Dad's new toy: 2012 Charger SRT8
Taking a page from my book and going with a sedan, my dad just got a Charger. He traded a 2009 SRT8 Challenger 6-sp manual for it. I drove it briefly and didn't do much as it only had 50 miles. The interior is excellent and up to par on a car now costing 50K. Performance/driving dynamic is not world's apart from my car, as I didn't think it would be. Exterior looks are subjective and I'm more a fan of what I own. I do think I'm going to check out the SRT8 300 after the winter. Some pic's below...

Nice ride! Congrats to Dad on the new whip! I was checking out the SRT8 charger, the 300 and Jeep @ the SEMA show this week and they look good. Interiors are very nice. Dig the carbon fiber trim they are putting in.

I agree with you. I even changed the wheels on the 2009 from the stock Alcoa to black/red stripe of the previous SRT style on my 2007. I think SRT has missed the boat on rims for several years now and NOTHING affects the appearance of a car more:

I think the new one looks better everywhere except the wheels. Just paint the stockers black with a red stripe like yours and your dads car will look even better. I love how he chose the red leather too. That interior is BEAUTIFULL. Its a shame they missed the boat and dont offer a manual transmission though. They should also offer a manual on the R/T IMO.

I agree and there's plenty of time. Since the Challenger was mated with a 6-M, it shouldn't be too hard. I'd be surprised if the 5-A is the only transmission that exists through this model run.
