charger" as already defined by what the majority of folks remember as "The Charger".
So you can like the car all you want, and call it a Charger cause I'll be damned if that isn't the name on it, but it most certainly is not "The Charger" let alone whether one considers it "A Charger" or not.
