@ud0ntkn0w Bullshit, the ZL-1 has 580 Horsepower out of a supercharger yes, but it weighs A WHOLE AIRCRAFT CARRIER less than the Charger. A Supercharger wouldn't do anything execpt make the gap between the ZL-1 and the SRT8 a little smaller.
@1970CamaroZ If you managed to put a supercharged SRT8 into a Camaro's body it would be faster than with the Zl1 engine, so weight is all it has above a charger (and it's a 4-door so obviously it should weigh more)
@jhop5150 I saw a rendering concept of how a Charger would look like in a coupe version similar to the styling cues of how Honda transmits their 4-doors into coupes. Trust me, from what i saw it didn't look that good. They would need to design a whole other body style to make it a coupe.
@6u66a because unless you are in Europe wtf o's the point of a manual. Too much stop an go traffic in the U.S., people kill me with this manual transmission shit. Quit watching fast and furious and accept that technology has caught up. You ain't a damn race car driver.
SRT may use premium but if you get a cold air intake the 24 mpg highway turns into 31+ 20 cents more for gas for 37% higher mpg than the previous model. Pretty sure the SRT8 is worth it.
@datfatjunt the 392 is under-rated, when dodge decides to drop the weight on this car and the 392 challenger, some 500-800 pounds ohhh man, very bad day for the other muscle cars, they are just letting ford and gm have a shot first, 5.0 is a beast so is the ss camaro, but a 6.1 weight reduced stock srt8 kicks their ass all over the place but dont believe me look it up, now imagine what the 6.4 would do if it was lighter.
Am I the only one that thinks the steering wheel looks like the inner circle from the mustang and the outer ring of the camaro steering wheel put together?
I dunno guys, I am really feeling this Charger. Not all colors though. Because of the front look, dark colors will work with this new look in my opinion.
@MrMaggotforlife13 umm you may want to look up prices 5.0 starts at around 30k and runs in the 12s in the1/4mile. The srt-8 will easily be over 40k.Cost is important because it means you could purchase the boss 302 and smoke anything mopar has in this price range and forget about a road course.Or just take the extra 10k(approx) and put it into the gt. This is coming from a big mopar fan obviously i have challenger in my name but i'm a realist as well.
I understand what you mean. And what's with the guy saying "well under $50,000?" I highly doubt that Dodge is going to sell the SRT8 for under 50 grand when the 2011 Challenger SRT8 is at $48,000 sticker here in Cali.
@EscoNetwork hmm I thought they were closer to 45k without all the options but i'm sure many of them have the options packed on. That may have been on dodge website though i don't think I've looked at any lately in person. I wish they could make all of them weigh less. If they could take off 300lbs they would be more competitive. They need to up date the 5.7L to make more power to keep up with lower models too.
@FreakyKing2 one the mustang sucks and it has just as much hp as the mustang if not more depending on the mustang and since the charger is a 4 door so it is tecnecialy faster since it ran the 3/4 just as fast
Two door version, put the grill back to the 09' if your going to extend the rear lights all the way across the back at least make it look good. Hopefully they got rid of most the cheap plastic inserts that i found in my 09' and actually put some chrome or fixed them in place.. Hopefully by the time i need a new car they have a two door version back, and again.. hopefully they make this one feel like the real muscle car its predecessors were.
@landeros2012 Lamborghini aventador 6.5 700hp ferrari fxx 6262 800hp...italian car is beautful..and american car is beatiful..I dont speak english very well.
there is a problem with forgin made cars. alot are under powered and way over priced. Why settle for a v-6 BMW that has shit horsepower and pay almost 60 grand for just looks when you can get an american car with a nice v-8 with amazing horsepower for maybe 36 and at the highest 50. people just want the fancy looking frign cars to make them look better thats all, and if they new shit about that they were driving then they might well to some people it doesnt matter i guess. but anyways sweet car!
I have a 2009 Charger and just looked at the new 2011s at the dealer. When I first seen the new Chargers I honestly mistook them for a new Mustang. The back tail lights that extend across the back of the trunk suck in my opinion. But I must say, I test drove the RT and I loved the feel.
I'm still deciding between this one and the SRT8 300.
Oh and p.s. I don't know how YouTubers always turn any video comments into an argument... How do you guys do that? And then things get racist...Sick!
@EscoNetwork yes!!!! i agree!! youtube is notorious for having IGNORANCE, ppl turn everything in to a dumb argument, disrespect, racist, bashing. Why not respect??? to each their own l dude said. If you don't like it then fine, don't buy it, if you do then cool. Don't was your time to post a hateful or racist comment, I've been look a lot in to the new mustangs gt' s and 302 maybe even shelby. BUt this vehicle there's nothing to hate, this would be better cuz is a four door, better as family car
@EscoNetwork If you look at a 69-70 charger the tail lights may make more sense to you. I'm not sure how this could be confused with a mustang unless there was no light. I'm sure we all wish we had the dilemma of which srt-8 to get. Good luck i'm sure either will be a blast.
@EscoNetwork The grill and air intake--basically the whole front--kinda looks like, sad to say, the Mitsubishi Lancer. SRT8 just injected steroids on it, haha! Nonetheless, it's a good American muscle car.

Hope NOT to see this guy on the air again - he pissed me off - little fag. Get a real american muscle car guy in there to speak dodge and not compare it to a euro. Its a FUCKIN DODGE YOU IDIOT!!! FUCK OFF LITTLE PRICK!!!
What an uneducated announcer. Why in the hell out of all people in the world is he the one to introduce a well developed machine? Please fire this man for just being a dumb ass.
@kalargyi Actually it's a 30k gap (did not say to buy it ) , an I'm guessing your young so I'll give you a pass this time . except for health I'm not rich , I just pointed out a more superior american car that out performs the Benz an BMW in the same class.
@EveningGoDs You are making the Chinese Laugh at us, 48k-69k = 30k?
and by the way, Cadi Never HAD overtaken, or outperformed the German, pls do not make the Germans laugh too, but its nice to know that we can beat them in words.
FYI: I am a 36-year-old US Navy Officer in Kuwait.
@kalargyi O.kkkkkk first off I did not know the difference in price was that big but what I do know is the CTS-V does out perform the other two in it's class just as the( ZR1 does! ) for an American* car , though I don't know where the Chinese comment fits in the conversation? Check your sources . FYI: I DON'T CARE. The U.S. finally makes a great car an your mouthing off WTF . If you think Germany or China is better move your ass over there or continue to babysit oil wells.
I dont like how they put a similar taillight on the charger as the challenger they shouldve made it unique in a different way. (Thanks for thinking outside the box Dodge -.-)....Challenger shits on it
The back seems to be similar to the Challenger only it doesn't look "muscly". The front end is perfect. It's just the rear that kills the "muscle" look for me. imo
@julianperez2008coxam supercharge this and it will smoke your camaro...fact; ford and chevy need superchargers to get those kinds of hp. and unthinkable number of cams. supercharge the 392 srt8 and you dont have a chance at all.
@MrCockmaster8A Oh so your going back to 4th grade on me with the language? Good one..
Exactly, it is a lot more horsepower and a lot higher pricetag. whats the GT500 running nowadays 55k plus. For that you can go get your top of the line Charger and S/C it.. But to each his own, if theres a market for it, people are going to buy it..And while your sitting here bitching about the "supercharge this" and playing the IF card, people will be out driving them regardless.Grow up
Almost forgot, your "supercharge this and it will smoke your camaro...fact" isn't a fact dumbass, unless you have a 2012 S/C Charger and have raced a Camaro...Until then
@Masch3rano even with the charger supercharged it cant keep up with the zl1 dodge dont know how to make cars all of them are to heavy and not aerodynamic thats why they put 6.4 this year to try and keep up with ford and chevy
@julianperez2008coxam They have plans for the weight reduction for the 2012 muscle car line up, and they may not seem aerodynamic but they are quite aerodynamic, they also focused more on stability to make all the power count and give it more down-force, also what chevy and ford do with superchargers, dodge does with displacement it also reduces gas waste, and more durability, bc superchargers reduce engine and tranny life very significantly.
@julianperez2008coxam also mathematically speaking if a supercharger was added to the 6.4 it would put out numbers over 600 hp, overpowering the 550 zl1, and that is setting psi at controlled safe levels, if you were to go 15+ psi that would put the 6.4 above the 700 hp mark, and of course destroy the camaro easily, but thats just mathematical approximations, but for true result we are going to have and wait and see if someone superchargers the 6.4 and races a zl1, until then we'll see whats up
they definitely stole some styling cues from the lancer, and why dont they get rid of the 4 doors?! they are hideous just make a 2 door and the car wouldnt look like ass
My God you Americans...as a European all I have to say if petrol was $4 a gallon here I would have this car in a heartbeat. Your all wayyy to spoiled with your cheap gas prices. try $9 a gallon like we do in Europe. Instead of whining we just buy cars that get 45 mpg.
Yee.... i don't know, with a gas price almost 4$ and it is not even summer yet (expected to be 5$+ HOPE NOT) This car will be kind of too expensive and not smart to have right now, but again if you have cash to buy this car you probably have cash to gas this beast up.
Not gonna lie, this car really needs to be offered in a 6 speed manual, but the paddle shifters are atleast better than that stupid autostick shit. Autostick was amazing in the 90s, but its wayyyy out of style in 2011...
@zerooneonefive i think dodge is making this like an average mans m5 and leaving the challenger with a manual as the true muscle car. and your right about the autostick
@gilljames10 I will say that I do like the new challenger a lot too. I'm just happy to finally see atleast a better offering then the highly out-styled autostick, and the interior of the new dodges are a HUUUUGE improvement over the old ones
Dodge is copying the Evolution X now.

@EveningGoDs but we all saw the 20k price tag gap u rich creep.
kalargyi 10 months ago
@kalargyi Actually it's a 30k gap (did not say to buy it ) , an I'm guessing your young so I'll give you a pass this time . except for health I'm not rich , I just pointed out a more superior american car that out performs the Benz an BMW in the same class.

@EveningGoDs You are making the Chinese Laugh at us, 48k-69k = 30k?
and by the way, Cadi Never HAD overtaken, or outperformed the German, pls do not make the Germans laugh too, but its nice to know that we can beat them in words.
FYI: I am a 36-year-old US Navy Officer in Kuwait.

@kalargyi O.kkkkkk first off I did not know the difference in price was that big but what I do know is the CTS-V does out perform the other two in it's class just as the( ZR1 does! ) for an American* car , though I don't know where the Chinese comment fits in the conversation? Check your sources . FYI: I DON'T CARE. The U.S. finally makes a great car an your mouthing off WTF . If you think Germany or China is better move your ass over there or continue to babysit oil wells.

I dont like how they put a similar taillight on the charger as the challenger they shouldve made it unique in a different way. (Thanks for thinking outside the box Dodge -.-)....Challenger shits on it

The back seems to be similar to the Challenger only it doesn't look "muscly". The front end is perfect. It's just the rear that kills the "muscle" look for me. imo

@julianperez2008coxam supercharge this and it will smoke your camaro...fact; ford and chevy need superchargers to get those kinds of hp. and unthinkable number of cams. supercharge the 392 srt8 and you dont have a chance at all.
Masch3rano 11 months ago
@Masch3rano What Ford makes up with a supercharger dodge does with displacement, 6.4L vs 5.4L S/C..
2011 5.0 makes 412 hp, the Charger 465hp with a 6.4.
The Charger is in its own category, its a 4 door..It wont take on either the mustang or Camaro, leave that part up to the Challenger.
GOMEZ99Christian 11 months ago
@GOMEZ99Christian the dodge makes 465 hp and the ford 5.4 s/c make 550 hp thats thats a lot more power idiot
MrCockmaster8A 11 months ago
@MrCockmaster8A Oh so your going back to 4th grade on me with the language? Good one..
Exactly, it is a lot more horsepower and a lot higher pricetag. whats the GT500 running nowadays 55k plus. For that you can go get your top of the line Charger and S/C it.. But to each his own, if theres a market for it, people are going to buy it..And while your sitting here bitching about the "supercharge this" and playing the IF card, people will be out driving them regardless.Grow up

Almost forgot, your "supercharge this and it will smoke your camaro...fact" isn't a fact dumbass, unless you have a 2012 S/C Charger and have raced a Camaro...Until then

GOMEZ99Christian 11 months ago
@Masch3rano even with the charger supercharged it cant keep up with the zl1 dodge dont know how to make cars all of them are to heavy and not aerodynamic thats why they put 6.4 this year to try and keep up with ford and chevy
julianperez2008coxam 11 months ago
@julianperez2008coxam They have plans for the weight reduction for the 2012 muscle car line up, and they may not seem aerodynamic but they are quite aerodynamic, they also focused more on stability to make all the power count and give it more down-force, also what chevy and ford do with superchargers, dodge does with displacement it also reduces gas waste, and more durability, bc superchargers reduce engine and tranny life very significantly.
Masch3rano 11 months ago
@julianperez2008coxam also mathematically speaking if a supercharger was added to the 6.4 it would put out numbers over 600 hp, overpowering the 550 zl1, and that is setting psi at controlled safe levels, if you were to go 15+ psi that would put the 6.4 above the 700 hp mark, and of course destroy the camaro easily, but thats just mathematical approximations, but for true result we are going to have and wait and see if someone superchargers the 6.4 and races a zl1, until then we'll see whats up

My God you Americans...as a European all I have to say if petrol was $4 a gallon here I would have this car in a heartbeat. Your all wayyy to spoiled with your cheap gas prices. try $9 a gallon like we do in Europe. Instead of whining we just buy cars that get 45 mpg.
pimpninja1985 1 year ago
Yee.... i don't know, with a gas price almost 4$ and it is not even summer yet (expected to be 5$+ HOPE NOT) This car will be kind of too expensive and not smart to have right now, but again if you have cash to buy this car you probably have cash to gas this beast up.
Emil1787 1 year ago
Not gonna lie, this car really needs to be offered in a 6 speed manual, but the paddle shifters are atleast better than that stupid autostick shit. Autostick was amazing in the 90s, but its wayyyy out of style in 2011...
zerooneonefive 1 year ago
@zerooneonefive i think dodge is making this like an average mans m5 and leaving the challenger with a manual as the true muscle car. and your right about the autostick
gilljames10 1 year ago
@gilljames10 I will say that I do like the new challenger a lot too. I'm just happy to finally see atleast a better offering then the highly out-styled autostick, and the interior of the new dodges are a HUUUUGE improvement over the old ones
