buddy has one. i don't care for the large driveshaft tunnel.

we have to put three kids across rear sometimes, and that looks tight.

but the kids don't mind for short rides, and they think it's "so cool" they like being seen in it....

mod'ding it is pricey, the Dodge TCM is pricey, and pretty much required to modify shifts much.

he put some kinda high dollar tuning box on his PCM, and it would not shift at WOT. ....oops....

Just reading the latest ratings on the new cars. The testers had a 300 which seems very similar to the Charger in chassis and engine components. They all liked the looks, thought it drove very well, but downed it some for too many initial problems and for resale value. In my opinion, the lower resale value makes it a great used car buy. I love the looks of the 300 but the Charger, when done right, looks plain mean. I was quite impressed with the road handling and ride, sits good, and the V6 is quite surprising. I have not compared the mileage numbers between the 6 and the 8. I do note the 8 is quite a bit more money even used. Guess it all depends what you need in the car - - a racer or a good family car.

Yeah, Bob the V6 is pretty snappy, though I think the soft transmission kind of masks it.

The Challenger I think is a really nice looking car, if a person could live with a 2 door.

As it turns out we just had one of ours towed in due to spewing coolant.

They have still been quite dependable overall,though.

I'm supposed to be at work driving one right now, but I got bit by a dog...

This is close to what our new ones will look like. This is a mock up of the car but we have 250 of them coming soon. I can't wait

Don't worry yall, they're like our trucks. You know, the Cummins is great but you get the Dodge with it. Same thing with the Hemi
