Default I Got a new car!!
2012 Dodge Charger RT



Overall its a great car, I like how it looks, how smooth it drives, and the huge 8.4" touch screen radio. Stock for stock I think the charger is faster but only by a slight margin and thats with a 370hp and 395lb-ft Hemi, its just too fat.
I plan on lightly modding it with a Mopar CAI, a tune, and a cutout. Im getting tints tomorrow, 4500k HIDs for the fogs to match the headlights are on thier way, and maybe some 22" rims later. Which ones do you guys like?



or
Gloss black 22" viper rims

VERY NICE MAN! Good color choice also. I'm really digging the gloss black vipers, white cars with black rims look fantastic. IMO. BTW the new GXP looks great next to my Camaro.

Please don't buy chrome wheels! Gloss black Viper wheels FTW! I have gloss black C4 ZR1 wheels on my white 99 T/A and I'm very happy with them.

Nice car! I love the interior on those. Not to mention it has some cues from the 70 charger (the tail lights, the hood and door scallops.) enjoy it my friend. Also go with the viper wheels. Always liked those on the chargers

George, US131 Dragstrip is only 5 miles from the house so, I'm hoping to get them both over this spring.
