I just wanted to say goodbye and thanks for all the useful information. I traded my RX-8 for a Dodge Charger RT. I can't say I am overjoyed but a growing family necessitated the change. 2 rambunctious boys wedged in the back seats became more then I could handle especially as I am 6"4'.

I really liked the 8 - most of all the handling. The lack of low end did become a little annoying but that was compensated by the free revving engine.

As an aside I am selling my winter tire package in the Parts for Sale forum as well as on ebay in case any of you are interested.

Take care.

I'm not a big fan of the Charger looks but know a lot of other who love it. Regardless they're pretty fun to just mash the gas pedal in I hope you enjoy the new ride and don't regret having to trade the RX-8 in too much.

Did you get the R/T or Daytona Package? Either is a must in my mind for the seats and suspension.

enjoy your new ride and dont miss the 8 too much. Theres nothing like the feeling of a big V8 under the hood

Good luck with the new Charger. Enjoy

I hope the best and enjoy the new car, sure your going to miss the looks, handling, and fun to drive factor the most but a nice V8 will soften the blow.

What really bothers me about the Dodge is they FORCE you into a automatic, that's why I would never get it but it does look nice compared to the run of the mill family sadan.

Take care...

The charger is definitely a more 'boring' car. Even with 340hp it can seem a little sluggish being 4000lb but I have to say I am amazed at how far american car makers have come. It isn't a BMW but build and ride quality are excellent.

I was forced to trade by my 2 year old son learning how much fun it is to kick daddy in the back when sitting in the rear. The more I yelped in pain the more he enjoyed doing it.

I hope at some point to get some kind of convertible to supplement the dodge.

And by the way I just got a plain old R/T - no packages and no daytona. I know shame on me

Hey I noticed Mkaresh responding.I rely on your eopinion reviews. They really are excellent. I knew you recommended the Road and Track package and it almost made me cancel my original order. The dodge was an impulse buy and I didnt do much research upfront before buying. Then I read your review and considered changing my order but I was too lazy!

I promise I won't neglect your recommedations in future.

Hard 8

May I ask: How much did you get for the 8? How many miles did it have and what package was it?

Good luck with your new car dude.

great choice. I have a love hate relationship with the charger. I love the ones rolling on 20's with the subtle body kit (maybe rt?) and i hate the boring looking ones. GO figure.
