They ended up stopping at the same gas station I did. They were on their way to Willow Springs race track to let the magazine and media people check it out. Just after the charger left a black 392 challenger pulled in going to the same place. I talked to the guys in the challenger and asked if they would let the public come watch the charger on the track. He said not today but Friday they are going to do some Ariel shots of the charger drifting and tearing around the track.

Not all the SRT's will be blacked out.  It's an option to have body colored bumpers.

Bad ass lookin' ride.   :2thumbs:

 L-88?..  :scratchchin: i thought that too,.. i think the REDLINE concept had that hood but it wasn't on the initial Autoshow car... The overall sedan proportions just don't work well.. it reminds me too of a bloated WRX which was never a looker either...
You take away the overhangs, the Sharksmouth Grill, the Hidden headlights, the Two Door Hardtop with the "fast Roof line... Blunt the front end, put a full load in the diaper in the back... and we go from teen model to post menopausal human resources director.  :eek2:

Notice how the grill is much smaller now, which is very similar to some photoshops members had me do when the first photos came out. Personally I think the SRT8 looks great! Much better than the stock 2012s.

Make it idiot proof, and somebody will make a better idiot!

I definitely like this one much better than some other versions I have seen. I am curious so see what the final version looks like when it hits the dealers.

That was my first thought as soon as I saw it.
Stylistically, the only way to describe this car is "confused".
It's like they made one of those mug shot flip books for cars and randomly combined stying cues.

Idiots! That's an Audi. :rotz:

Thanks for posting the pics. I think its the nicest looking modern Charger yet. I wish they would do something different with the center grill - that still needs work.

Just when I thought adding some retro 69 styling cues meant they were finally starting to get they turn around and give it a Chevy hood tratment and an Audi grille.  Might as well throw some F150 taillights on there and maybe a horn off one of those Shriner cars.

well this one looks better than the original one they came out with. I like the door lines, and hood lines, and the rear lights. I mean of course they could do a ton better. I just dont like it. If it was called the Dodge whatever i'd be fine with it. But since its called  a Charger I wanna hang myself. haha.

needs a charger grille....

The whole front end needs reworked badly for it to even look like a charger.
