5800 lbs 206.5 inches long. 11.2 1/4 mile. Great goes 0 to 60 in 3.3. Take that land yacht in the twisties. Who is jumping ship? No one!

Jesus, the weight increase. They didn't even try. We give Ford a hard time for a mustang GT weighing 3,800-3,900 lbs, but this thing is almost a thousand lbs heavier.

Keep in mind, the main benefit of EVs is straight line acceleration. This thing at lower speeds isn't that much faster than a 10 speed 5.0 and it's gonna get it's ass handed to it by the mustang in the corners. Dodge is cooked bro, this is it, game over. Nothing they make is selling anymore, that will be compounded by this trend.

Edit: I said almost a thousand lbs heavier, I meant two thousand lbs please forgive me. I wrote that after having gone through 2 all nighters in 3 days, a funeral service, and 4 flights in 3 days as well. So I was mentally and physically drained when I wrote that.

I like the front and back of the new Charger, but the side profile just doesn't look right at all. The four door looks a little better proportion wise, I think. Hopefully the Sixpack cuts down the weight by a sizable amount?

With that weight I wonder if they come in black with red accents?

I seen it in person and it’s pretty big. Lol


Granted the Charger never competed with the Stang anyways.

You are going to get a mustang or you wouldn't be here. Lol kudos to you for shopping around. Started life driving a Mopar. Went Chevy z28 1970 till 1988 world IROC. Then went Mustang best bang for the buck. Only car that I enjoyed more was my e39 M5. Had a few 4 banger boosted cars they were fun but these are a different. Good luck in your search.

I'm about to take hard bets! No matter that the EU or the US power-that-be mandate, electric vehicles will never become main stream! After all, the US went through the same scenario back in the 1920s. Sure, the Baker electric plowed ground, but by the late 20s, they were holding on by the skin of their teeth.

We can discuss hydrogen, natural gas, and a few more alternatives, but the truth is, the world will still be using fossil fuels well into the 2050s. Fact is, if the truth be known, Elon Musk has already designed an ICE version of their model 3! Long live dead dinosaurs.

Goes zero to 60 in 3.3, who knows what happens next? Throw out the anchor

Not sure how they can dig themselves out of this hole. The car is marketed to nearly no one. Muscle car enthusiasts aren't gonna wanna touch it. EV enthusiasts would rather spend the 60-70k this thing costs on another probably better EV with more range. The only people this car is gonna attract are extremely well off people who need every new shiny car, but those people are not enough to keep the market that the previous Charger commanded. Seems like a DOA car
