I went to the dealership earlier today and looked at a 06 Dodge Charger Daytona Go Mango R/T....What a ride!!!!! It's a beautiful car and it rides really good. Its not as smooth as the SS but my god is this thing fast!!! The sales lady didnt drive with me so you know i had to drive like i robbed a bank. It pushed all the way up to 130 like it wasnt nothing. Im looking to hear from them and see what they say as far as payments go..

IDK too much about these. Are they easy to mod?? I just bought my GXP like a year ago, and already I am having doubts. I really want a Camaro SS, but I owe a lot on my GXP, and buying a new Maro would put me over the limit :bomb:

I've tried many times to get out of the LS4 game..can't convince myself in the end. Its always going from a 08 to an older car with more miles, no warranty, at a higher price. Sucks when you can't sell a 08 GP GXP for more than $10k :(

when he says "more aftermarket" i think of things like - headers, catbacks, tunes, CAI, intake manifolds, headers, rockers, cam, spray, turbo's, etc,,, we have all of this stuff for LS4's too :confused:

Dude either way you look at it modding a cars,is gonna cost you a pretty penny...Just get sum headers,tune,and find yourself a good exhaust setup(cuz it seems like you change your exhaust every wknd,lol)J/P

That is true,I've beatin plenty of R/T's on the streets...I like that MOPAR abrevation,How about this one HEMI=hardly enough motor inside
SSCoop
06-23-2010, 10:10 AM
the LS4 cars have somewhat of an aftermarket but not enough like the HEMI. im not worried about how much its gonna cost to mod it but i dont want my tranny to blow up because these trannys are sh*ty compared to dodge's transmissions. plus they have some R/T's in AWD so thats definitely a plus. dont get me wrong i love my impala but hearing everyone talk about how weak these transmissions are and blah blah blah, u would tend to go with a different car as well

I thought about the Hemi powered cars myself when I purchased my MCSS. But the looks of the Monte overcame my urge for the Hemi. That being said, if I had purchased the Hemi 4door I would probably still have it. Unlike the Monte, I ended up needing the 2 extra doors, thats the main reason I no longer have the MCSS.

The best MPG I have gotten outa 1 tanks has been 46.5 that was 667 miles on that tank. I figured I might as well buy something with four doors and gets some serious MPG. Just not as fun to drive!

If not worried about money why don't you have a built tranny,headers,tune,or a turbo...Me personally I grown on my Impy,after having a V6 on dubs,systems.I needed my V8 power back,if I were to get rid of this car it would have to be a G8 GT/GXP or TBSS...other wise I love my family car, LOL...

Zero to 60 in 4.4 secs. The top speed is over 165 mph.
You're right, an LS4 would need a turbo to keep up. That's if it doesn't fall apart first.

The Challenger has the same motor and is much lighter. Imaging that.
The Challenger is even faster than the Charger. One Day, I'll have one these two. When I drove the Charger I completely lost interest in my GXP. It's just a matter of time before I own one of these SRT8's. I'll make due with this Pontiac until the time is right.

Challenger is a fat pig, they look nice but don't perform up to par in my book for the price. They aren't really much lighter than the Charger SRT8, also which doesn't perform up to par in my book for the price and having that much power and only running mid 13's on average.
I do agree they're an upgrade from our LS4 cars, but for the price difference it's really a matter of opinion. I'd take a LS2 CTS-V or a G8GT/GXP over either in a heartbeat.

I am glad I read this post! I too looked at the Charger R/T but could not pull the trigger. The looked too plain Jane and everyone around here perped theirs out!
I just bought a 08 Impala SS in Austin Texas for a little under $20k. The car had about 3500 miles on it. Now a month and a half later I have 8600 miles on it now. It was in the dealership for a broken fan switch and a/c unit (maybe caused by a fist or two to the unit for the ticking going on). I have to bring it back in for a steering wheel rattle. Both of my SSEi's had the dame problem. There were never fixed. The hood and trunks clear coat is peeling. I know it is still under factory warranty. The car was just bought Feb of 2010 and traded in May.
Anyhow I mod all my cars! I just can not leave anything alone. That being said, a K&N cold air, magnaflow exhaust with hogan downpipe, and a Vengeance Racing tune. This thing is still slow. I have an 02 P.E. Camaro and a 06 TB SS. I rarely drive them.
I got rid of my daily driver 05 Taurus (Team Taurus) for something nice. I love the way the car looks, but as far as the performance... there is not much of it. I am kinda questioning the purchase!

The regular Charger R/T does look plane but if u go with a Charger R/T with the Road and Track Package (Extra 10 hp, Chin spoiler, Rear Spoiler, Leather Seats with the suede in down the middle with R/T stitched in the headrest. same interior just the like Daytonas) Daytona R/T look good as well.

i dont get what the fuss is about. i see so many chargers out on the road. usually they are the v6 models with some stupid 22" rims or some shit. i've stomped so many r/t's too that think they can play. honestly its an overweight, bland 4 door car that is underpowered and too pricey. how does that turn heads?
sure the srt-8 is the big daddy badass car and i should be shaking in my general motors issued boots. but fwiw, i yanked one when i sprayed him from a low roll. the look on his face as i walked on by was great. yeah whatever, i probably beat the driver but anything with a curb weight over 4k and "fast" are tough to combine in the same sentence. trust me, when I took out my spare, jack, subs, rear seats and ran, the monte gets its beast mode on. shows you how important weight is when building/modding a car.

Let me hop in on this discussion because I can see what SScoop is saying. The GXP and Monte owners are in a different boat than us Impala owners. IMHO the Montes look great and the GXP looks good too, but the Impalas are plain jane on the outside and in. I like my Impala and whether its faster than a Charger R/T or not I'd go with the Charger if I could've gotten similar features for the same price. I'm not gonna argue which is faster or which costs what, but I am gonna say the Impala SS is not as attractive as a Charger R/T. I think the Charger cop cars look bad ass and the Impala cop cars look average. I'm not a fan boy either way and I don't care which car is faster. Anyone looking for the fastest 4 door sedan for drag racing didn't come to the right place if they bought either car.

standard debbie downer here. how did i know that was going to be your first response. as far as the whole defensive thing, you're on car forum man. we're going to pick apart everything you say. your first post in this thread was foolishly one sided, so i called you out on it. most of these guys in here know a fair share about cars across all makes; say something out of line and there's a good chance you will get straightened up factually.
i'll take the young/childish comment as a compliment because i am young, and proud of it. actually, well done, maturity on your part...calling people you don't know childish...you're a saint :angel:
as far as the link, i dont really give two shits. I don't drive a G8 GXP and probably never will, so comparing those two cars to an LS4 car is out of left field. There are very little good dragstrips in CA. I've run my car a total of two times at the strip and it was a pain in the ass...waiting for runs, poor track prep, expensive rental, too many ricers. Thats the thing about cars, you never know whats going to happen, you can't make speed transitive (well my GXP is faster than the SRT8 but slower then my monte because). all i know is i lined up against an SRT8 and wasn't impressed. but its not like you know my mods besides the spray or anything
i have a feeling this is gonna be the new bdyman (i think thats what his name was)
did that guy receive the banhammer? havent seen him in a while around these parts. must be working on his POS alero.
No shit. You'd have to be really narrowminded to not believe a Nitrous LS4 can't beat an SRT8 vehicle.

Let me hop in on this discussion because I can see what SScoop is saying. The GXP and Monte owners are in a different boat than us Impala owners. IMHO the Montes look great and the GXP looks good too, but the Impalas are plain jane on the outside and in. I like my Impala and whether its faster than a Charger R/T or not I'd go with the Charger if I could've gotten similar features for the same price. I'm not gonna argue which is faster or which costs what, but I am gonna say the Impala SS is not as attractive as a Charger R/T. I think the Charger cop cars look bad ass and the Impala cop cars look average. I'm not a fan boy either way and I don't care which car is faster. Anyone looking for the fastest 4 door sedan for drag racing didn't come to the right place if they bought either car.
Thats all im saying. These impalas look too bland and the Charger R/T's look better IMO. As far as speed goes, yes u shouldnt go with either one but hey, the chargers get more looks. A friend of mine has a charger and he gets wayyy more looks than i do but its ok. Plus the charger is RWD and u could get a r/t with AWD something these cars dont offer. The impala is a sleeper but its just too damn plain. The montes and the gxp's are nice i wish i could have one of them but i have a plain ass boring impala

I really don't care what mods you have.
If you put the same mods on an SRT8 who's gonna see taillights?
The answer is you.
Your neck must be sore, considering that it's having a hard time supporting
all of that heavy ego occupying space in your head. Get over yourself and
your "my car is the best in the world" crap. There are so many cars out there
that will eat you alive on the streets that it's pathetic.

1. put the same mods on the SRT8? woah woah there sir. that's changing the terms of the game. i never said i spanked a modded/sprayed SRT8. if you recall my post, it clearly said i ran one, mods unknown, and pulled. thats nice if the car picks up more power than us mod for mod. i wasnt pointing that out. i retain the same point the entire thread, the R/Ts are boring and there's too many and the SRT8s have the "propensity" to be fast and are overpriced. in essence, i would never own a charger or challenger.
2. when did i claim my car is the best in the world? in fact i think it sucks. shitty transmission, poor build quality, and just this night the battery in the fob died and the key broke off in the lock tumbler. it was a nice walk home. i know full and well that my monte carlo is slow. i have other cars for going fast. this is my modded dd. you're jumping to conclusions thinking that i seriously "race" my car with the mindset that i can sweep the streets.
3. please. the video you posted showing "beastial, raw, untarnished horsepower" is a SRT8 running a 13 flat and 80's g-body monte carlo running a 12.6?
LOL somebody race this guy...i dont think i could even muster up a 12.6 oh no.

At least you recognize that You're an idiot. Just because you own a particular vehicle doesn't make it the be-all-end-all. It's not my fault you take offense to the point of acting like a little school girl when someones says anything the least bit negative about your precious LS4. I keep saying SR8 and accenting it so that it pisses you off moron. The first one was a type-o but since you siezed the opportunity with your moron buddies to bash me with it, I did it on purpose so I could address your dumb ass directly. How old are you? Seriously. You're so clever. You deserve a trophy. If you didn't care that other cars were faster, you would have kept your mouth shut and never included the stupid ass childish comments which you have been throwing in. Your intellect is inferior. You thought it'd be funny to bash me. Now it's my turn.

More like 13. I was fine and getting along until you decided it would be funny to start bashing on me. So, who's the one that started all this? I would suggest you take a read from the beginning of this thread and reaccess your very misplaced thoughts about me. I can't call you out for acting like an idiot in a failed attempt to look superior? Think Again.
I could be 5 and no one would know because I don't attack and bash people who don't like what they drive anymore in a sad attempt to gain more clout in this forum. I've got an idea. Why don't you go test drive one of the cars I have mentioned. ahem...SR8, Then come back on here and share your research with the rest of us. Have you ever driven one? Or are you so biased that you can't do it for fear you'll be bashed by the other biased ones? Glad you like your car. I don't like it anymore, is that okay with you and everyone else chiming in? I am stuck with this GXP until I can get something FASTER and NICER. LIKE AN SR8.

Ok guys, this needs to quit. GXP303, don't come onto a forum of enthusiasts who love their cars and start bashing it if you can't come up with some sort of backing for your argument except "this car sucks, xxx car is better because it's faster and nicer." You should expect to be met with resistance and be prepared to carry on a civil and logical debate. The name calling and downing of other members will not be tolerated. If you hate your GXP so much, sit at home and hate it. We don't need to hear about it. I warned you in the other thread, keep it up and it won't matter if you WANT to post on here anymore or not. We're a tight knit community, so take your childish, devisive antics somewhere else.

i dont want full reign over your thoughts and actions because quite frankly, you're foolish if you think a sprayed ls4 cant beat a stockish SRT8 and you are even more of a fool if you defend that opinion so vehemently on an LSx website. does it make sense to go on SRT Forums and tell them how slow their cars out and say "oh i cant wait to get my ls4, its gonna smoke yours because i can quote all these magazine specs" and argue with members there that own the car in question?

You are wrong. (that's a fact)
2010 Dodge Charger SRT8: 425 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm.
Zero to 60 in 4.4 secs. The top speed is over 165 mph.
You're right, an LS4 would need a turbo to keep up. That's if it doesn't fall apart first.
If it doesn't fall apart? Now your being a dick. (just my opinion)
"You get what you pay for."I bought a used turbo kit on the cheap, and I do my own wrenching. I'd say I've got one hell of a bang for the buck.
I really don't care what mods you have.
