2012 Dodge Charger SRT8

Ohhhhhhh man. Beast mode. This car is amazing. I love old muscle cars made new and its nice to see that Dodge is still making General Lee look awesome. The car itself looks like an animal that commands the throne of the jungle. And of course this is the SRT8 version of it, so it's like ten times as awesome. This bad boy has a 6.4 liter V8 with 470 hp and 470 ft-lb of torque. Holy Moley. That is a crap ton of power for stock. Plus its got new fuel saver technology so it has so much power and still gets great gas mileage. It gets 14 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. That's better than my dad's work truck with a small V6 in it. It amazing what the new technology can do these days. Sure you have to pay at first to get the car, but eventually it'll pay for itself with all the money you save on gas. And you still get to cruise around looking like the baddest guy in town. You also get to cruise around in luxury with the heated red leather and suede seats that have a race look to them. With all this power, how fast is it? Oh its fast. It goes 0-60 in less than five seconds, and tops out at 175 miles per hour. A quarter mile is less than 13 seconds. Which is awesome given that you have to give up nothing to get that much power. Still have have comfort, air conditioning, a nineteen speaker sound system in it, and a touchscreen display on the dash. It also has amazing handling thanks to the independent suspension for the front and the rear end suspension. It also has different modes to suit the kind of driving you feel like doing, either sport or auto. And if you get going to fast you don't have to worry because its got four wheel disc brakes from Brembo, and performance tires to go with that. The only thing that is bad about this car is the price. It does dig into your wallet a bit but I'd say that all this make up for it. Base price for this car is $47,425.
