Unless something is changed, last I heard the challenger was offered slushbox only, which is a total fail.


Charger has too many doors.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I think that was only for the first year.
My major issue with it, the Charger and really just about any other car these days is that they're all getting too damn heavy. Drop 600 lbs off any of them and then it's be game on.

Airbags
mandatory power steering
mandatory climate control
sat/nav
power windows/locks
keyless remote
6-way power heated seats

Car makers will never again return to a true stripped down version for competition...

Last ones (I believe)
1LE Camaro
Mustang Cobra R

and even those had some of the comforts listed above...

It's a sad thing, I need no comforts.
I might have to go stripping out unnecessary items out of cars I buy again. Hard to bring myself to do it with a new car though.  :P
At least my Mazda 3 has manual windows, manual seats, no sat or nav or many of the other common bells and whistles.
Been many a time I've looked at that back seat and thought about stripping it, the carpet and sound deadening out. Not worth it now, probably getting rid out it by the end of the summer.

lower fascia/foglights are diff..


Actually the whole front clip is different.

Look at the new model and you'll see the fenders and hood extend another four inches.

Dodge has stood by the Ram front end on all models as it's signature for quite some time now.

Looks like the truck and weighs a similar amount too.  [laugh]

Google 2010 Mustang Cobra Jet.  :)

I have major wood for one, but they're strip-only and not titleable.  :P

Here's the '08 version:

Sure looks like a "refresh" to me.

And thankfully, to Chrysler, fleet business.

If that car is near you, go tell them the Flag is facing the wrong direction.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

pics are from freep.com and were taken at Chrysler's proving grounds where the new Ford Taurus and Chevy Caprice Police Pursuit Vehicles were also being tested.

One of the local PD's has been running two of them in all black. They look badass.  [thumbsup]
