I would take a '12 Challenger Yellow Jacket over the Bee though.

I understand the retro references, but for some of us of a certain age, or of slightly stealthier inclinations, a down down option would be nice rather than having to go for the full-on clown show to get the zesty mechanical bits. I loved the Bullett models for that reason: Steve McQueen in a tasteful black turtleneck rather than Rodney Dangerfield in a Zoot Suit.
I guess that's what drew me to the newer Boss LS. Black and sterling with subdued striping. Even the yellow I like. I like the current Competition Orange because I'm a big Oklahoma State fan. I can't rid myself of orange. The others just don't appeal to me for some reason. I never thought grabber blue would become as cool as it is and now I'm a fan but I still don't see myself in those colors.

Before my mustang I had a Sublime Daytona charger #143 o 1500 they're sick cars. The interior was really cool with the green tied in and all. Just wish they came with manual trannys. Might have never traded her in... plan on getting a challenger srt8 down the road while keeping the stang. Maybe by the time I'm ready they'll have one with a 426 in it =D

My only problem with Chargers and Challengers is the cheap interior.
This is embarassing.

True, but even my '94 Camry has a higher quality interior than most new Chryslers (at least those Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep cars before Fiat took over).

Love the new rear tail lamp treatment, hate the new C-pillar and rear quarter changes. The previous body style was broad-shouldered and tough looking (look at fastduo's pic of his 2007). This new one seems weaker looking to me...IMO.

Idk, I've kinda stopped caring about the interior. To me as long as the seats are comfortable and it doesn't have the same interior at a Hyundai accent I'm good with it. Go over show IMO...

but still hauls a** & beats a minivan any day

Hell yea. Dude I ran a newer srt8 a few days ago. Mother ****er holeshotted me from 80. He had like 5 cars on me within 2 seconds.

I drive a 2013 Dodge charger for work and its the model with the 370 HP. It's a quick car but feel my modded 11 v6 mustang pulls harder and can take it in the 1/4 mile. now this of course would be a stock 13 charger hemi. I don't know much about the srt8 model now,

I used to have a 07 Sublime Daytona R/T. Chargers are long legged. The highway is their natural habitat. Mustangs are more of a out of the hole car. Trust me, if you lined the two up from a 70 roll you'd ****. The srt8 has 465 on motor, I'm at about 380 on motor. The RT might have been a closer run but I still think it would have pulled on me. I was really blown away by that srt though. Literally like he left me from a light. It was nuts. ....... Are you a state trooper? Lol
Now in all fairness my 11 v6 is far from stock however its all bolt on mods and no F.I. I don't think my pony would destroy the 13 Charger , 370hp by any means but would take the win in a 1/4 mile race with my 3k in mods.

I'm a county cop. The 13 Charger pulls hard when doing 70 and you floor it but for some reason I think my 11 V6 seems to pull harder. Or at least it feels to pull harder. Now of course my 11 v6 is far from stock and guessing with my mods I'm around 350 to the crank. I have no idea what the stock standard gearing is in the 13 Charger with the Hemi engine. I have 3:73 gears in my pony,it seems to shoot off the line a bit harder and faster acceleration than the Charger I drive with 370 HP. Then the 11 plus mustangs really shine once they hit 4k rpm's and the car pulls great and feels quicker than the Charger. Of course with 3:73 gears and crusing at 70 mph I'm already around 2300 k rpm's .
