    One Word: "Transmission" these car are actually much closer than they appear, damn near identical if they had the same transmission.

    • @TheZombaslaya
      @TheZombaslaya 9 лет назад +2

      Drex Addo They did. Where did that aggressive extended front end go? I think they just took a 14 and got a sledgehammer, then went to town on the grill. Then added Mercedes daytime running lights that look hideous and removed the cool slanted headlights. Non mi piace il 2015 dodge charger.

    @GUTSRacing 12 лет назад

    @TheHoloman24 6spd and 4spd is referring to the number of gears. In his reference he is talking about a 6spd standard transmission. in the past standard transmissions would have just about any number of gears, but in recent years it's more common to have either a 4spd automatic or 5 spd standard transmission, with 6spd transmissions available for most sports cars.

    @TKJWVU it can definitely be an option I mean I wasn't happy when they brought the name back with that car anyways lol, is the chrysler 300 srt8 awd? I wasn't a fan of the car so I never looked into it but I know 1 of it's other versions is awd like the 300 hemi c or something?

  • @wun1gee
    @wun1gee 11 лет назад

    Remarkably similar performance, and I'm glad to see that. The Challenger is an amazing vehicle but as a coupe it's not exactly convenient for a family man. The Charger seems to essentially be a 4-door Challenger at this point and that's a very good thing! Keeping that same performance with 4 doors is excellent.
    I'll be buying either a Challenger or Charger R/T here when the '13 Chargers are available. Want that 8-speed in an R/T!

    jay mindyah thank you i thought I was the only one that loved the older model dodge charger 2006 - 2010 they look more aggressive they look tough o love the new ones too Don't get me wrong but their making them smaller and smaller they don't look as tough as the older models used to look and as far as the 2015 dodge charger man I'm still not feeling it yet maybe and I'm hoping it'll grow on me but nothing about it screams muscle. I will forever and always love the older model that is the reason as to why I fell in love with dodge chargers in the first place.

  • @DcEvoIX
    @DcEvoIX 12 лет назад

    @TKJWVU I might question it touching 180 mph stock awd it's like a 400whp evo it has half the cylinders but it revs higher with better gearing, so it can run 11's at that point but the mph is still gonna be under 180mph with stock cams, not really on a gtr or z06 level, nomatter what they can be fun, but I'm into old school muscle and import's that lap porsche's with little to no mods, so a awd muscle car is not my cup of tea there is other options for the money.

  • @BL80488
    @BL80488 12 лет назад

    @jkheslekrants The shifting issues are due to the Ford SKIP-SHIFT system designed to stop drivers from mis-shifting ( say your in 3rd gear on the interstate at 5,000 rpm the system wont allow you to down shift into 2nd cuz you would either hit hit the rev.limiter or Over-rev the motor, the same goes for shifting int a high gear at too low of a speed, say 4th at 1,200 rpm to 5th. The trans isn't the prob, it is a system set up to stop the driver from damaging their vehicle.

    Completely agree. I own an 05 mustang gt all motor. And I'm runing 12.50s @ 110mph in the 1/4 mile with all the basic bolt ons, intake, exhaust, pullies, tune. Anything that can trap 110 or better and run under mid to high 12s or better in the 1/4 mile WITH looks, is a sensation to drive, regardless of the brand. I have not driven an srt-8 but i know the feeling of that power. Its basically the perfect amount of horsepower for the street. THIS is coming from a ford guy who appreciates all cars

    I have the 2012 Charger RT Max with all wheel drive. All the tech gadgets and just below the SRT in power and handling. The Charger is amazing, especially since the restyling in 2011. I would have preferred the Challenger since I am a Barracuda fan (own a '66) but all wheel drive only an option on the Charger and I live in a winter climate. Regardless, the performance is the best I have had in a car.

    @Snuggles5000 12 лет назад

    @chargerfun34 you're wrong. The one foot rollout is only referring the "one foot" (it's actually about 11.5 inches) of tire that's actually touching the ground. The timer, in this case to 60mph, doesn't begin until the end of the tires leaves the pavement, thus giving the one foot rollout time about 3-4 mph cheat. So rollout 0-60 will always be a few tenths of a second quicker than regular 0-60. Again, this is only used at drag strips so your time doesn't start until you actually start moving f

    @BL80488 You know... I am not sure if my husband is having problems with the trans in his Challenger or if its a clutch issue but I know he has hardly any passing power in 5th and 6th unless its above a certain RPM (the problem occurs when he hits the gas and the RPMs go up but there is hardly any acceleration- is that the trans or clutch? maybe both?). He is waiting for vacation time to get it to the stealership.

    @CAHKRO Since he was referring to the robotic gearbox/transmission vs a manual or auto transmission, and since these cars have more or less the same HP (500 hp for a M5, stand it), and since the new M5 does have a V8 too, that's not dumb.
    I love muscle cars, and I'll surely buy one instead of a M5, but open your eyes. Those cars need some afterwork if you want to get the best out of them, even without touching the engine.
