    Still haven't been able to get over the name, Chargers are supposed to be 2 doors.

    I don't care how fast it is, it's still not a Charger.

    The Super Bee editions and similar are pure blasphemy!!
    It's all BS until you can show me the time slip!

    I love my 2013 SRT8 Charger with 4 doors. Great for us old people to get in and out of.

    0 to 60 times of 4.4 to 4.7 with very little effort.

    I get compliments on it frequently at gas stations, parking lots and drive-throughs.

    I hate the charger. I like the 60s and 70s models though. No doubt its fast but even if they gave that car 900hp I wouldn't drive one. Its ugly and all wrong. Now the challenger on the other hand is all right. Only dodge car I would like to have.

    My son has the 2012 SRT8 Challenger in blue streak with twin silver stripes (all factory orig). Same 470 HP as my SRT8 Charger.

    It is very comfortable for 2 people, but cramped for 5.

    My son loves it. He gets lots of complements and free valet parking up front with the Ferraris and Lamborghinis at Vegas Hotels.

    I agree. The Charger should be a 2dr, like the old days. But, it wouldn't make sense to have two 2dr models in the lineup. Maybe that was their logic to bring back BOTH nameplates. Make one a 2dr and the other a 4dr. They did a nice job making the Challenger like the original, though.

    Just drive a 300 SRT-8 instead. Maybe, they will make a Hellcat 300!

    My wife has a 2007 Charger R/T with the R/T package. Never gets a second look either on the highways, streets, at stop lights or in parking lots.

    The Marauder. on the other hand, always gets looks, where ever I'm driving it.

    I agree.... no "Charger" should have 4-doors.

    My daily driver choice came down between 3 cars. A 08 plum crazy daytona charger , a 2011 toxic orange charger rt or my marauder. I always wanted a marauder since the first time i saw them so i went with it. But fwiw, im a mopar guy and while i wish they were 2-door i think the charger and superbee name is better than some the crap they rolled out in the mid 70s and 80s. The aspen road runners, the 80s chargers...etc. theymay not back up the name with looks but the performance is there

    The Charger is quicker.... "no replacement for displacement" off the line but the Marauder wins at the end of the 1320.

    Operation make Marauder faster than a CTS-V and now HellCat Charger under way . Great time to be a car fan
    If it's cheap and reliable it isn't fast
