2012 Dodge Evo GT-R, uh I mean, Charger SRT8

Anyone seen this thing? It has the profile of a 4-door GT-R and the nose of an Evo X, with 465hp and 465tq @ 2,900rpm. Pretty sick. Too bad it's mated to a 5-speed auto. Paddle shifters do not a good DCT make! American auto manufacturers are really dragging their asses when it comes to transmissions...

Overall i like the car. Love the back end. Thought the same thing about the front end being similar to the X. I like the RT front end better than the SRT front end.

Scale it back to 85% size and offer it with a transmission that isn't a pile of dog**** and I'd consider driving one.

I think you meant the Galant EVO-GT-R....

That thing is the biggest heap I've seen come out of Detroit since they started turning things around... Now I'm second guessing them.
