Don't do it man.  A boycott is the only way to let DC know they screwed up.


And another thing,  I don't car how fast it is.  It is still ugly as sh!t.   :ack:

If it were suposed to be an AMC Matador I would say they got it right on

The shape the grill, quarter window and semi fastback is to close


Tell me I'm right :dogpile: :dogpile:

I would be pretty embarassed to drive something like that.

People will point and gawk:  "look at that teenager wanna-be driving a musclecar-wannabe with four doors b/c he has a family he needs to haul"!

No thanks.  If you want four doors, but want to haul arse with some subtelty and CLASS, I would want this:

'70 318-auto Chally 'vert
'71 383-auto 'Cuda 'vert (sold)
06 300c SRT8
04 2500 QCLB 4x4 HO

Im going to set myself up for criticism, but since when did DC screw up??? They put 2 extra doors on a car and its the end of the world. The fact is that 4-doors sell more than 2-door cars, if DC would have made it a 2-door they would have been setting themselves up for a flop(like the GTO). The new Charger SRT-8 is more car than ANY other production Charger has been. It handles better, gets to 60 faster, gets to 100 faster, does the 1320 faster, and STOPS 200% better than any other charger before. Furthermore, it is built better, requires less maintence, has more creature comforts, and can do everything that the old charger could. In fact, the only catagory the Charger SRT-8 falls short in is the top speed and thats against the DAYTONA!!! So once again, how did they screw up???...the charger is still a serious street performer that sits 4(just like the 60s), all DC did was add two doors and a different body...
