Its a Dodge.

'Nuff said


...ok only kidding. I dont really have any hate for any brand of car or anything like that. Its a nice looking car, but as many have already mentioned I'm sure it is overrated... and yes. Its apparent that Nissan is able to make a faster car with less HP.. But then again the charger is a beast of a car (size wise), and will need that much more power to get it going down the road I am sure.

I would rock one, as others have said, in a black on black version. Too much weight though.

Had one behind me yesterday and wasn't too impressed with the look of the front end.... and IMO the front is the best looking part. Rear end is awful.
Challenger.... No Thanks.

Everyone go back and read the title of the thread. This is about the CHALLENGER not the CHARGER.

I think they are kind of sick looking actually... However turn-offs include: Weight, Gas Mileage, & American Made (Sad.... I Know)...

In general I like seeing different cars being manufactured and running the streets. No reason to hate. I would like my car less if everyone had one. If we all looked the same and ran the same life would suck.

I think the Challenger is old school and good looking it has modern technology and great driver seats. It brings back the days of the muscle Cars when Dodge, Chevy and Ford use to eat each other up. But from what I read this car can handle too or was it set to stay down in a straight run anyway its defintely a nice looking garage ornament because with gas prices you can't drive it daily.

At $45k it won't be able to challenge the Mustang GT in sells and the Boss or Cobra Mustang with the 400+hp engine is only $35-$38k with comparable performance numbers. At $45K its in C5 Corvette prices so I don't see it being a barn burner in sells. The Corvette is just a stellar Sport/Muscle car!

The 06-07 350Z 1/4 run seems as fast but its 0-60 run the hemi V8 is faster 0-60 4.7 vs. 5.3 but its $13-$18k more. I wonder how the SRT Challenger going to compare with the new Camaro. Muscle car to muscle car the Zs a Sports Car.

The 370Z will probably run off and leave the SRT maybe neck and neck but I doubt it, its hard to beat a V8s top end.

Exactly. We are talking about Nissan and Dodge here. You cant even put Dodge in Nissans catagory.
