Am I the only one that prefers the Charger Hellcat over the Challenger?

Nope, I'd take the four door.

No.

I'd take either one.

Hell I'll take any car with "hell" in it's name.

Nope. I think in a sedan, its much more astonishing/sleeper. Just paint it black, and forget the gold wheels.

No, I'd also rather have my big fat american death machine be slightly practical. Not like the charger is that much bigger than the challenger...

This will look ace in black.

Yes you manual transmission hater.

I prefer it in every way, except for the lack of that third pedal. It's completely inexcusable.

Isn't the Charger also slightly narrower?

If it wasn't for the Hellcat hood on the Charger I might like it more, I don't like the hood and front air dam. I know that they are necessary for the massive engine but I'm just not a fan. It's still awesome though.

Nope, I do too.

I've never been a huge Charger fan myself.

no idea, not on Wikipedia and I'm too lazy to look further. I know they look pretty similar in person

Yes!

CRider > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager 09/18/2014 at 21:52

In what way? The Challenger is lighter, smaller, cheaper and comes with a manual. The back seat is even big enough for adults to sit in relative comfort. You're just less likely to pass as a cop.

4 doors' more hoes

CRider > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager 09/18/2014 at 21:53

It's slightly narrower but it's also longer, taller and heavier. And no manual.

Hell no. I'll take the Charger. Blast through the desert with four people in comfort.

I don't know. In this case, the sedan just appeals more to me.

This over the Challenger. Always.

I don't like picking favorites that much, so I'd take both.

Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire 09/18/2014 at 21:56

The only downside I see.

Charger? I thought Oppo agreed to start calling it the "Polara" in an attempt to ignore the fact that it's a Charger with two more doors than a Charger has any right having >_______<

Vicente Esteve > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager 09/18/2014 at 22:00

Im surprised that the press shots were of a white Charger. What the hell they think it is? A marshmallow?

Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager > ptak appreciates old racecars 09/18/2014 at 22:01

Polara Hellcat sounds nice.

doodon2whls > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager 09/18/2014 at 22:01

Nope. I prefer the Charger styling over the Challenger, but the Charger is only available with an autotragic transmission.

Apparently, the 8spd trans calibration is so good that we shouldn't even worry about that.

CRider > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager 09/18/2014 at 22:01

The Charger appeals to me too, and it's definitely the better real world choice. But when I want a muscle car, I want one that screams Fuck You to everyone else on the road. The Charger can't do that with the kids in the back. Maybe I'm just pissed that it still doesn't have a manual. Chevy caved and gave the SS a stick after one year, so we know there is demand for it.

Goddamn. I hadn't really paid much attention to it until now.

Nope, you're not alone.

The ZF box is supposed to be amazing so it's not all bad.

It looks fantastic.

Yes, because I still hate this line right here. >:O

I actually kinda like it.

To me, it always made the car look like it was bottoming out or otherwise sagging in the middle.

I would take the Charger.

Kanaric > CRider 09/18/2014 at 22:27

neither have a manual in hellcat form as far as i know

CRider > Kanaric 09/18/2014 at 22:28

The Challenger comes with the 8 speed auto or a revised Viper 6 speed manual.

The Charger SRT8 is awesome IMO. It's like an American E63.

Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager > Kanaric 09/18/2014 at 22:28

If you configure a Challenger Hellcat on the SRT site, it gives you the option between a six speed manual and the eight speed automatic.

It would feel great having both in the garage.

What a pleasant surprise

I prefer the Charger for the simple fact that you could a black or white one, throw a small pushbar with a couple of led foglights mounted on it on the front, and most people will get out of your way on the interstate.

No, I'd rather have this. I like both, but I want the sedan more I think. I mean, I would't necessarily buy either but if I had to choose...Charger. In dark purple. Or this white.

The ZF 8 speed is one of the great creations of human kind, you won't miss the manual. It fires off shifts exactly when you command it to, and insanely fast.

4DR > 2DR. Also I used to have a Challenger and the visibility is total shit. The charger is way easier to drive because the windows aren't just there for decoration.

So many times with the challenger did I back out of a parking spot and was literally gambling with the life of the car. "I sure hope there is no cars coming 'cause I can't see shit!"

Imirrelephant > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager 09/19/2014 at 09:34

Nope. You are not alone.

I would take the Charger. The Challenger is a bloated memory of past glory, like Val Kilmer at a "Top Gun" cast reunion. While I still think the current Charger usurpts a glorious name of the past on a sedan, the car itself is bad ass.

It's more practical yet still batshit crazy. That's why I love it.
