But that 2012 Charger SRT8 is very close.

Nope, even the SRT chargers are only offered in auto, same with the 300.

I too prefer the charger's styling over the Challenger. If the Charger had 2 doors it would be perfect, but that's just my opinion.

All the county and state cops around here have the newer style chargers and they look pretty bad ass and aggressive.

True, but the hemi's run faster with an auto.

I have driven literally 1000's of 09-13 chargers and challengers and IMO even though the srt8 charger has amazing power, it seems to be more luxery than muscle.

4 door cars are not part of the muscle car/ pony car world. Period.

How in the world does Challenger not "fit as well" as a Charger????
I'm sure theres more than this one example, but what say you about the 1969 Chevy Nova 4 Dr? 0_o

Whoop! There it is. A 4-door "family car" doesn't belong in the group. Camaro/Challenger/Mustang (in that order) are deserving of being in today's "American muscle car" line up. None other.

The Challenger is a 2-door Charger. I'm pretty sure the Challenger and Charger share the same chassis........same with the Chrysler 300.

yeah... who doesn't? The latest Chargers really are something of a insult to the 60s-70s versions.

I think they are going back to what the 60s Dart started out as (an economical way to transport up to four people), rather than what it ended up being (a smaller light-weight relatively inexpensive muscle car).
