I don't know where this new SRT8 charger is going to be place ,but if it around a new SRT8 challenger then it's less than GT500 money. I just looked at a new GT500 and it stickers at over $56,000. You can get an SRT8 Challenger for much much cheaper than that.

Yeah this base price is 47,000 so not much behind a GT500. Like I said nice car too much for being a four door challenger. And also why do Dodge think or believe they have to charge this much for a car with a big V-8 in it when similar company charge thousands less for similar numbers. I mean come on 47000 for 470 hp and some suspension upgrades is crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Can you read? I said let's wait until we get numbers from real production cars..do you have a production 2012 charger srt8? Reading is fundamental.

The Charger 392 SRT8 will slightly outrun the 5.0 and the LS3 SS, just like the Challenger 392...... trap speeds do not lie. Sure, there will be some denial... that is always the first step .

I did, but you included example of "press cars" that have turned out to actually be the same, if not slower than real world, full production cars.

From what I've see outside shop cars and press cars all of the new muscle cars are on par. Makes no difference to me... I run 16's.

Did I say the new SRT8 Charger is the greatest thing since sliced bread? No. What I did say is that I suspect real world times will often match the magazine times or exceed them. I brought up the 5.0 and the 392 Challenger as examples. You're the one who started making accusations of "press cars". |
