    I was pissed that the 2008 Chargers had a much nicer interior than the 06/07... now, check out the Challenger's interior... its nicer too! WTF?!?!

    I wasn't THAT impressed with the Chally before... but after seeing what the production model is... I like it alot!

    The 6.1 HEMI badging on the hood... the "DODGE" between the rear lights... it reaks of nostalgia... and I like it. Good job Dodge... now just give us a 525+ HP engine! Waaahooo!!!

    Says it has a "sure grip" differential.

    Yup, loser#3 Momo...

    I concur with Sarge, even though silver is by faaaaarrrrr the slickest and quickest color, the black on that Chally is ferocious and menacing. Bring it Chevy. I would bet this thing runs 12.6's off the truck in some good air.

    I'm pissed. The retro seats are gone. Those would have been EASY to do.

    Also, the functional hood butterflies are gone.

    But my biggest beef: Why does the car have to be so pig heavy? It's actually listed as being HEAVIER than the 300 SRT-8.

    seems the more hp, the more weight they need to throw at it. even the new c7 zo6s dont need to be as heavy as they are.

    I think I saw somewhere they're claiming a 13.4...IDK why they do what they do...must be justified somehow by saving us from ourselves and that whole safety thang.

    No Way! You serious? Other than the looks... then what's the point of a making a muscle pony car if it'll turn similar times to a full sized sedan?!?!

    I agree with JMatt, the concept seats were sweeeeet. But I like these as well...especially the one with the orange stripe in it...nice contrast and different...not sure if these are production seats only available in the Hemi orange or not..

    Don't be fooled Momo...SRT worked on this bad boy for some time. I guarantee it turns better times than 13.4's. I know this. ;)
