I had a bad car accident 10
I had a bad car accident 10 years ago. I need at least front wheel drive. A RWD Charger is not an option. For 10 years I drove a 96 Taurus SHO. For 3 grand, no car payment, and no collision insurance needed. I looked the new SHO. Couldn't even fit in it. I did buy a 2014. It literally looks brand new. Every possible option. Exactly the way I would have ordered it. At half the price of the original sticker of $40,370. Certified, with a 4 Year, 48,000 The Charger R/T doesn't need the 8 speed transmission. I'm addressing a different post. The V6 doesn't come close in torque. It needs the 8 speed. Especially with the added AWD weight. I have paddle shifters, Beats Audio, Nav, backup camera, Granite Crystal Metallic with full black leather, and the AWD appearance package. Not an inch of chrome on my Charger R/T. All black honeycomb grill. 19 dual 5 spoke rims, cross drilled rotors, huge red calipers with the gray R/T logo. The speed and handling are phenomenal. Plus a full size back seat, 4 doors, and a huge trunk. I'm into AWD performance sedans. But can't afford an AWD Hellcat even if they made one. A used AWD SXT V6 was about the same price. The 5.7 Hemi is more then anyone needs on the street. My choice was a 2015+ AWD V6, with the new front end, or the 2011-2014 style with a Hemi. Given the appearance package on my car, I'd take the Hemi any day. And I did. I only found this article because I couldn't understand why Dodge stopped making the perfect car after 2014. That's the worst excuse ever. And the last thing that I expected to find. There's A LOT of used ones available. RWD is NOT an option for MOST of the US. My neighbor has my exact colors. On a 2015+ SXT AWD. Bet they would have bought an R/T. Without the AWD, the Charger isn't an option for me. To say people that want AWD don't care about HP is ridiculous. MOST high end performance sedans have AWD. It is a 4Matic unit. Only engages the front axle on rear axle slippage. Mine is just the best value AWD performance sedan. At least it was until 2014.
