i've been farting around this forum for a little while now and figured i'd make my 1st post.
i took a charger r/t for a test drive today and, i gotta say, that thing is pretty sweet! i drive a GMC Syclone right now and its just getting to be a little more than i want to deal with right now and couple that with the incredible gas prices, i've decided to start looking for something new. i want a car that is fast and fun to drive that is somewhat practical and i wont cringe everytime another mile ticks off on the odometer. the syclone has all that except for that last part-it kills me to use such an incredible collectors vehicle as a daily driver.
as far as the charger goes, it doesnt quite have the kick in the pants i was hoping for but it moved decently enough. one thing it does have on the syclone is the suspension. if i bought one i could finally take some corners again! and i love that the most-drag strips are fun, but ive come to realize i love whipping cars around nasty s-curves and the like. the interior was pretty good. the seats were incredibly comfortable. granted, im used to sporty truck seats from 1991 but im a technician for Mercedes-Benz and the seats on a base R/T are some of the most comfortable seats i have ever sat in! being more than familiar with benz stuff, i did kinda smirk at a lot of the parts lifted from the benz parts bin, but thats fine with me, i know how the stuff works and i know its quality stuff to begin with. as far as gas mileage goes the charger gets 10+ more than what im getting now and im already used to buying premium so its quite the step-up. AND i can fit 3 more people in the car AND have a useable trunk (pick up truck beds suck when you're buying groceries).
im pretty sold on this car. now i just gotta sell my truck. which hurts like hell but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. anywho, just wanted to say hi, so...hi!
