Charger vs Darkhorse vs Redeye

[Geerhed]

Th

2 door 850/900 hp Charger.....that gets my attention..(maybe 1 more Mopar before I die)

That may be the same for me as to how I feel.... Not getting any younger, but I like the looks of new Charger if it is not crazy priced far above the Hell cats of 2023. I still think MOPAR done the many loyal customers wrong with the LAST CALL and JAIL BREAK prices going through the roof and now their coming back. I won't pay their crazy jacked up prices if it is the continuation of last call prices.The new Mustang is coming back after four years of being discontinued with rumor of 850 to 900 HP. They have not confirmed maybe not a Shelby but the Predator 5.2 is coming back with price ranges around 80 with trim level below the GTD.

I too think the new Charger looks pretty good, not as cool as the outgoing Challenger or Charger widebody but it's all we got! I wouldn't get your hopes up on pricing though, the ones we want will still probably up around $100k! I also agree that it is an absolute tragedy how Dodge messes with peoples emotions on the final editions, sad people fell for that or maybe more sad they trusted a car manufacturer to actually have some integrity. As far as the new Mustangs, Dark Horses with the non-supercharged 5.0 are around $70k, so there is no way they will only be $80 with the supercharger, get ready for more $100k pricing!

I think you're right..... I just bought the 2025 Limited edition 60th Anniversary Mustang that has the same amenities and HP with the 345 Rear gear the Dark Horse, but wheels are a little different and I have the BO sound system as well I got for 62. The dealer told me the new Mustang with the supercharged Predator motor that's been gone for four years is coming back this year and will be aimed at the price range to compete with the New Hellcats. So you probably on Q depending on what all one will want over the base price of both. I just hope MOPAR does not pull on the loyal customers what it did to them on the last call BS. My 2021 WBHC I ordered with some fewer features and amen dies was 68. The Red-eye was priced to me at 79 in 2021. Have wished I ordered the Red-Eye, but I just did not to add the 11 more to it at the time.

MY MUSTANG MAY BE THE SLOWEST BUT ITS JUST A PREMIUM GT NOT A DARK HORSE THAT ONLY GIVES YOU 15 MORE PONYS FOR 20,000 MORE

AND THE INTERIOR IS VERY NICE AS WELL AS THE 4 EXHAUST AND 5 DIFFERNT STREET MODES

For the money, Mustangs have been a great performance value for over 50y!

What tires do u have on it now..... Buddy has a 170 and he spun really bad with stock tires even from a roll. Things badass tho it's all black. He put the MT Bracket Radials and it was a night and day difference..... literally! Things flipping fast AF with a good tire I was shocked!

We raced from a roll he thought it would be closer. Cant wait for him to mod that thing so we can get a re-race on video bet it would be close.....er. That was with the Whipple 3.8 I no longer have that setup going Single HPT Dual Entry Turbo with Titanium compressor wheel.

I wouldn't have a new Charger, just too big IMO plus it was designed as an EV first and foremost. It does sound like crap.

I don't think doing it at a drag strip would fit the audience though. Very few of these reviews do drag strip stuff, it's just not popular enough and no one would understand it anyway.

Shoulda put some decent tires on the Redeye though.

Surprisingly the 170 hooks up just fine on the street. No idea how or why but it does. At first I thought maybe I'd learned to drive these things enough that it was me, but I've gotten after it a lot harder than I would expect to hook up and it still does so they for sure changed the TC programming in the 170.

Michelin P4S suv tires. Mine didnt seem to spin on stock tires either. If it did I couldn't really feel it at least.
