If I had the money I might have them make me the 2 Door in Hemi Orange without the redneck accessories.

The Road/Track Performance Group gets you A LOT more than just 10 extra HP. The package gets you Performance seats with perforated Preferred Suede® inserts, Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control, heated front seats, power 8-way driver’s and 8-way front-passenger seats, performance steering, performance suspension, power adjustable pedals, load-leveling and height-control shocks, and P235/55R18 BSW AS performance tires. So you’re not paying for just a bigger sway bar and HP gains. While on the topic of Horse Power; the extra 10HP is gained from a specially tuned intake, the Dodge Charger R/T and the Charger R/T with the Road/Track Performance Group have the same exhaust. It’s only the Charger Daytona R/T that gains a different exhaust from the Charger R/T. This is what gives the Daytona its unique exhaust note.
You also mentioned the differences in horse power between the Ram (345HP), Jeep Grand Cherokee (335HP), Durango (335HP), Dakota (HEMI engine is not offered in the Dakota), Magnum R/T (340HP), and 300C (340HP). The horse power in all these vehicles vary for the same reason that there is an increase in horse power in the Charger R/T with the Road/Track Group and the Daytona R/T. They all have different intakes and exhausts which affect their horse power output.

350 hp charger (dont know where youre getting the 400 from unless your talking about the upcomming srt)
35500 price as tested.
14.2 sec 1/4 mile. thats a full 1/2 second slower than the most conservative results on the mustang.
5.6 second 0-60. .2 slower than a mustang
car and driver also did indeed confirm that this dodge is ugly.
i know you're about to write something stoopid like "ya, but the srt 8 will be faster than a mustang gt. of course, i hope it would be being at least 15000 more expensive. then again, theres always the matter of the shelby mustang. in any case, make sure you pay for yours in cash so when we race for pink slips a la the dukes of hazzard, i wont end up oweing chrysler financial money on one of their rediculous finance schemes.
the new 2006 dodge charger.....theres no cure for ugly.
Do you really need someone else to tell you what looks good?

personally, I feel having to resort to calling another car ugly is a sad way to present an argument. The Mustang's performance can stand on its own ... 'nuff said.

Interior volume Charger, 105 cu ft, Mustang, 83 cu ft. luggage space, Charger 16 cu ft. Mustang, 13 cu ft. Oh by the way owners rated the Charger 9.5 out of 10, where Mustang OWNERS rated the Mustang 5.9 out of 10. Out of 10 categories Charger did better in all 10 vs the Mustang. Restating this was the OWNERS doing the rating. caranddriver.com is the source.

Because Dodge and a few other manufacturers have a problem with oil sludge causing engine failure on certain types of engines. Plus it's another way to cut costs since warranty repairs do cost the company money and lowers profit margins.
As for the speed, 13.8, 14.2, 15.x, I really don't care when the numbers are that close. If it was 18.x, I might care. Other than that, these really are 2 different cars and IMHO, should not be compared. They are of different classes...
Only able to get 2,000 off the "out the door" price, but acccording to edmunds, people are paying about MSRP, so not too bad of a deal.
In the infamous words of Roger Taylor - I'M IN LOVE WITH MY CAR
Got feel, for my automobile....
For those of you that have purchased an SXT, are you paying MSRP? A premium above MSRP? a negotiated price? If they are in such short supply, dealers may not be as willing to negotiate, no?
I got a good trade in for my Intrepid and that knocked the price down almost $10K plus the $500 finance from Chrysler. As far as how much off the MSRP I got, I don't know. I had 2 objectives financial wise when purchasing the car and I met them both.
OR, more likely, to appeal to a much larger crowd. Most folks looking for a 2-door don't have a big problem with accepting a car that has 4. The opposite is not true.

If the Charger is better than the Mustang then why are Charger RTs avialble everywhere and are being discounted $2000-3000 of MSRP while Mustang GTs are rarely seen sitting on lots and are currently commanding $2,000 to $3,000 above MSRP.
Is it only economics, did Dodge make too many and Ford too few?

P.S.- Ford does make a manual transmission model and it is still a coupe!
just for comparing both of them from outside may be the mustang might be a better design than charger coz it has only 2 doors. interior i dont think none of them are any great. options wise charger has more than mustang can ever fit in i got mine fully loaded for less than 35K i mean even the side airbags and self sealing tires, gps bluetooth and so on. if you put the same options for a mustang together it might end up some where closer to 30K but still u have only 2 doors and a trunk which can fit a gym bag and tennis rackets.
i bought it coz it had all the options i want including the power how many 4 door american cars are as fast as a charger just think of that.
i had both the cars and definetly i am happier with my charger than a gt mustang also i noticed this weekend when i was on a drive on highway 1 that every one has a mustang and for me thats not really special ( its my opinion).
one more thing i dont care what magazines rate any car as its always biased or one persons view ask a person who is driving it everyday you will get the best review either good or bad, till now i haven't had any problems and not expecting any so cheer up guys this is a good car and definetly worth the money.
i know the resale value of a mustang i had one when i was growing up so just keep the 2 doors of your CHEAP mustang to yourself
Let's get back to the subject of our discussion now - thanks.
