just checking to see if anyone on this forum owns a dodge charger srt8 2012 and up with the 6.4 liter engine, 470 hp and 470 lb-ft. the gas mileage sucks and you have to pay a gas guzzler tax when bought new. performance wise I have read a lot of good reviews for such s big car and it holds its own with the mustang gt and Camaro ss . please share your info, thoughts, or experience . I like this car but they are expensive new, I wouldn't want to put that much money in it. but I can see myself in a used one a few years down the road.
4400 pounds and a five speed auto guarantee poor mileage. 470 HP doesn't help. If it had a 6 speed manual it might do better. My GTO beat the guzzler tax that way. But I doubt it would help that much, given the bulk and HP.
People that buy nearly 500 HP aren't usually concerned about MPG.
EDIT: Oops, I not sure why I thought you said Challenger. Need more coffee.
You can get a used '12 Charger SRT8 for under $40K and under 15k miles, fully loaded. Bargain in my books. Only other thing that competes for the price is a CTS-V but you need to go down to a 2009/2010 CTS-V with over 50k miles to get in the same price ball park. I'd personally go for a 300 SRT8, as the interior is more upscale.
If I didn't live where it snows 8 months out of the year, I'd buy myself a '12 Charger/300C SRT8. Love 'em.

That's not a Charger. A Charger is a 2 door made in the late 60's.
That 4 door grocery getter, soccer practice delivery almost a mini van piece of unibody garbage is not a Charger.
I had a '68 Charger and every time I see that thing with the Charger name on it it offends me.
That new Challenger I think is awesome, as good as the originals or better. That 4 door overreved thing they are calling the Charger should have been the Polara or Monaco. That would have made sense to me.

Quite honestly, no one cares for your opinion. The current Charger is a Charger because that's the name Chrysler put on it. This is a fact. Chasing dreams from yesteryear is great and all but lets get with the times. Today's Charger is a four door and if you don't like it you can buy another car. The great thing about this country is that anyone can select a product of their choice and that applies to you as well as anyone who wants a four door Charger.
all I know is every time I see a Charger SRT/8 I wish I would have bought it instead of my SHO.
Either a 300 SRT/8 or Charger SRT/8 will be the next thing living in my driveway.
