For some reason it looks more like an Evo X front bumper

HKYStormFront · 02-09-2011, 10:24 AM

wow i'm glad the production GTR doesn't look like that (tho it is close). hate that front clip on the GTR...

anyway, yea the new charger looks pretty good in SRT get-up. plus that powertrain... also glad they are finally putting a good interior in those cars. looks a million times better than when they first debuted

Yeah, same here, when I first saw the shot I immediately thought of the Evo.

yeah same here, EVO

I read that its supposed to do 0-60 in under 5, and 1/4 in high 12's?? really??

Red__Zed · 02-09-2011, 12:22 PM

looks like an EVO, or even a RAM front end. I actually see a lot of RAM in that bumper.

Yep. Shouldn't be much of an issue for this car to dip into the 12s.

I would want if it wasnt a sedan and if the rear end wasnt so fugly.

The first thing I thought was "a mini RAM?"

doesn't really look anything like a GT-r

ThoriumHotdog · 02-09-2011, 01:18 PM

Automatic only?

ProfessorDave · 02-09-2011, 01:26 PM

I like the wheels.

ThoriumHotdog · 02-09-2011, 01:36 PM

I like the numbers, 465bhp and 465lb ft of torque.
