Skinner Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 That is pure sweetness but guess what, actual production cars are never as cool as their protos. The hideaway lights won't happen and it'll probably only be available as a 4 door with an auto.. again. Auto yes I think second year of production will have the option. is no point if a 4 door when you have the charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rl Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 But with the same lame 5 speed auto they are going to limit torque input into the trans so it will not be nearly as fast as it could be (not better than the current motors with the same 5 speed auto). Its advertised hp will be higher, but it will never show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 it is a Charger.. exactly why make a 4 door that would only take away sales or over-populate your lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 What? The picture I quoted is of some prototype charger.. you're making my head explode Its all in the details, I thought it was a challenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 But with the same lame 5 speed auto they are going to limit torque input into the trans so it will not be nearly as fast as it could be (not better than the current motors with the same 5 speed auto). Its advertised hp will be higher, but it will never show up. They pull pretty hard, and they feel a hair quicker than the Charger on the butt dyno, but they also don't have the weak differential of the Charger and you can get an aggressive rear end gear that could make it feel quicker too. Bottom line: You don't know yet because they may have been limiting the torque to the transmission in order to save the differential. I don't know the reason, so I can't give you a definate answer.
