I don't like the style much but they will offer a 6.1lt 425HP Hemi I have heard. The original 426 put out about 500hp even though they advertised it at 425....but you gotta love this. If someone can figure out how to put it in the Kat I'm buying a motor.

I said this before, Chrysler is misusing the name Charger by applying to this 4-door thing they have created. They need to wait another twenty years to resurrect that nameplate. We will be too old to care then......

It seems like everyone forgot the 75 and later Chaqrger SE. Total restyle. Later to become the Magnum with little change, maybe headlites and rear end. Now they are using the names for different versions of the same car.I was wondering how many 2 door sedans are made today that you can actually use the back seat. Ever since Ford got a 4 door into NASCAR (Tarus) I don't think any American manufacturer makes a 2 door model any more, they just don't sell well today.

so true ! there are more of the early chargers around than the 71 and newer styles... they had an issue with rust.... they crumbled after 3 years... i remember seeing the first 71 charger....made me almost cry, i couldn't believe they could take such a great design as my 68 and transform it into a boat/like monster.....good point... they don't sell many 2 doors now, cause they don't make them...can't sell from an empty basket .
