my thoughts exactly :) |
moving faster than I thought
|
I can't wait to see the options list for this car. When my lease is up on the 300C SRT8 I'll probably look at one of those as a replacement. They will be bigger than the Camaro which is better suited to me with the dogs/kids :)
I wonder if the new 500hp motor will make it in this car? Cheers, Chris |
uh oh....spaghettio's
|
uh oh is completely right! dead sexy man!
|
That is going to be a gorgeous(sp) car :drool: I cain't wait to see one on the streets and see how they really preform :devil:
|
It would be great on dates if there would be rear bench style seating :D

I'd love the rear bench so I could strap in three car seats LOL! :)
|
Very cool!
|
It would be nice to see some more retro cars coming out instead of the same deadbeat lines that are shoved down our throats every year.
|
Sweet.

Damn, she's fine.
I can't wait till someone tastefully mods one... all black, serious tint, some ginormo wide rear meats. Mmmm.... :drool: |
Let's see Honda or Toyota build something as cool as that ! They keep trying to convince us of how much better their crappy little econoboxes are.....
|
Here's a link to more pics. Looks like it will have a 6.1 engine. Wonder what hp/torque figures it will have.

That's going to be one sick looking car. I can't wait to see one in person!
|
Thats aweosme, i am not one to buy new cars, but i might have to make an exception.

:drool: I like! Wondering what these will put down for numbers?
RT |
Any idea of the release dates for these to hit the streets?
|
Sweet! Should make for some great competition :drive:
|
i think this is going to be great. It is going to be the second coming of the musclecar wars!!!! It is already starting of pretty heated.
|
If they do all the terrible programming that they did on the current SRT-8 line up they will kill the car and its following much like what is starting to develop with the SRT-8 crowd at present.
Problems will be: No way to tune the computer Drive by wire with terrible lag and disconnect feeling Way to intrusive ESP with no way to disable completely Terribly slow shifting transmission No manual Option ADAPTIVE LEARNING Just to name a few. And yes I have a SRT-8 and the title transfers next week to the new owner. After 6000 miles I can't take it anymore. The platform has such potential but with DCX's abortion can-bus system and no way to fix it, the car is a dissapointment. |
wrong. There is no "cheap" way to get around the DCX factory tuning. You can always install a stand-alone engine management system if you want to get wild, but figure that is $2000-2500 to do so. ;)

95ttoplt1,
You can totally disable ESP on SRT8 only. Press the ESP button to turn off ESP then press and hold button until ESP disabled displays on odometer. Then shift trans to 1 and there is no torque management. Now you can boil the tires off the rims. Have fun. :drive: |

Right and how does all that interface with the can-bus system. Thats right it doesn't. And then what do you us to control the tranny? I haven't seen any programmable TCM or a stand alone TCM for the tranny yet. And then what if you want to change gears in the rear?? That right there is no way(electronically) to get around this either. Sorry the electrical hang-ups with the platform are huge and well documented. Look at a dyno sheet for any SRT-8 and check out the AFR reading. Looks like Michael J Fox was trying to draw a straight line. No thanks. AND BTW the ESP can never be fully diabled, as well as the torque management. I had the B&G stage 2 and it was still there. Maybe if you get the stage 3 or higher where the ESP is deleted from the computer completely but that wasn't an option for me as it was my wifes car. I think I know the hold the button trick :eyes: Sorry guys this car just really left a bitter taste in my mouth, and I'm not talking from "what I have read on the internet" I have experienced this first hand. |
way better looking than the new maro coming out. as long as it looks like that it will be awesome. i dont like the idea of not having a way of tuning it and not having a feel for the car, if its like the srt8 that one guy was talking about. and with this hemi and a big KB super charger i bet 600 rwhp wont be an issue...just my thoughts
|
^600 whhp wouldn't be an issue now on motor if a viable tuning option was available now for the 6.1, I mean seriously we have the top end to do it.
KB hasn't jumped in yet because there is no real tuning option out yet. Don't believe me check there site. The Maro' get my vote big time over this thing, DCX has too many lawyers watching the assembly line for this to be a success. |

I still have my F-body :) guess where the Charger payment is going?? I have an LT1 so no torque management ever.
The LX platform does have alot of potential in the hardware, it just getting the electronics to let you do it. |
Went to a dodge dealer yesterday looking for a car for the wife and a salesman was telling me that the charger didn't pass crash testing and that they had pushed back the progress a bit. BUT, I don't know what to believe cause this guy didn't know much about the Caliber he was trying to sell us, so I don't want to read too much into anything he told me about the Charger. Could very well be old information.
