i like these cars, they have really nice interiors. the SRT version looks pretty good from the outside too. hes a family man so the 4 door thing is ok. im happy hes getting himself a nice car but what the deal with these things?

are they any good. i dont like doge too much but their hemi in the trucks seems to be reliable.

whats up with the engine? 435hp? 6.1 liter? what makes all the power is it just a big engine of does it have a blower on it or somthing? i dont know much about them. what do they run? i know their heavy.

I think the SRT-8 runs high 12s @ 108ish with a good driver. Not sure about reliability....but im 99.9% sure they are N/A.

AKA, he will be as fast as you and me LOL. Sucks I know...but thats why we are getting FI soon

Ugh... hate Dodge.

I guess it's OK if he needs the room of a sedan. But I hate what they did with the Charger, and wouldn't buy one if it was the last muscle car being produced.

That and the GTO.

6.1 Hemi, N/A. No FI on it.

It's a great car if he needs the 4 seats and likes the body style. No displacement on demand though, so the gas mileage is a bit on the low side. The brakes get upgraded, larger rims, different hood and spoiler (spoiler don't match the car IMO), different front splitter. Probably a few other things I don't know off hand.

got cha, thanks guys. yea i personally rather have a GTO. they really grew on me over the years. very plain and nice interior. i love the seats. a black one with black deep dish wheels would look bad ass. the engine is awsome.

anyway i will throw some other ideas in his head about what to get....well see.

yea, were going forced induction to be able to beat cars like this. ashame it takes so much work to beat these stock cars, but thats what we got ourselves into.

however, when we are done theres not going to be too many cars on the street that can tough us.

GTO M6 ftw - even though Dodge has gotten better in the last couple of years, they still suck horribly, and their latest lineup is pathetic (I mean c'mon, wtf is that NITRO thing all about!).

Most likely. But if I had a few ankle biters and wanted something with a little get-up, Id consider one.

If Ford made a 4-door with some balls, I'd consider it as well.

Bra FTW

Im with most of you guys Dodge FTL. But the Srt 8 is alright. Like Helty if I had some little ones to take around I'd do it. As far as the GTO goes power and handling exterior Not a big fan of pontiacs styling. Saw a silver 06 GTO I first thought it was a glorified Gran Prix

They do. Unfortunately the bean counters at Ford are stupid and don't bring the Falcon to America.

I'd drive a Charger SRT-8. Good combo of power and 4-doors. Great for the family man. Wonder what that beast of a powerplant would do with some mods?

Although the Jeep Cherokee SRT might tempt me too.

Falcon . Man those are some sweet looking cars...totally different than anything else overhere. I personally thing that they would sell well.

My dad has one of the original falcons....1963 futura 2Dr hard top. SUPER hard to find, and looks awsome. Stock they dont look great...as with the 66 mustangs like mine, but throw some rims on and make a few mods and they come to life. My dad cut out his where the rear fendor half way covers the rear tires, so that its like normal cars where you can actually see the whole tire LOL and it looks 10000X better than stock ones.
