Default Z vs. Challenger SRT8...Dodge: STFU

I read autoblog and Edmunds daily at work to try and keep up with the cutting edge in car news and cure the bordem streaks. After reading about the Challenger EVERY FRICKEN DAY, I am frankly quite tired of hearing about its lackluster performance. Let me break it down to those who Dodge has not brainwashed yet:

0-60 mph: 4.9 seconds
¼ mile: 13.7 seconds
0-100-0 mph: under 17 seconds
60-0 mph: 110 feet

The HR Z is right there with it....100 hpr less. The 370Z is going to hand it it's azz on a platter with 50 hpr less. Am I the only one who thinks this car is a waste of money???

Yeah, I think that the charger srt8 looks sick. But I really dont know how it would match against the HR Z. It does look like a weighs alot. But if I wasnt such a Z enthusiast I would consider that or the GTO.

1: the charger was brought back to excite those who had em as teens and whatnot AND for the people who were too young to have em back in the day that admired them. plus i think dodge was shi*ttin bricks about there car sales

2: the SRT 8 edition is kinda like the superbee "conecpt" but faster (i think or im an idiot) either way, it's just a performance upgrade

3: The SRT 8 looks sick. black on black....it's definatly an aggressive looking car.

I agree with you. Infact I thought the same when I read about it in Car and Driver. It really is a big let down and then theres the interior.....

The new Camero looks much better.

So you are sick and tired of hearing about the car, yet you invested the time to do all the reading up on it, then spent even more time making this thread about it, including your copy/pasting of stats.

The Challenger will not bring back the thrill of the 1970s when gasoline was 40 cents/gallon.

You realize that's a dagger through the heart, right?

Cold blooded...
