Not sure I like the front end. I guess I'm biased towards my 07 Superbee. Why is the 6.4 rated 465/465, as opposed to 470/470 in the Challenger? That being said, overall, I like it, just need to tone done that grill a little.

I also have a Bee (very last one, #425/425/2009) and I like the NEW Charger nose, but agree the SRT-8 reminds me of a Whale-Shark. ! -I wonder if there will be a 2012 Bee?-

Mine is 2007 722/1000. Your ** 09 Bee is pretty rare, I've only ever seen one at Carlisle. Actually, even though there are supposedly 2425 (from 07-09) you never see 'em.
I like the new SRT8, I'm sure the front end will grow on me. Still wonder why they de-rated the 6.4 though.

You'll have to watch the replay,,,Ralph explains that.
Charger SRT is now a 170mph car, and now has paddle shifter on the steering wheel
Also, data display in the dash for 1/4 times, G-Force figures, etc.
New interior, with leather and seude from the Viper side. Raised hood for better cooling. Improved audio system! Improved braking system.
Challenger RT now available in Envy Green color.
Good to see a CEO wearing a t-shirt while giving a presentation, and walking/talking with his hands in his pockets at times. Made you feel like he is a average Joe, car guy, instead of a suit spewing the BS.
I really like that nose!!
Looks like it going to eat the opposition ...
That car is HOT!!!!

Yes, sounds like it's going to be a very nice beast!
I'm already impressed with the braking on mine, so this should be good. Interior improvements are nice, although my no-nonsense interior never bothered me, I know many did not like it.
Paddle shifting cool. I don't use my auto-stick much, but the gearing is a little funny. I hope they sell some, because the current gen just didn't sell that well.

Well done Ralph!
Thanks Doris for the link and info!
P.S. Thanks for the funeral of the R/T name being slapped on everything.

I wish they would have spent more time with the camera on the car and showing some of the things he described. 
The new Charger Door-coves are great, instead of the slab-sides. And I like the standard new noses a LOT. My 09 Bee does have the performance computer data graphics mid dash, a lot of fun to play with. The 1st time I tried it, I remarked 'DANG, should be in the Viper!' I hope that product tranlates to the Gen V Viper, where it could really be used and appreciated. {PS-Bee matches the ACR, Orange/Black duo.}

My 07 has most of those goodies in the EVIC as well, except G-force - that started in 08. I agree that it would be great to have in the Viper.
Have you had the infamous tranmission connector fluid leak? Mine just started - drip, drip, drip, at 14,000 miles. Probably because it's been so dang cold. One more thing I gotta get looked at - should be covered under the extended warranty.
As I said, I hope this new car is a hit, because I can go months without seeing another SRT8 Charger, and there are a zillion Chargers on the road around me.

Well, if for nothing else, I appreciate your humor. Hillarious!
If it were blue, it would be hard to tell the difference.

Sergio Marchionne did a live apperance on CNBC this morning. I have a group of friends who were all born in Rome, then immigrated to Canada, then finally ended up inthe USA so I am not sure why I was so taken by the fact he has only an imperceptable Italian accent (he went to shool in Canada), but he talks a good talk. They were asking him about all the positive press about the superbowl ad and he said "marketing is nothing without product." He said Chrysler can had the greatest ads ever, but without great cars to sell it means nothings. Yes he is a salesman, but he talks the talk. I still want to see a Fiat 500 in person.
