    Thread: Thank You All

    Threaded View

    1. Thank You All

      Hello,

      Just wish to thank everybody here thats tried to help me work out what I can do with my charger.

      Ive decided that im not keeping it. Im going to sell the car and get a Ferrari F355 Berlinetta.

      Reason I say that is because I was privaleged to sit inside one and go for a ride.

      1: Its a lot more quiet when you cruise than the dodge (im sick of the loud noise when your just wanting a peacefull cruise)

      2: It handles by far better

      3: It feels race like sitting inside it, unlike the dodge (due to the nature of the cars design, very low, etc)

      4: with 375 BHP and 285 ft/lbs of torque the car goes harder than a Charger with a 426 Hemi at 420hp and 490 ft/lbs of torque. Probbably because its a much 'lighter' car.



      5: Its a very light car which I also love about it (trying to work out how to make dodge 3000lbs is impossible if u want to keep original body) ferrari = 2900lbs as is.

      6: Will be much better for business.

      7: I can get Right Hand drive F355 (I personaly prefer RHD cars for where I live in Australia)

      8: It sounds absolutelly stunning up past 5000rpm. I mean that thing growls SOOOOOO Nice its amazing. So its quiet when it needs to be (cruising) and sounds race like when it needs to be (foot to the floor)

      8: Its just a better car overall.


      Even if I was to make a charger ride on rails, it wouldnt feel race like sitting inside it like the ferrari... its just not designed that way.

      This way I get a car that needs no modification, goes hard, corners hard, nice and quiet, sounds awesome when neccessary and retains its value as is rather than blowing 100 000 on a muscle car that if i dont like, il lose 100 000 on it.

      So thanks everyone for all the help/advice etc... this way I dont have to stuff around with the whole "Big vs small block" issue in terms of handling, I dont have to worry about 15 or 17 or 18" brakes on the charger etc etc.

      Just buy the 355and it does eveyrthing it needs to designed the way it is. No need to think about what to do... just buy and drive.

      Will take 6 months before I get it... but hell, I cant wait to take this to the track!

      Ultimatelly I believe looks wise I like the Diablos best, but in ferraris the 355 is my most fav looking one, Funny thing is both the diablo and f355 are 1996-99 model cars. After that they lost their look.

      I could also mill the ferrari engine a little etc to get the horsepower up to 500. A car that light with 500hp would be scary fast... so its just awesom. As much as I loved the charger I have simply noticed compare to that, that they are 'old' cars and can not compare to Exotics, technology wise etc.

      So thanks everyone, if it wasnt for everything been said etc I probbably never woulda known what to do.
