The SRT version of the Charger is OK. The base version looks like a plain Jane sedan. It certainly doesn't look like what I percieve a Charger should look like.
IMHO, this is what a Charger should look like:
The new ones just don't do it for me. It doesn't even look like a muscle car. The SRT version looks like a sedan dressed up for Halloween. At least Dodge got a clue and did it right with the Challenger. I love the way that car looks.
I love the way I show everybody that it's not wrong to have an opinion on the Challenger, and then I just get "WELL THE CHARGER IS UGLY LOL". This place really has some characters.

I really like the looks of the new chargers, I would buy one as a daily driver but to me its more of a sedan than a sports car.....I personally would never daily drive a mustang

Maybe it rides better, but everything else they said was better was pure opinion. And actually, the biggest blast they gave the Shelby was once again, a solid rear.
Germans and Italians ARE NOT BUYING this car...lol...we (90% of mustang owners) don't mind a solid rear.
What 'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis? I was born and raised in an Italian household with English as my 2nd language. I drive a Mustang

I drove my mustang maybe once in the winter, and it was one of the worst vehicles I have ever driven in the winter ever!
They are more of a sports car to me, where as a chrager is a sports sedan, thats just the way I look at it
Any mustang I ever own will just be a "toy" for screwing around with on the weekends etc
I don't think Mustangs are on the "toy" level. There are far too cheap for that. To me a Mustang is a daily driver.
Sorry I can't afford a Z06 right now, besides a 40,000 dollar car (what they cost new up here)is definatly at the "toy" level for alot of people who don't have 100,000 dollars burning a hole in their pocket

Who ever said corvette owners are snobs
The Corvette is a daily driver. Some people driver theirs daily. I don't look at my Vette as being on "toy" status and I damn sure don't think a mass produced, popular muscle car like the Stang is on "toy" status. But I guess it's all up to how people value their possesions...
I'll admit my Z06 is a toy. I wouldn't have it as my only vehicle. It sucks in the rain and the cold and I drive way too many mile back and forth to work to DD the 'Vette. Who wants to roll on 150k in 5 years on a $70,000 car? Not I.

I drive mine all year long out here in Cali. I don't worry about miles either. I like to enjoy the car. The only thing that keeps me in the Stang is the Traffic out here.
Personally the challenger looks a lot better than the gt500 IMO. The gt500 blends in too well when looking at other appearance modded s197. The challenger looks down right badass. Sorry for jumping back on topic. And Rog, my mustang may have been cheap, but it's all my broke collegiate ass could afford. After The turbo is installed, then can it be my "toy"?

Wasn't the affordability one of the main reasons you bought your mustang. Mine was cheap as hell. Not cheaply built but cheap. A toy is not a car that the average person can readily afford.
Frankie - my mom needs to go grocery shopping and her car is in the shop. Can she borrow yours?
Relax, son.
I'm completely calm, but I would appreciate it if you would quit acting like a five year old kid. Bash someone because they have a different taste in cars, nice one. I'm not your son, show some respect if you want any back. And yeah, tell her she left her clothes over here while your at it, they have been laying beside my bed for the past week.
Keep coming at me man, because I'm not about to let you take jabs at me and then say "relax,son" and everything be okay.

Not really. Affordability was one of the reasons I was able to buy it so soon, not the reason I got it. There are a few cars that I would really want to own and a fox has always been on the list, I even got rid of an 02 new edge to get one, sure its no faster than the new edge even modded, but still. I have always considered things like motorcycles and cars that only go out for purely pleasure to be a toy. Things like your vette and all those other expensive supercars are going to be my toys after I'm older and rich.

I know you're not my son. I'd have enough sense to use a rubber - probably 3 of them and a quart of Jack Daniels.
