Saw new Charger SRT8 on way into work

I give a thumbs up to the SRT folks, they did a good job with the LX Platfrom. The Charger SRT8 really stands our from the non SRT8 models looks very aggressive. I really liked the look of the SRT8 Charger. Question why do they put the SRT badge on front of the Dodge's but not the Chrysler.

In more ways than one, the 300 is more "stealth" than the Charger.

NO SRT badge on the front of the Dodge Magnum SRT8s......Just the Charger. I have not seen a 300C SRT8 on the road around here, I haven't seen another Magnum SRT8 around here, but I have 2 Charger SRT8s around here that I see 'often.' Strange me thinks.

charging

IMO, the Charger is very hot and screams "race me".

That's exactly the reason I didn't buy one. Still a cool looking car, just not for my taste.

I love the fact that the unwashed masses have no idea what I'm driving.

That's funny!

I like the new charger a lot. I've heard people say they don't like 4 doors and the rear end, but I like the whole car. I saw a black one on a car hauler the other day coming into town. It was screaming, take me out and have some fun...I'm bad arse!

the visualization wasn't pleasant! I feel dirty, I think I need to get in my car and drive real fast so the germs don't get me.

I've not seen any SRT8's in the mag, charger or 300 flavor around these parts. Funny since Florida has the second largest chunk of SRT's (according to RS) I'll just have to represent to the "unwashed"!

That's what I'm talking about! This happens all the time, they have no clue.

Wonder what that 1-2 shift sounds like from outside the car?
