In terms of performance yes
Charger however is a big cushier and smoother

I personally would take a Challenger over a Charger... Nothing really against Chargers, my girlfriend loves them and I see it's merits too, but something about the Challenger just aesthetically looks ballsier and more manly. The Charger sortof reminds me of a pig with it's snout-like grille... It could just be me though.

I aguee the needf to make the charger look more like the old one from the 60s.

Yes. I was'nt even thinking that, but now that you mention it, yes. Except, I think it should be even ballsier than that. How? I'm not sure, but the 60's Charger look is on so many cars in the 60s that it's a good look, but just would be very recycled to use it now. Give it a more manly twist and you'll have a bunch of lovers of the look just like you did in the 60s. History does repeat itself smile

The problem with that, is that it's not the 60's, you're 50 years too late if you want a car with a 60's look.

That'd be the worst marketing decision possible to model a car in such a dated fashion
taking certain design cues okay, but to make a car that looks identical to the one from the 60's? they already did that, 50 years ago

It's just not possible for them to use the same designs they did in the past, they were heavy and inefficient, it'd definitely fail in the modern world. people just don't want big steel rust bucket draining their wallet. It's like making a new car that's carbed

... We want the look. The aesthetics. Not the car. I think even the modern Challenger takes HUGE styling cues from the 60's Charger, and I think the majority is that everyone thinks even the modern Challenger is a mean looking machine.

We never said we want the car. We never said we wanted the weight. We never said we wanted the carb. We said we wanted the looks.

Thank god for that

The new challenger looks 80% like the old one from the 70s.

lol i worded that wrong
i meant the only car worth driving in dodge

This would like to have a word or two with you:

i forgot about the viper emotion_dowant

Then you clearly havent driven the Charger SRT8
Its practically the exact same, only difference, the charger shifts smoother

4200 lb with 6.1L HEMI V8 = 3400 lb with 8.4L V10

... Seems like good math.

Not really.

Edit: Oh did you mean the same as a Viper or same as a Challenger... Not sure xD

That's like saying the first car you think of when someone says "Ford" to you is the E-150... And then the Taurus... And then the F-650... And then the Focus... And then the Windstar... And OH YEAH! The Mustang! xd
