I think its just the lack of bodywork but it is nasty on a classic.

Sorry Charlie, but I think you'e looking thru biased eyes......that or haven't spent much time around black cars under fluorescent lighting....(I've done plenty of this....it's the harshest environment ot critic paint under...especially with all the steel structure reflecting in the paint)

Nothing wrong with the black Charger other than the rear wheel offset.....nothing.

The orange car is a step in the right direction, but al I see is a shiney turd.....

I don't particularly give a crap about the number of doors. I'd want to see a 6-speed before they started messing with the doors. Then the Charger would be

Right now....at this very moment....as I type this post....sitting in my garage...are TWO black cars with 5 banks of fluorescent lights over them. So Doug, my good buddy, I've spent many an hour staring at black cars under fluorescent lights. And that black Charger looks like a bondo bucket to me. Wave to it, it'll wave back.

Now IF the poster had used this car...http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/vbg...o=view&id=2703

Well, now we're talkin'.

The Charger is the most evil looking car on the street today. I love it. The srt8 version looks even more sinister!! Black with limo tint all around............

Re: 2 door Charger at SEMA. Ok, everyone happy now?

The problem with the Charger is not that it has four doors, it's that it looks like a brick. If they'd-a built THIS, I would've been in the market.


A two-door version of the Checker Cab Charger wouldn't do anything for me.

I pretty much don't care for two-door versions of four-door cars anyway.

Some more details.

It was done by West Coast Customs. It was shortened by 8", the doors were lengthened by 8" and the roof was lowered.
