just for the heck of it......
« on: July 08, 2011, 09:44:52 PM »
i went onto dodge's website. partly due to the mention of the srt8 challenger in the other hotly debated thread. \

 are these people at dodge friggin SERIOUS??? friggin $44k??! for a car that can still easily lose in all catagories to a standard gt mustang, or a standard 2lt camaro, both of which are about $10k less?
 for $44k, i can buy a boss302, that'll keep a srt8 in the weeds, without breaking a sweat....and judging by what shuffler's said about the zl1 camaro, it too should be able to do this.

 me thinks dodge needs to step back, and take a long hard look. those prices now make it blatantly obvious as to why there's lots of fast mustangs and camaros, and not many fast challengers.

I think the only good think Chrysler has going for it right now is pickups, actually scratch that, just the pickups with the Cummins diesel.  Some of the newer Jeeps (less then half) are nice, but also ridiculously priced, and I can't think of any Chrysler car I would like to own. 

The stuff I'd really like to say on this would get "see rule #14" so just use your imagination.   :D

Love the looks of the Challenger but it needs to lose a thousand pounds.

 cool....i think.

 that said........go fast, turn left. if someone gets in your way, don't dare touch em, or you'll get fined. no thanks. if they put it to the way it used to be 30 years ago, when they used to really race, maybe. it seems now, when i turn on a nascar race, it's a 190mph freight train.

Nothing new. Dodge has always been overpriced.

The last reliable Dodge Pickup was made in 1993.     The "Little Wee-Wee Editions" they make today are a joke.    The only reliable thing in a Ram today is the Cummins.    The Unit Bearing Assemblies suck, the Hemi's suck (any ENGINE with a .7 after it is garbage, except the new Cummins) which have paper-thin oil pans and lastly.....Dodge has decided to "replace the rear leaf springs with coil springs to improve ride and handling"....... :rofl :rofl  Gotta love mall crawlers.

 it's kind of a shame really. the challenger truly is the best looking of the retro-hotrods.
