I think it does justice to the classic Chargers. It
looks pretty good and has strong performance. We seem
to forget just how humble the Charger was twenty years
ago! Hey,nothing else screams "muscle" more than a
normally-aspirated 2.2! :) I was disappointed when
the `99 Charger concept car didn`t see production.
Awesome car!! But even though it was great and should
have been produced,it still wasn`t a Charger. The
current Charger is a better representation of the
original "muscle car" than the `99 concept,which was
actually a sports car!
What Dodge (or Chrysler) should do is produce a new
sports car,and it should be called the Challenger or
the Barracuda. It shouldn`t have any "grocery-getter"
properties. A car like the `99 concept Charger,THAT
car should have the name of an E-body. Cuda,as it
were. :) Steve P.

Two-thousand one (2001) Flame Red Dodge Dakota Sport RC 4X4,4.7L eight-piston w/3.92 limited-slip,air,cruise,tilt,knob(not shifter)induced four by,with optional hand crank windows and finger locks that added substantially to the overall cost. Steigerperformance air intake providing twenty additional RWHP (ten at the flywheel). PLUS,a custom dual-exhaust than is real loud,with gigantic 2 1/4" pipes sticking out the back,reminiscent of warship cannons primed and ready for the heat of battle. The other mods (headlight and taillight covers and black step bars) do not add significantly to the speed of this vehicle,but are there purely for intimidation purposes,as the markings of a cobra signify it`s deadly potency. Put simply,this truck cannot be stopped.
