This was a Nitto post on facebook - thought it was one sleek looking beast.

That is very nice, but the new Challengers need a body line to break up that thick bloated look :Twocents:

Needs new wheels.

 :iagree: The wheels/tires ruin it for me. (especially the cambered-in Volkswagen looking fronts)
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Wicked looking.  I like it except for the wheels and WTF with the side mirrors?  The low stance is cool, and the front grill!

Those mirrors are the stock ones just folded in...

Damn this is a tough crowd to please. :) I am not one for big wheels...but this car is all modern.

I agree about the fat sides though... they took all the lower tuck out and made them too flat when they went from concept to production.

I picked up a 11 Challenger SRT this summer and have been enjoying it for a few months now. I have to say it is a fun car to drive.  :yesnod: I love my Charger, and the two cars can't be compared except they both are a blast to drive, just very different.

I would agree completly, both my 70 Challenger vert and Daytona clone are cool cars but they are different cool than the 09 SRT Challenger.

the stance on that thing is badass. Not a big fan of the blacked out grill tho...makes it look too camaro-ish.

But driving it that low would be a PITA. I have a 1.75 drop on mine and sometimes its a chore driving around certain places.

What do you guys mean the wheel / tire combo sucks? You can't even see what the wheels look like. Or is this a case of wheel size-ism? automatically hate them cuz theyre big? I think it looks awesome. The camber is gonna be an issue whenever you drop a car that much, but some camber kits may help with it.

...and put different wheels on it.

Grille reminds me of my blacked out 68 Charger, back in '72. 
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

Remember the good old days??  My first Charger was a year round driver. (and my second and third, for that matter) Did well in the snow and icy roads!!   Dirt trackin'!!!!
