My wife REALLY loves the car. I now have to hide the keys in my safe so she doesnt steal it to drive to her job at the high school, where she already is known as "the cool lady with the Dodge Charger."
No need for her to upgrade her status when she is already at the top.

And I may be in the minority, and yours is sharp for sure, but the wide bodies are pretty killer looking too.

They do look cool (but not $15,000 cooler for the price bump to get a Jailbreak edition!) Plus all the grief that you have to go through with the rock chips on the fronts of the rear flares.
Owners seem to have an even worse time than the '70 to '81 Trans Am owners do with the rear flares getting sandblasted by the debris coming off the from tires. The current fix is to have the flares covered in the PPF film before the car ever sees the road.

The wide body (which I Love) reminds me of this, but much better executed!!

Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but I gotta say, that 1978 "super" coupe picture doesn't even belong in this thread. Gives me chills thinking of the dark days (1974 to somewhere in the 80s).

I like the stripe, subtle and works with the body lines.
These new Challenger/Chargers are prettty wild.

Probably the most not-used mode on the internal performance pages on the center dash monitor: ECO MODE. (Versus the TRACK, SPORT, AUTO, and CUSTOM modes.)
I am trying to put some miles on the car to get to the 500 mile mark to unlock all the restricted function(s) that may or may not be available on the Redeye til you hit that mileage mark. The line-lock is one that I can think of off the top of my head. I had a 90 mile round trip to do today so I put the car in Sport mode on the way out and Eco mode on the return trip back. Here's the incredible results: SPORT MODE: 23.3 MPG ECO MODE: 24.0 MPG An absolutely amazing solution to the entire gas crisis we are undergoing at the moment.

Only a .7 mpg difference for ECO ?? Sport Mode all the time and hammer down...

Regardless of what mode it is in, your right foot is the biggest variable when it comes to fuel economy.
I realize we are almost 40 years apart in technology, but my 1983 BMW 745i (factory turbocharged gray market car) only gets 24 mpg. I probably have close to 500 lb. ft. of torque (been modified a little) but because I limit my boost to 10 psi (kept breaking driveline parts at 15 psi) I doubt I have even 380 hp at the flywheel. Impressive for a 1983 car; today... not so much.
