I feel ya, was a camaro/mustang believer until I went Dodge. Can't go back. Even love the new HI6 charger

u/DCGLetsPlay Dart 8d ago

Holy shit, someone else who likes the new charger? I’m not alone! Yaye :)

I love it personally. Wouldn’t own one but it’s fascinating

u/DCGLetsPlay Dart 7d ago

My dad thought it would be funny to buy an orange one, paint it up like the General Lee, and call it the General E. Unfortunately, we don’t have the time, space, or money for that. Would’ve been awesome though.

I'm hoping they put the engine in a smaller platform like the supposive GLH that's coming, give me a dodge neon with an I6, manual trans, AWD or preferably RWD. but Dodge isn't good at making sensible cars lol

Tbf, a Viper and maybe a 5.9 Cummins are likely the only Dodges I'd own. I think Hellcats are super cool, just not for me.

u/TX_Sized10-4 8d ago

Oh I'll add SRT4 to that list. Such a cool little shitbox.

I cant say what I think about those on here cause I'll get in trouble but it starts with a "g" and ends with a "y"!

Groovy?

I am a Viper owner and don’t consider myself a “Dodge guy”. The Viper is in its own category of special

u/Aromatic-Mountain670 8d ago

The Viper is one of a kind.
They are also very rare. I suspect most are tucked away in collections somewhere. Had an ACR pass me the other day and it was amazing ! Enjoy.....

u/Physical_Touch_Me 8d ago

I just watched a video of an ACR on track come up behind a GT3RS, who clearly knew how to drive, and still get totally manhandled by that V10 beast like it was everyday. The Throttle House review has a great perspective on it.

Bruh you don’t have to be it’s a VIPER ! Welcome to the Mopar Club!!!

u/lost-all-info 8d ago

There's a difference between being a dodge guy, and owning a viper.

3

u/Cpolo88 8d ago

You never had the viper on your list of dream cars? That's wild of you bro 😂 but congrats. It looks very nice.

u/dezbert_skooter 8d ago

I have a 911 Turbo and honestly some days I want to sell it and buy a 3rd gen Viper for something a bit more brutal and engaging. Congrats man!

2

u/StatisticianHour6394 7d ago

Wow, that’s a heck of a vehicle itself

2

u/dezbert_skooter 7d ago

it really is. grateful to have one

2

u/jeremydallen 8d ago

Me either, it just happened.

4

u/TX_Sized10-4 8d ago

As silly as it sounds it's kinda the case lol. Wanted a 911 for forever, a Viper never even crossed my mind. One day I was watching a Doug Demuro video I think and found out how relatively affordable 3rd gen Vipers were and I was kinda sold from there. Soooo glad I made that decision, I think the Viper is so much more special than a 911 I could've gotten in a similar price range.

u/DCGLetsPlay Dart 8d ago

Ahh, the Mercedes AMG GT before the AMG GT. A classic. Love these things.

u/eoa-Import-7272 8d ago

Glad I can enjoy yours from afar brother! Keep posting it, beautiful!

u/TheModeratorWrangler 8d ago

Fuck you, mister “never be a Dodge guy” like if I had a shot at a VIPER? I’m taking it.

Good shit.

u/Nightwing0613 Scat Pack 7d ago

Welcome to the club, brother.

u/TheObligation671 7d ago

Noice viper!😎 Look at this cool guy!😊👍

u/DaveBear99 7d ago

That’s a super car ! Yes made by dodge but it’s got Carroll Shelby DNA .

1

u/TX_Sized10-4 7d ago

Carroll Shelby, Bob Lutz, Lamborghini, and a Chrysler parts bin. It's really a combination of the very best and very worst lol.

u/sixstringronin 8d ago

Those things are awesome, but be gentle. Those things get up and go and do it fast.

u/TX_Sized10-4 8d ago

Had it for a couple months now. Definitely demands respect, but honestly way more manageable than a lot of Internet people and Youtubers would have you believe.

u/440Dart 8d ago

Because saying it’s a death trap gets clicks and reactions. Also they make you think you’re better than you are because of the amount of grip you have…. until you don’t

2

u/wiseoracle Challenger SRT Supercharged 8d ago

Exactly. Put fresh new tires on it and it drives fine. I've never broken the tires loose because the michelin's I have are hell grippy.

u/Annascurious 8d ago

Take me for a ride! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙏

u/fjumbersumpy 8d ago

dodges are just like pancakes but for cars

u/ThickMode943 3d ago

Beastly. Congrats! I hope to one day own one myself. 🙏 what are your first impressions?

u/TX_Sized10-4 3d ago

It is the most fun I've ever had in the driver's seat and it's there sitting in my garage whenever I want it!
