I wish this was a choice for the new charger.

Straight line performance? Yes, the new @#$* Chargers will out preform the "old" school Chargers. Yes it is way cool to have one (we all agree on that aspect), but here is the solution I had come up with when deciding to build my Rally. I am going to buy a $9000.00 crate 6.1 ltr Hemi with the PCM, set the 340 Mag aside (it is a numbers matching car), and then see what "new" concept car will do against it. Yes, I will even see if my 2010 Rally R/T Challenger will hold up to it. A few changes to the braking system ($2200), the "old" school Charger needs new shoes' to stop on a dime like the new ones do. I figured that after all that is added up, I will still be "under" the $30,000.00 mark I had previously set for this build. The way I see it.....problem solved and no new #%&# Charger will out preform it. And just think, it will have the "cool" factor way beyond that new thing they call a Charger. Just my  :Twocents: on this problem.

I wonder what the mustang, camaro and Corvette folks think about the changes in their cars over the years.   Then again, those cars still are produced and keep the status of a true performance car not a sedan.   Dodge is making baby steps in the right direction with the Charger and that's great. However, I doubt we will ever see it loose the 4doors.  I for one don't care as long as it looks good.  If I was looking at buying a new car it would have to have 4 doors.  Hell, any truck would have to have 4 doors also.  I like the room.  

Correction, I'd definitely drive the new Challenger with it's 2 doors no problem.

Oh God, you don't actually consider that to be representative do you?  The "pre-game" drama interview has him hoping for anything less than 20 seconds from the 68 and voila, it turns 19.5.


sheit is funny though...... :icon_smile_big:

I love this pic!  Too bad it will never be produced.  It would make a great stable mate to my 69 Charger.  In the mean time, I will enjoy my wife's 2010 Challenger R/T...even if it IS Furious Fuchsia colored.
