HOT OFF THE PRESSES! Dodge releases photos and details on the new 2012 Dodge Charger SRT-8! http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/chicago-2011-2012-dodge-charger-srt8/
lol, you beat me to it. I really LOVE the 12 in the SRT8 trim. Still not quite there yet with the R/T and below trim though.
Yeah, well that's how I felt about the R/T and below trim the first time around. Wonder if John can get one out to SF.
I've already decided forget the Challenger, I want a new Charger SRT for MY car since Scarlett's become the family car. *gasp* Can't get rid of her, too many happy memories, but DANG I want the new one, in black.
As much as I LOOOOOOVE the current SRT scoop, that power bulge sure is sexy :love: I like it much better than the RT. The hood badges have to go, they look like such an after thought. Just b/c the Chally has them, doesn't mean you have to slap them on every car you make:getlost: Not sure I like the honeycomb within the cross hair grill either. But I'm betting, like the current one, there will be 100+ different grills made for it, so that's a quick fix. Either way, I'd love to have one, but I don't care since I can't afford it anyways :cry:
Yeah this is my new inspiration/motivation to get back to work, as if I didn't already have enough motivation. Not sure about the fuel economy crap but then I'd probably just leave it in sport mode. :viking:

So far all the responses have been HOT/COLD, people either love it or hate it. Which is what I think they were going for. Since I haven't seen/driven one yet, I'll hold off on any negativity, but I'm glad that they came back with a more power and a more aggressive look. As John described it to me, it screams "F*ck you!" Which I like.
I like it but then i dont. it looks like they were trying to copy Mitisu. Steve pretty much hit it on the nail with the Galant pic. i will say i do like the tailend of it and the front but not the side. i'll have to see it in person.
For the record, i am overall a big fan of the new car. I dislike the back, but understand why they did it the way they did.
Not sure I like it... I think in black I would as that grill bar wouldn't be as noticeable as on the red. Overall, too many lines in my opinion.
The rear window/door screw the pooch on that line. It used to tear upwards like the Chally, now it has a window separator and squared off...just looks to abrupt and cluttered. I believe it will look totally different (in a better way) in black, should blend better in that area, as well as the front bumper cover. Overall...i'll say YTBD, gotta wait to see the black.
Okay, for those who DON'T CLICK LINKS and read... Appearance stuff can easily be fixed, I'm more excited about what's under the hood and behind the wheels. Plus I'm told the interior is awesome compared with ours.
Here is a Car & Driver article with some pics of the interior as well: http://www.caranddriver.com/news/ca...8_official_photos_and_info-auto_shows/gallery
Tam we think EXACTLY opposite. I think, who cares on the 392, it needs to be forged anyway, and it's to small. Okay, no big deal, that can be changed and power increased. Curb appeal, interior, and lines is my huckleberry
Yeah okay, the guys who will invariably muck around with the internals, okay that explains all the nancy-pants about the appearance. I'm a driver...the appearance is the last thing I really care about.
