Why can't I have one of these ?

Tote · 27-02-2007, 05:03 PM

Chrysler seem to be selling as many 300Cs as they can import, imagine what one of these would do to the local performance market.
Power: 425 horsepower at 6,200 rpm
Torque: 420 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm
Fuel economy: 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway‡

Mmmmm looks nice what is it.

The Monty · 27-02-2007, 05:43 PM

New charger?

**Polyal** · 27-02-2007, 05:43 PM

Yeah thats hot.

I love Chrysler's Retro work, its very 70's but they dont rely on making a carbon copy.

I am a big fan of the black outs and sticker packages.

FPV8U · 27-02-2007, 05:52 PM

They are only Auto arn't they?

If you could get one with a Six Speed Manual in Aus i'd be interisted.

Am I the only one that thinks it's ugly?

**Falcon Coupe** · 27-02-2007, 07:03 PM

Tough and retro, i would take it over the 300c.

That said, i much prefer these:

Oops, sorry for the pic size.

TheSneakiness · 27-02-2007, 07:05 PM

I'd buy one in a heartbeat...

majin_andrew · 27-02-2007, 07:07 PM

Apparently the new chargers have been criticised for being a sedan, but I reckon it is nice.

I don't like that idea too. It seems to be trying to cash in on the success of the Charger name. It is a good looking sedan, but in my opinion it is no Charger. I'd still love one though, but not with those stripes

But the Dodge Challenger on the other hand...I'll take two thanks

Rev28K · 27-02-2007, 07:28 PM

Thumbs up for the Challenger (but I'd rather have a modern Cuda), Thumbs down for the Charger.

Europe only get the 300C's not the Charger. The Charger was spun off the 300C so maybe it was too late in the model cycle to get RHD versions out of it (or not worth the $$$). Didn't Fiddy Cent get the first production Charger?

nitroman · 27-02-2007, 07:43 PM

The charger at the top looks like it has "super bee" stickers. True to form the original super bee was fairly gaudy (in a tough way) but went like stink. The challenger was (and still is) the good looker. Bring them here chrysler, and I'll be able to afford a second hand one in ten years!

You've just gotta love hemi's....

mattp · 27-02-2007, 10:47 PM

On the topic of retro's, I think the pick of the bunch has to be the new Camaro... I'd take it over the Challenger. Those headlights look awesome when they're on.

DirtyHarry · 27-02-2007, 10:59 PM

The Camaro is gorgeous.

Somehow it just won't be the same badged as a Holden Monaro. Lookout for a major eBay industry selling Chevy badges when it's released here.

mattp · 27-02-2007, 11:02 PM

Looks like it'll be an easy conversion for GMH dash wise anyway

DirtyHarry · 28-02-2007, 12:32 AM

American police can buy the Chargers for US$21,000 apiece:

Jayden · 28-02-2007, 01:20 AM

Not to worry, the Camaro will not be badged as a Monaro here.

It looks nothing like a Monaro, and it will devalue the name.

LOL...ive only just noticed the similarity between the Monaro and Camaro name..weird.

most of them are auto's, afaik all the SR/T's are auto's, but there are rumours of a manual being considered

theres one company doing a T56 conversion kit for the chargers

merlin · 28-02-2007, 09:37 AM

I love all 3 - Challenger, Charger and Camaro.

Camaro is confirmed for sale in Aus from 2009 onwards badged as a Chevy. I'd buy one in a heartbeat (I'd buy any of those cars).

slayer351 · 28-02-2007, 09:41 AM

Yep I like it too. I would buy one in a flash if i wash all cashed up and they were available.

A 4 Door Charger - What a way to ruin a LEGEND !!!!!!!!!!

They got it 50% right.............lol Its got a HEMI

Kobayashi · 01-03-2007, 12:53 AM

at least the americans know how to make their cars SOUND.

I didnt think much of the chargers when i was at the auction in december, but DAMN, once you fire up the 6.1 and take it for a spin, it changes everything.

Looks much better in black too ;)
