More like "Dodge Charger Making a Mockery" if you ask me...

Charger = 2 doors

Charger = 2 doors

CHARGER = 2 DOORS

CHARGER = 2 DOORS

CHARGER = 2 DOORS

CHARGER = 2 DOORS

CHARGER = 2 DOORS


Now that I've gotten that out...

BARF! And I suppose Pontiac really thinks they released a real Goat, too.

That's true. They should have stayed truer to the original look like the new mustangs did. They don't even look like a charger. They look like the hemi station wagon made into a sedan with the RT emblem. It's a joke. Although I'm not a Ford fan I really like the look of the new mustangs. They caught the nostalgic look. If Dodge would have at least made the grill the same or something it would have looked much better.

Ford also got it right with the GT. And as much as I've tried to NOT buy a Ford, if GM and Damlier continues down this road, I just might jump over to the dark side!

Pic of the GT.. I want one!

I'm glad they haven't tried to "resurect" the 'Cuda.

May it rest in peace.

I don't care what people say, the new Charger SRT8 is one bad looking ride.
And fast too. Car and Driver did a road test on the new Chrysler 300C SRT8. 0-60 in 4.7 secs and a top speed of 173 mph. Not bad for a brick.

Same here, GM and D/C are lacking on the cool & fast rides, as far as cars go.

I am the pround owner of a 1970 Charger R/T, and the new Charger SUCKS!! But you can get a 425 HP Hemi in it. I prefer the 300SRT8 and the Magnum over the Charger. Chrysler is gonna **** everybody off by using the Charger and Daytona nameplates on these cars. The Ford Mustang is cool looking, but the interior sucks on the one I looked at. That GT?? Please 200K for a car that needs a blower to make 500 HP?!?!?! And is a copy of a 1960's body, not for me---but if that trips your trigger go for it. GTO--another HUGE joke.

My aunt has a 71 440 dodge challenger sitting in my moms garage in kentucky.... I've been thinking about making a trip to get it. Been sitting for 20 years. Lime green with a white vinyl top. I wonder if my cummins would fit.

I can imagine that it is in pretty good shape since it hasn't been used for 20 years.

And so, if you are not pulling my leg, and provided the car isn't beaten to the point of quadrapelegia with a sledgehammer, then you deserve to get thrown up against a wall and whipped... (Or get your fingers stuck really badly in a finger-trap...)

How can you let a free 1971 440 Challenger sit in a garage for 20 years? How can you do that? How is that possible!?! Unless that thing has all of it's fluids drained and is coated in consecutive layers of Kevlar, Saran-wrap and Line-X you are a terrible person. Terrible disgrace to humanity...

If you say that it's a 6-pack then I'm coming after you with a chainsaw...
