Hey there! I just wanted to share some exciting news with you. I managed to break the 12-second barrier at the drag track using stock Micky Thompson drag radial tires straight out of the box! I clocked in at 12.90 seconds and reached a top speed of 106 mph.

Hi there! I noticed that my car makes a bit of a noise when the transmission is at 1500 rpm and under a slight load, specifically in gears 4 and 5. However, when I switch to manual mode, the noise goes away and the car shifts just fine. Unfortunately, Chrysler has refused to fix the issue, so I have sought legal assistance to help resolve this matter. Interestingly, I also drove a 2010 R/T and it had the same noise. Thanks for listening!

The car is great to drive! It exceeded my expectations both inside and out. It has plenty of room, including excellent trunk space, even with 4 adults. The interior is luxurious and the features are extraordinary. The factory audio system is leaps and bounds better than anything I've heard (excluding audio upgrades). It rides smoothly at any speed.

I've only had this car for about a month, but I'm really enjoying driving it. When I drove the car across the country one week after purchasing it, I got great mileage for this type of vehicle. It was really comfortable, even for hours on end. The handling is great, and even the 3.5 L has enough get-up-and-go.

I test drove the 2009 Dodge Charger (sxt) with 250hp and it was very nice. However, I was looking for something with more horsepower. Luckily, my dealer introduced me to the 6.1 hemi V8 (SRT8) with 425 horsepower. After test driving it, I knew it was the one for me and the same day it was parked in my backyard!

I recently purchased this car, but unfortunately, I have been experiencing a lot of issues with it. On the very first day, I noticed that the control arm was broken, but unfortunately, Dodge refused to cover the damages. Although I love the car and it has been my dream car for a long time, I am disappointed with how Dodge handles these types of problems. While I am still passionate about the car, I would not consider purchasing a Dodge again.

I strongly advise against purchasing a Dodge Charger. In my experience, both of the vehicles I purchased had significant mechanical issues that resulted in the dealer buying them back. The second vehicle experienced a catastrophic engine failure and electrical malfunction within two weeks of ownership. The first vehicle had persistent vibration issues and frequent misfires in the cylinders, which Dodge claimed were normal. Unfortunately, both cars were a complete nightmare. While they may have good gas mileage, the mechanical problems outweigh any potential benefits.
