How much do you think a fully loaded 2006 Charger will be?

Im guessing with all the bells and whistles and the 6.1 HEMI around $40,000?

I'll have to agree.

I'll say $36,000 with sat/nav
...$29,000 with hemi/no options. (stirpped down)

I say the 2007 camaro (1967, 2007? oh yes please.) $28,000 w/ls2/t56.

(all guesses, take as you will, I'm drunk.)

No way! A fully loaded charger bette rnot be more then 30k. You can get a fully loaded magnum rt for 30k and it should be more expensive to make. Not to mention that its main competition will be the mustang gt and they want to keep it in that ball park. If they do make a new camaro, expect it to be in the same range.

Fully loaded Chrysler 300Cs are $37,000.

Chrysler seems like they tack $10,000 for SRT packages (save SRT-4). So I'm guseeing the upcoming 300SRT will be about $42,000 and the Charger 6.1 SRT will be in the neighborhood of $37,000.

Yes, there is a 300SRT coming. ;)

Not only is it coming but it will likely be here between Sept. and Dec.

Lemme guess....6.1L hemi?

A SRT 300 will cost mid to high 40's, very close to the CTS-V. There has got to be a bit more to the SRT then an engine.

SRT 300 (or maybe it will be called 300D ;) ) will probably go for low 40's....not high 40's.

It will have an upgraded powertrain, ( probably a 6.1...but there are still rumors circulating about a supercharged 5.7), upgraded suspension, brakes and wheels (20's) and interior and exterior cosmetics.

It will be quite a comprehensive package.

Oh....

and I don't see a loaded SRT 6.1 Charger going for more than $36K.

Not neccessarily. I've heard about a blown 5.7 as well as Z284ever.

It also seems the 6.1 V8 will ultimately be the replacement for the 5.7.

Since there probally wasn't any mention of a 6.0 LS2 when Chrysler began work on the 5.7 Hemi some years ago, it seems that Chrysler is intent on getting into a engine deathmatch GM.

To top that off, Ford's new upgraded "Hurricane" engine is in the works.

Yep. The horsepower race is on. :D

Whatever the case, it most certainly WON'T be selling for $40,000. :)



BTW, I think you guys ought to know this. Chrysler is intending that the Charger not only be relatively low cost (you should be able to get the base 6.1 Charger for under $30,000... no, I'm not smoking anything) but Chrysler intends this car to smoke former LS1 F-bodies (known as baseline performance targets), while the SRT version of the Charger is intended to at least match current Mustang Cobra performance.

It's very possible that a year or so from now, the Dodge Charger SRT will be the quickest accelerating car in the US with more than 2 seats. :eek:

No word yet on actual numbers. Just thought you'd like to know Chrysler's intentions on this thing.

20" wheels? :barf:

The truth is that the srt charger will compete with the Cobra and GTO. The RT will be the v8 that sells to regular guys.

Yup!

I've also heard reports that Dodge intends to make the SRT Charger perform at or above base Corvette levels.

Ditto!


Not bad for a sedan....er, 4 door coupe, huh? :)

4 door coupe = ghetto. And that's not a coupe!

Is there ANY word on a 2 door version? Even with a different name?

True. that the base 2006 Hemi Charger might start @ $30,000 but after seeing DC's clever marketing tactics with the PT convertible and the Crossfire by offering a single base model that can not have options added on and if you want any additional features you are forced into another model/package at a $3000-$4000 premium.

Also most dealers wont keep the base/strippy model in stock since it used more as a marketing tool then anything and if they do get a strippy in they will certainly add aftermarket wheels and extra stuff to bump up the price.

Of course Im not even considering dealer price gouging for the first 6-12 months so I think a real world price for a loaded HEMI Charger will be close to $40,000

Since the Charger SRT is suppose to be faster then the 12 sec SRT-10 Ram, yea I have seen stock ones go 12s, I wouldn't be suprised to see a SRT Charger go mid 12s with the 6.1.

The 300C goes 13.8s with 335, so add about another 100hp and lose some weight, hello 12.5s:eek:

There is definitely a lot of excitement at Chrysler. However, I have a bit of difficulty grasping models and pricing.

300C starts at $32,000 with 5.7L Hemi, and loaded around 37,000.

Then we have regular V8 Charger, and then we will also have SRT Charger. Am I correct? If that's the case, then SRT should be selling above 40,000. We are talking Corvette performance, and I do not see this thing being in mid 30's for the performance it will offer.

Keep this in mind, Dodge's Charger is aimed to be equivalent to 300c, ie 4 doors. and chryslers are usually costing more upgraded models... the Hemi charger will be under 30k, I would not be surprised to see it at around 27k loaded, still under magnum wagon. SRT should be around 37k.

GM WHO?

I don't think Chevy is gonna let a 4 Door by Dodge get anywhere near the performance of a Base Corvette. Remember this is GM Flagship. :bow:

Plenty have succeeded too.

'79 Trans Am
'87 Buick GN
'03/'04 Cobra

A mid 12 6.1 Charger will be close to the C6. Pretty insane huh?

I'm not talking about straight-line acceleration...I'm talking about speed/acceleration&handling for theprice/character/reputation. You know, the entire package.

"Double W" optioned '78, and '79 Trans Ams matched & could outgun Corvettes on the strip and the track.

1989 Turbo Trans Ams could at least match that year's Corvette on the track. The current supercharged Mustang Cobra is certainly capable of keeping up with base C5 Corvettes on the track. I'm not going to mention strip results for these 2 against the base C5 Corvette. ;)

Sorry to bump, but I thought it might be better than creating a new topic. Does anyone think the charger will get a manual option, or is it stuck with an auto like the 300c?

I just bought a 300c and lemme tell you, if that is any indication on the Charger...the new mustang should just go to the glue factory right now.

Aren't the chargers going to be AWD though? :mad:

This is pretty damned exciting, I must say. I hope^100 that Dodge goes really old school and brings back Impact colors. I want my Charger in SASSY GRASS GREEN!

Nah, I'm more of a Vitamin C kinda guy.

AWD is great, why do you think the 225hp WRX is running such quick 1/4mile times? But it can be a bummer if it's too delicate to handle the strip.

With all these new cars coming out from Chrysler, the new Mustang....and hey, maybe GM will give us a Camaro in 4 years. Kinda hard to be brand loyal when they decide to just plod along behind all of the other brands.

AWD is not for muscle cars.

AWD is not for muscle cars. Plain and simple. You cant do burnouts with awd :(

Yes you can...

i'm hearing that the charger will be a family car.
:confused:

Posted over in the lounge, but did anybody see the MT rumor that the SRT-8 is going to have 425HP? Seems about right for a HO version of a 6.1L Hemi. GM really should get a Holden sedan ready, make a nice addition to the Pontiac line-up. Hell, throw in a Chevy version as well and bring back a police package.

AWD burnouts are no problem....as long as you have no pity for your drivetrain.
