(and it is a piece of **** if you have ever been inside one)

Have you ever been inside one? The Challenger's workmanship is actually pretty good.

Whoops - nevermind... I misread the title of the post. You're right - Chargers are pieces of crap.

they still use hard plastic.. it is better than the Charger hands down, but even the Challenger leaves alot of room for improvement.

Re: Run-in with a Charger SRT-8

I did see my first Challenger (the coupe) on the weekend on 17th since we are all about Chrysler products in here.

I did try to have a little rumble with a late 60s Mustang that was very rumbly and chirping his tires at every light, but he was not too interested, or perhaps a little afraid and I was not driving the Smart

Re: Run-in with a Charger SRT-8

haha well im glad you cleared that up for me.. i was so dissapointed. and the slush box comment was solely meant for the charger. i have driver a 300c srt-8 and the transmission is absolute garbage. i have also driven a stage 2 Tip, and i found it to be a great tranny (would still rather have the 6). i think i need to take a rip in a full 3+, i have only been in Cyrille's 3-. im also glad you took no offense!!

EDIT: i have read numerous threadz on audizine about the weight of the B5 A4/S4 and the arguments never come to a general agreement... i figured they were around 3500, did not realize they were closer to 3700 although somehow i find that hard to believe

You know Cyrille? I took him for a ride in my car and it blew his mind coming from his 3-...haha
My car is a 2000 (a few hundred lbs lighter than the '01 and up cars) S4 with a 6sp (lighter than the tip) and here's what the scale read with me in the car (I'm 165lbs) and no spare tire in the trunk (it's a full size spare, probably close to 35-50lbs) - 3762lbs

you sir are driving a fat girl(not that mine is much skinnier), and yes i know Cyrille very well. he is a good family friend and was my next door neighbour in Elbowvalley. I was around when he was doin the turbos by himself. the car is beautifully maintained. i would buy it in a heartbeat if he ever went to sell.

Re: Run-in with a Charger SRT-8

hmmm, then you should buy my car. It's also beautifully maintained and quite a lot faster.

The front end of the Charger is mean looking. The back end is blah. The thing barely fit in my garage (I had stuff at the back of the garage). Inside it's boring but some people like em.

Re: Run-in with a Charger SRT-8

So I had my first run-in with a high-horsepower domestic yesterday. First off, I will say that I am one of the few that actually like these cars. Secondly, nothing beats the sound of a 425hp V8 at redline. I was actually a little shocked at how fast it was...of course, I didn't know what was happening until he was almost a full car length ahead but oh well lol. It was pretty even up until about 120 and then the big V8 ran out of steam and my little 6-cylinder kept on truckin'. I was pleasantly surprised that the guy wasn't a douchebag either, gave each other the thumbs up and were on our way. I had the little lady with me, and she wasn't overly impressed with the shinanigans...but she had a fairly noticable grin on her face at 180 haha!

Moral of the story...Stage 3 isn't slow

Was it black, fairly dark tint all around and Hid headlights? If so I know the guy.

Re: Run-in with a Charger SRT-8

I didn't know the S4 was that heavy - still sexy cars though!

I'm the lightweight in at 3000lbs....
