yeah it has GTR influences, but a great looking car nontheless

red6spd 02-09-2011 09:18 AM

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery

whoLEEoh 02-09-2011 09:23 AM

For some reason it looks more like an Evo X front bumper

HKYStormFront 02-09-2011 09:24 AM

wow i'm glad the production GTR doesn't look like that (tho it is close). hate that front clip on the GTR...

anyway, yea the new charger looks pretty good in SRT get-up. plus that powertrain... also glad they are finally putting a good interior in those cars. looks a million times better than when they first debuted

i thought the same thing, just beefier

flashburn 02-09-2011 09:26 AM

Yeah, same here, when I first saw the shot I immediately thought of the Evo.

yeah same here, EVO

I read that its supposed to do 0-60 in under 5, and 1/4 in high 12's?? really??

Red__Zed 02-09-2011 11:22 AM

looks like an EVO, or even a RAM front end. I actually see a lot of RAM in that bumper.

Yep. Shouldn't be much of an issue for this car to dip into the 12s.

Falcor 02-09-2011 11:39 AM

I would want if it wasnt a sedan and if the rear end wasnt so fugly.

The first thing I thought was "a mini RAM?"

doesn't really look anything like a GT-r

ThoriumHotdog 02-09-2011 12:18 PM

Automatic only?

ProfessorDave 02-09-2011 12:26 PM

I like the wheels.

ThoriumHotdog 02-09-2011 12:36 PM

I like the numbers, 465bhp and 465lb ft of torque.

i hope they fixed the shifting left/right on the stick togo up or down gears. That always seemed so stupid to me. why not just make it up/down :shakes head:

Wow. I didn't know they failed like that. That makes zero sense.

A number of cars are like that.

But the new SRT-8s are getting paddle shifters so it doesn't matter.

I see more Chargers around here, than Mustangs! No thanks! I saw 3 different ones in less than a minute last week! "But they are selling real good"!

nuTinmuch 02-09-2011 01:54 PM

This is ugly. It looks like a mutated Evo.

theDreamer 02-09-2011 01:56 PM

So, Mitsubishi is updating the evo....oooooohhhhhhh

Vegitto-kun 02-09-2011 02:09 PM

I still want it.

I heard it's too big for Belgian roads:stirthepot:

Waiz 02-09-2011 02:26 PM

OMG, that is the ugliest front end I have ever seen.

From the pic posted in the OP the front clip looks like it's wider than the rear. The 300C looks alot better, hopefully they don't screw up the SRT version.

If most of the cars jumped off a bridge sideways would the Charger?

m4a1mustang 02-09-2011 02:46 PM

It would charge off the bridge.

those were all cars made by chrysler or mercedes since they had the same parent company, everyone else that i know of uses the forward and backward movement on the shifter instead of sideways

You are correct.

Did the Challenger have something to do with it?

That makes sense. I've never driven any of those cars... :)

I bet the Avenger would have some feelings about how to handle the situation, which might involve a certain Caliber of weapon, and a Journey to Dakota.

m4a1mustang 02-09-2011 03:10 PM

But is the Avenger really up to Caliber for such a daring Journey? Does it have enough Nitro to embark on such a Grand Caravan?

m4a1mustang 02-09-2011 03:11 PM

And while they breed no more, Vipers still roam the desert.

It has the strength of a Ram, and the ferocity of a Viper.

Vegitto-kun 02-09-2011 03:12 PM

I am ******* laughing my *** off.
