Hello everyone!
Metro Detroit guy here, Newbie on Charger Forums, not a newbie to Mopar
Soon, I'll be heading in for a Dodge Charger SXT AWD. I needed a car that would be : Fun for a daily driver, very occasional (couple times a year) track use, AWD since I'm in Michigan, within budget, looks badass.
Would have loved it if the 5.7L Daytona was available with AWD, but oh well...
I have a few questions for the knowledgable members here, prior to the purchase. I plan to purchase it inside a month.
Custom build options : Black exterior, black Premium Cloth Seats upgrade, Rallye Group, Blacktop Package, Drivers Convenience Group,
Nav & Travel (undecided), Power Sunroof (undecided)
1. The Blacktop Package comes with Hyperblack wheels. Can anyone please upload a pic of these wheels on their car?
The standard shiny SXT AWD don't appeal to me. The spokes are not attractive, but it looks way too chromy for my taste, but the Hyperblack wheels from the Blacktop Package look great.
2. Does the car come with Apple Carplay? I did remember seeing it is Android auto compatible. I will skip Nav and Travel group if it is Carplay friendly.
3. How does it handle in the snow, being primarily RWD, but AWD ready when needed? I'm yet to drive a Challenger or Charger with an AWD in snowy weather. I have driven a friend's Challenger Scat Pack in inclement weather and it wasn't that great at all.
4. Black exterior, black interior, black wheels would give it a mysterious look as an advantage. If I had to go for a second color, I have granite in mind.
Is the Destroyer Gray as dull as it looks on the Dodge website? Any other colors that are worth looking at in person - Octane Red?
If I go for Granite, i'll get the black roof!
5. Has anyone taken this car to a track day? I know it's not Hellcat or 392 level of fast, but can the brakes and severe duty engine cooling handle at least a few laps of spirited driving?
6. When is the next refresh expected? if it's MY2018, i'm ready to wait a year!
Hope to own this kickass car soon, enjoy it year round and contribute to this forum!:grin2:
