^They don't make the Viper anymore. Though it will come back.

yes, thanks for the fun fact I was already aware of Chris...

my comment was based on his claim they don't give us real muscle.

well, Viper ACR. bam..and the engine in this new Charger is legit too apparently.

How silly of me to think we were talking in present tense.

OH, and another flaw....this thing still has 4 doors.

They still continue to use the 5spd auto in the SRT8? Meh.

It does look better than the current generation but the front does look like an Evo.

yeah, you should apologize.

and frankly I'd rather have this: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/2012-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-chicago-2011/

So would I, though something tells me these two cars are not exactly in the same price range.

Since Dodge brought back the Charger as a "family car" I can kind of see this transmission being slightly less out of place in this car than in the Challenger. The latter is a 2dr beast and doesn't even have a dedicated manual as an option...now that is dumb enough to defy description. And dumb enough to make it lose every time any car mag put it up against the Mustang and Camaro of comparable trim levels.

Then there is no comparison to say that you'd rather have one over the other. :lawl:

Now every time I see someone driving a Challenger I will see them as 6'2" and 300lbs. Nothing they can do about it.
