2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 - Drive Time Review

[laukc7085]

for all you 5.0 mustang owners talking shit, i have 2 things to say to you, 1. the charger is a full size sedan not a little sports coupe. 2. go watch a fucking mustang video

[mikhailSRT4]

i wanna see a honda owner say something about this car. cus they cant they know there poor and cant afford this car. lol

[plopez93]

@mikhailSRT4 shut your candy ass mouth. hondas are some of the most reliable cars ever made, and plenty of them cost much more than this charger, and can EASILY outrun it...

[chad851000]

I'll take a 5.0 and save a couple grand.

[comlax22]

"...this 'Redneck Rocket'..." That made me sign in and instantly subscribe, LOL. Well done as usual Mr. Hammes.

[ksistealthfire]

my 5.0 would shut that down.

[BlackandYellow87]

@ksistealthfire yeah, after i get this car give me ur address and lets race and lets see who wins! ಠ_ಠ

[iRLadyKi113r]

@BlackandYellow87 i got my money on the mustang...sorry.

[BlackandYellow87]

@iRLadyKi113r no one was talking to you.....

[chrisjana75]

If you don't make enough money and can not pursue an education, join a union to make enough money to buy a house and a car like this with money to spare

[alessandrozerbone]

Dodge really needs to put manuals in other cars than the challenger, there are many people out there who will not buy a charger or a 300 because they only offer it in automatic.

[ronaldt52]

Fast Five!!!! Def getting this once I graduate

[hamdanae12]

could some1 explain to me why this car is not supercharged like the jeep srt8 and challenger srt8, but still its called charger "SRT8" and has only 392 hp and not 470+ like the other SRT8s...

[chrisjana75]

@hamdanae12 its 392 cubic inches and 470 hp..... none of the srt8 models are supercharged because they all use the same engine with no supercharger

[hamdanae12]

@chrisjana75 oh thanks for clearing that, wow 470 hp from a normal engine, what if some one supercharged, i wonder how much it will increase.

[johnnieace45]

Nice car but $46 grand? Got chance for a Zimbabwe 10 Trillion Dollar Bill?

[MrJas2241]

I'll get excited when it looks like the 1999 Charger concept car we were promised but never got because of the fuck ups by Mercedes Benz. They could have easily built it on the Intrepid platform but MB didn't care about selling cars, just destroying the company.

[Buttnut105]

I'll have one in black please.

[ExUSSailor]

If they took the money they spent on stupid stuff, like heated/cooled cup holders, and all that stupid technology, and spent it on developing the chassis, steering, and suspension, they could've had an

M3/M5 beater.

[svt89]

@ExUSSailor Thats why we have the cts-v for that but your comparing a 60-100k cars to a 45k car.

[ExUSSailor]

Would you please, PLEASE off a manual gearbox option!

[Ultimatemxcn]

I have to say I like the old charger lines better. This one's lines look compromised to give it additional visibility and a mismatched splash of scalloped doors and hood accents. Though this one's face is more attractive.

[ExUSSailor]

@Ultimatemxcn They did it to make it look more like the car it's named after.

[ahmedmomful]

is it economical? because i have had charger sxt 2009 3.5L and it was not so economical but every thing else was good the air conditioning was awesome and it was so comfort and so stable in high speed

[ahmedmomful]

oh god.what a beautiful american car

[alexfp07]

Nice car.

[latinluigi]

I still like how the 2006-2010 Charger SRT8 looks more that hood scoop was one of a kind!

[SoundGuyDavo]

@stevehammes Please tell me no one involved with the dreaded 2.7L V6 engine department is involved with the Hemi or SRT department.  Sincerely, an unfortunate 2.7L V6 owner.

[MSFHFEV]

Am i the only one who loves everything about this car except the giant chunk they took out on each side of it? It looks like someone took a butter knife, went down both sides, and now it just looks awkward.

[MuscleCar4life]

"its faster then fast, its like F u Fast"-Rutledge wood .that explains this charger also cant wait some day to own one. Good Job Chryrsler for making something with everything and ignore the 4 door haters.. I tottaly understand why they needed it as a four door because like most 2 doors they never last with exceptions of the Corvette and Mustang and did i forget any other hmm anyways thats why the 4 door was needed its the car for everyone I think even Batman might have one even :P

[SublimeOrange]

Btw, great car! But still, i find a bit strange those computer menu icons, couse they look like they have been moved directly from Need for Speed...

[SublimeOrange]

Apple pie is not american! :D

[ChevyBoyDavis]

This is why I'm going to college so i can have this :)

[Hendrixidol]

@ChevyBoyDavis Or u could be their technician. ;)

[freakybaby1012]

@ChevyBoyDavis Thats so true

[marvininniss]

@ChevyBoyDavis You have to go to college to acquire one of these my friend.

[chrisjana75]

@marvininniss I never went to college ( and I dropped out in 11th grade) and I make more money than the average person with a masters degree...At least according to the U.S. Census Bureau 78k oh yeah

[srb584]

@ChevyBoyDavis hope you don't end up paying for it in debt

[richboy96ful]

the damn things queit.

[nismofury]

Redneck rocket! Nice car but overpriced. Dodge depreciates so much. This would be a great buy at $30k. But at $55k+??? There are better choices.

[CALLWILLIE100]

@nismofury wow ralph gilles is the first black Redneck nismofury you are a ass

[Amel22]

@nismofury 30k? lol buddy i think you should do some research and find out what you get for 30k these days 6.7 470hp for 30k? okay buddy.

[abdul455655]

it would be great if it has manual transmission

[44excalibur]

@abdul455655 Chrysler is developing a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission as an option for the SRT Viper, which will undoubtedly end up in the Charger and 300 as well. The Viper and Challenger are the only Mopar performance cars that will have manual transmissions.

[CAJFB]

Good review!!!!!and I want the superbee edition!!!!

[xXsamleyvaXx]

It's beautiful :')

[BetterDayz19]

some day.....

[Buttnut105]

I never thought I'd want this, a big, heavy, American muscle car, so much. The 2011 Mustang Boss Laguna Seca has caught my eye too.

[ride2die812]

four doors for more whores

[SwPiotrek]

I love it. Great car.

[saljon8589]

if im mental, than why are you wasting your time arguing with me

[benmen7551]

2012 Charger or 2012 Camaro???

[zacheryds]

@benmen7551 charger

[GranTorino992]

@benmen7551 camaro all the way, or the mustang

[hispanic88]

I gotta say I would sell my G8 GT for the new SRT! 

[TheHishamable]

fu*@ m5

[coolestrami]

can i make online donatoin in order to buy this car !!!

[RyderMedia93]

those srt wheels add 50 horses a piece

[GranTorino992]

@RyderMedia93 how can wheels add hp?

[TheHyperkid97]

@MicahRook, Well it was assembled in Canada. (awesome). Close enough.

[MicahRook]

I'm all for American muscle like the Corvette and future Viper, but this car isn't American in the way they are meaning.  It's built on a German chassis, assembled in Canada, with an engine from Mexico.

[saljon8589]

@MicahRook almost every car these days aren't made where they need to be so whats your point.

[MicahRook]

@saljon8589 Umm my point is in what I said - you even put your own spin on it, soooooooooooo. And what do you mean by "made where it needs to be" ?

[saljon8589]

@MicahRook you said american are not made in america, well, thats what i meant, is any car made where they should be. the charger may be riding on a benz chassis but the design and the engine is american. by the way, canada and mexico are a part of north america soooooo

[MicahRook]

@saljon8589 You're either very stupid or you don't speak English very well, so i won't bother explaining anything more to you. Have a good one.

[saljon8589]

@MicahRook oh somebody is stupid alright, and that person is you. learn your contenents or you'll keep making yourself look like an ass.

[MicahRook]

@saljon8589 lol, read my first comment and maybe even you can figure out the difference between a phrase like "American" and the continent "America." I feel like this is useless because your mental capacity just isn't there, but maybe, just maybe you can squeeze some thought into your inbred, meth degraded brain. 

[EmperorArek]

check my video about this car

[OverTheTop94]

I love this, but the back is really ugly

[TroutButter]

@OverTheTop94 You're crazy. The rear is one of the best looking parts. It's like the 69 and way better than the previous years of the new charger.

[OverTheTop94]

@TroutButter That light... just no man

[Thtblkbrit]

Coming from a heavy Euro-fanboy, I am like in love with this car. The older one, I didn't care for at all, but this one, is just BEAST! Even comes with paddle shifters! (Kinda useless on a 5-speed IMO), GOOD JOB DODGE!

[drb622bucs]

I am all about the big 3, but the front end is lookin alot like a mitsubishi evo 10

[xJaliscoKid]

6.4 <3



[RiXx95]

-.- Automatic Transmission on a Charger? WTF?



[7modyxHx]

Like Monster 

[2011hemiblue]

they should make a 2 door charger srt8

[twiztidsidfreak13]

@2011hemiblue I 2nd that motion yo!

[SharQus]

@2011hemiblue Well, you have the Challenger for that :)

[MrMexgt2007]

@2011hemiblue errrmmm .... there's a car called Challenger bro.

[GranTorino992]

@2011hemiblue just buy a challenger lol

[CAJFB]

@2011hemiblue didn't they make the challenger for that??

[jetsf001]

@2011hemiblue its called a challenger lol

[Ian400ex1]

@2011hemiblue all these comments claiming the "2 door charger" would be a "challenger" make me laugh.. and kinda mad... they look so different it's almost hard to grasp how another human could think such.... SHIT... I agree with you.. but if you have a family, you can keep this!

[asghernaqvi]

@2011hemiblue the dodge challenger is pretty much like a 2 door version of a dodge srt 8

[weedmaniceburg]

@2011hemiblue it should have been a 2-door from the get go

[weedmaniceburg]

@2011hemiblue and it should have been the 426 c.i. not the 392 c.i.

[18TLong]

@weedmaniceburg you must bought one of the srt8 chargers

[weedmaniceburg]

@18TLong na i'm just an auto tech....we had a guy at my tech school that had a dodge magnum with the 426 hemi with light mods makin 473 RWHP on the chasis dyno...and if you're gonna spend that much on a muscle car it should have the most power available

[18TLong]

@weedmaniceburg you right about that i guess they trying to keep it good on gas cause its a sedan but the world may never know lol

[adokenk3nnbasil]

monster

[mister62085]

engine is mexican and car is built in canada.

[mgrande11]

@mister62085 Your right there is nothing american about this car except the name,

[smartbarley]

@mgrande11 Actually there's tons of things American about this especially where it's made. I know cause my R/T was made in Kentucky. Just ask a dealer and Chrysler will send you a whole schedule from where parts are from to where it's being made to when it will arrive at the dealership.

[eyenathan]

@mister62085 Canada FTW!

[firehawk400]

@mister62085 Don't forget the German transmissions.

[CALLWILLIE100]

@mister62085 so i guess mercedes and bmw are american car

[al4chez]

its sick, everybody shut up

[timpriddy73]

STILL A FOUR DOOR--------CALL IT A DIPLOMAT, FIFTH AVENUE---YUK

[backspace4093]

Hojoe it's still a piece of shit biatch.

[DualStash]

looks sick :O didnt like the previous moddels but i like this one !

[ISFKing]

I would consider it if it had a stick shift.. or if it had a really quick paddle shift. All paddleshifters i'v seen r slow, not f1 quick

[backspace4093]

Boss 302 is better than this piece of shit.

[mjoe1984]

@backspace4093 no one gives a shit what u think

[azulvenom1]

Nice car but all of u know the economy is fuck!!!

[5632930]

It will be my next car !~~Charger SRT8 ~~~~~~

[amonrei]

I love this car. It's huge. It has 4 doors. Driving it on Malaysian road would be epic. :D

[CaptainJackRyan]

I gotta say....This car is so fucking sick and I love every bit of it...EXCEPT for the fact that SRT continues to not give the option of a 6 speed Manual stick shift.....How can you put so much power in such a bad ass car and not offer a Manual?? I said that with the earlier Charger SRT8 versions, and I am still disappointed and confused why they haven't done it yet

[codyschuyler]

@CaptainJackRyan cuz its a sedan.

[MamboGibson]

You're welcome US :p (I'm from Italy). I love all these new Chryslers... especially the SRT models.

[KnorpelDelux]

Cute how Americans often mention German cars with such awe while we are sitting here dreaming of your American V8-beauties. I'll buy a Charger even if i have to double the price for import...fuck that: I want a Redneck Rocket :D

[nameUnavailab1e]

@KnorpelDelux God bless you. And God bless 'Merica!

[KnorpelDelux]

@nameUnavailab1e You too, greetings from Hamburg/Germany :)

[xxMIK1989xx]

@KnorpelDelux Grass is always greener on the other side :)

[KnorpelDelux]

@xxMIK1989xx Very true :D

[pepebum]

@KnorpelDelux haha so true!

[ISFKing]

@KnorpelDelux lol r u serious? you guys like our american cars and we like your german cars :P

[Buttnut105]

@KnorpelDelux This new Charge SRT's growing on me and I would not hate having one at all. You can't deny though the Germans can build a damn good sport sedan. I think the new CLS63 and M5 prove that.

[KnorpelDelux]

@Buttnut105 That is very true, sir.

[fhqwghads]

@KnorpelDelux Being from the US I'm surprised at your comment. I've always thought German engineering was top notch. Maybe a case of the grass is always greener? I will admit, there is something pretty raw about the Charger though. I owned a Durango, and for an SUV it had a pretty mean look. I might have to take another dive into Dodge and pick one of these up!

[KnorpelDelux]

@fhqwghads German engineering is known to be superb-quality from what I know, yes. But no one over here does something this brutal and special to cars like the USA does. I think many Germans or Europeans in general simply love the expression of the "American dream" and huge SUVs or muscle-cars are probably one of the best things to experience this dream of freedom with. Was that proper English? I don't know. Still a little dizzy from yesterdays beer-killing-fun :)

[fhqwghads]

@KnorpelDelux Your English is really good, and what you said was grammatically more correct than a lot of people who speak English as their first language. It's pretty nice to know that other people around the world like some of the stuff made here. Hope you recover from all that beer!

[xshibby186x]

i love how the comments have nothing to do with the car other than the fact that @7477238 wants @thejacobhuges to get ran over by it.

[xshibby186x]

@xshibby186x Also @thejacobhuges i turn 21 in a week and i aready i own my own skateshop and just ordered this car from detroit. so don't stop trying, you already got the fire. And technically their wrong cause im only 20 and even though im not a pro skater or musician, i own this car and i was the same way when i was your age and heard the same things from the same annoying people.

[curtknows101]

Its Awesome, everything about it, even kinda comparable to the 1968 in the looks dept. kinda, but,,, theyre gna shove four doors down our throats wether we like it or not it seems!!!!

[sounddd]

stickiness of spider man.. lawl

[arson519]

back light look gay but front end looks mean

[alexnelson09]

dang i would love to buy American but this is so tacky, gaudy, cartoonish- couple that with terrible transmission and mpg.... no way.

[Thesqueezebox1]

Got this car to day in cobalt blue

[rbrtchng]

@Thesqueezebox1 congrats! I envy you

[Bergylicious1]

9 miss the like button !!!!!

[spdkillz3]

Next month i'm gonna sell my 2008 gmc yukon and i'll get charger rt 2012

[TheKama991]

I will take this over the c63 amg

[Emil1787]

17 MPG? Bullshit, in reality it is more likely to be 14 MPG as usual. Unless you are a freaking robot who accelerates and decelerates beyond perfect and never drives faster than 50 MPH.

[schallow]

Awesome car for the price!

[coleever]

I would much rather have a BMW 1M for the same price.

[Behemoth413]

@coleever ok

[sensation280]

I don't like....I prefer Dacia :P

[KalEl600rr]

Rather have the GTR

[jet052673]

@thejacobhughes You didn't say anything about him playing as a kid you dumbass. I don't think this video was sent to you so why are you commenting on here you retard. You must have some head trauma from falling off of your skateboard too many times. You'll never make it as a pro...give it up kid.

[thejacobhughes]
