2027+ SRT Charger Supercharged V8s

Not sure what I think of the new Charger....don't hate it, but don't love it either. Not interested in paying 60-70k for an I6. If they put a V8 back in them it might make it a little more enticing. Problem is they will probably over price them to the point few can afford them when they do bring the V8 back.

My friend had a 2018 Ram and traded it for the i6 version. Took me for a ride and it's way faster than the 5.7 so there's that

Reminds me of an f40

Not even close....the F40 had round tailights

At this point, I think it is unlikely Dodge will offer something to attract me away from what I have during my remaining years as an enthusiast.

Like I've said before, the problem with the Charger is it was designed as an EV with ICE being an after thought. I doubt very seriously ICE regardless of HP will be a big win in that vehicle. It's all they've got at present, unfortunately.

This cannot be understated. The unibody structure was designed from the outset for the loads, weight, torque, mounting points and every other aspect of what it was originally hoped to be. Everything about the ICE version is a compromise.

They might be able to make something work, but it will not be anywhere near what it could have been.

Just imagine Tesla deciding to shoehorn an ICE into one of their cars...

I thought I read early on that the new Charger was designed to be nonbinary. Could be wrong.

Yeah, make it an airplane AND a boat. Or make it both. The better it is as an EV, the worse it will be as ICE. And if you want both, it'll be more expensive and not so good as either, AND at the highest cost.

Back in the day, we has a saying about any new project: Time, cost, quality, pick any two. I'm trying to come up with something similar for this

That’s a high bar.

They’re friendly compared to allpar.

How exactly do you do that?

How exactly do you do that?

How would I know? I was a middle school teacher.

Give it a male and a female charging port.

Give it a male and a female charging port.

And tell it to go F itself.
