Is a base 6-speed challenger r/t a good car? Does it handle well? Good suspension?Or is it just a landbarge with a big engine?These are cheaper than their mustang gt counterparts on the used market. Seems like good value.
>>29149474no
>>29149474yes
They’re what used to be the old school cars used to be, only they lack the style and soul of the old school cars.They handle like boats. They drive like boats. And their only redeeming feature was the buckets of torque the V8 made. If you retire just punishing yourself.It’s a GT cruiser meant to eat up highway miles in comfort. With enough torque to haul you on to a free way on ramp at lively speeds.Any sporting intention even with a wide body and a base 5.7 is a joke. If you want to consider a first generation SRT with the 6.4L that’s better, since they benchmarked the M5. Now get that in a Magnum or 300C and you’re doing even better.
>>29149489youll summon the white chally faggot with his rental spec v6 claiming the car handles like a miata
>>29149474>good carNo? It is a dodge product and will come with everything you expect from the north american stellantis auto group subsidiary. It has a v8 with some horses. Probably literally everything else about the car will be substandard, unreliable or otherwise frustrating in some capacity. The limited contact I have had with a dodge charger told me I should never ever buy a dodge product even when the numbers and styling look good on paper. Unfortunate but it is what it is.
>>29149526>double wishbones on all 4 corners>52/48 weight distributionIt literally is like a big Miata thoughbeit
>>29149579Isn’t this a 30 year old product at this point? Surely the kinks are worked out ?
>>29149526>the car handles like a miatait actually does thoughbeiteverything i say about challys is 10000% true and only nocar busriders disagree with me
>>29149474Go for a test drive. Some things have to be experienced. The best on paper isn't always the best in real life. Half the kids on here are bus riders.
>>29149526That would be a really long rental
ZF8 >>>>>>>> 6MT
>>29149489yeah that 12% increase in displacement makes it better instead of a joke.ultimately it's a 4000lb car with a hp figure starting with the number 4.
3.6L > 6.4L > 5.7L
>>29149582That’s what you would think but believe it or not, after 30 years, dodge still sucks.
>>29149595>Its just the 12% displacement that makes it better!Not the aggressive cam, the longer stroke, the dual runner intake, the aggressively tuned exhaust. Not the suspension and brakes upgrade that takes it from “as sloppy as your mom on 2 for 1 beer night” to “as tight as her fat ass before I fucked it”. It’s not the upgraded interior, with the upgraded display, and gauge packs and interior options. Its not the aluminum roof on the 300C…the entire package is completely worthless…>>29149581>>29149583No. Shut up. It does not handle at all in stock R/T trim. Because it’s a 4,000lb boat trying the maintain grip.
>>29149678the longer stroke is how they made it 12% more displacement dipshit.>interior>display>gauges>aluminum roof panelFUCKING CRINGE
>>29149489not many near me. 2015 with 50k miles for $43k

>>29149678>R/T trimThere's your problem, the V8 makes it a nose-heavy pigThe PentaKINO GODstar 3.SEX is much lighter and gives it a Miata-like 52:48 weight distribution
>>29149700>2000-5000RPM torque curve of less than 300ft-lbs. no wonder you think it handles like a Miata you have to take every turn under 50mph and it takes minutes to run it back up to speed again.Meanwhile the hemi makes more torque at idle.
>>29149579t. wrenchlet
>>29149474It's a Jeetbarge. Are you a Jeet?
>>29149732the only minorities i see driving challengers are blacks
>>29149474Corvettes cost the same and are 10x faster/cooler and won't make you look like you spend food stamps on monster energy drinks
>>29149735You're lucky. Here it's the most Jeetcoded car. It's always a V6 or a try hard 5.7 that's riced/nigged out with the punjabi or whatever dangling things. They really love Jeep Wranglers too for some reason. They put 15'' wide rims and low profile tires on them and run a bare rim where the spare should be.
if they had sold the rentastar with a tremec it would have actually been a great cheap enthusiast car but sadly not
