^That's sexy.
I can't imagine shifting with my left hand... Anybody driven in a RHD car before?... and does that mean the pedals are reversed too?

mostly the charger...but that whole thing was just a marketing gadget. they could have just as easily called it the new intrepid. not every dodge person wanted to run out and buy a charger, and many real mopar enthusiasts didnt care for the charger based on what 'could have been'...but ive already seen the gm boys freaking out over this one...
im surprised that i havent had to endure rumors about the G8 "going to have a supercharged experimental engine and it will make 100,000 hp"...:D

it's pretty much a 4 door GTO but a step in the correct direction IMO, also it is going to have a L76 in it
