Well i saw one today on the Florida Turnpike, in Broward county. It was driving in the opposite direction, silver with the black stripes. I got so excited when i saw it i called it a charger . But just it driving down the street put a smile on my face from ear to ear, the car looked amazing for those few seconds.

Saw my first one in person tonight, a red-orange SRT-8 (they're all SRT-8s right now I think), very hot.

I really dig this car, I can't wait until a nicely broken in example hits a Northeast drag strip in late November/December...I predict a best of around 12.6 at over 110mph in bone stock trim.
If they can pull some weight out of it the car might see 12.4s.

13.3 @108mph in car and driver.

I'd say the car has a high 12 in it at best. The ******* car is over 4000 pounds!

Awesome car, but wow... what a pig.

Regardless if I had extra dough I'd take one in lime green with flat black stripes and black wheels...

I believe road and track got 13 flat out of it with a 4.7 sec 0-60
