Uh, no way to mistake a Viper for a Stratus period, unless it was night
and they weren't using lights and were 3 miles away. It DOES have a
presence like nothing short of a Lambo......
Second, are you thinking of the right car? A Charger was a 5 passenger,
4000lb behemoth of a car. The car YOU keep describing sounds like the
pony car Challenger to me? Is that what you're thinking of? Because
aside from a door or two, this new Charger is an EXACT reiteration of
the old Charger, but not even close to a Challenger pony car.....

I did't mistake the Viper for a Stratus on a showroom floor or sitting
at a
light, it was about a 1/4 mile view as we were heading opposite
directions
on a divided highway. It was black (which would obscure the grill and
scoop, and too far away for me(no glasses on) to see if it had
projectors.
But I think they are very similar, and no where near a Cobra Stang.
BTW-top
was up.
My big problem with the new SRT Viper was it's not a stunner like the
old
one. The old vipers had a presence. So easy to spot, the new ones are
different and a lot more generic, they resemble the new vettes, S2K and
RX8
in various aspects. I just think they totally killed the car in that
way,
the performance is 2nd to none compared to the old RTs and GTSs from
everything I heard.
I agree with the comment that the Charger may not be a bad car, but to
badge
it as a car that would be the last one in the old line-up to be matched
up.
They do need a pony car, a Stratus type car with RWD, a stick and the
Hemi
would be a true charger as close as you could get today.
