If you are looking for Hemi/flashy,then yeah go with the 300 C.If not then the Charger it is. For example:If i were looking to buy a nice LT1 B-body with no to less “flash” then i’d get a Caprice or Impala SS.If i wanted flash with softer suspention,less gearing,ect…i’d go with a Buick Roadmaster. ---

T into the line that goes over the valve cover for the fuel, full throttle switch under the gas pedal (drive by wire) and put the fogger in the intake and some wiring and in 45 min, light the tires lol. one of my buddies GF took the vid lol. i was in the passenger seat.

So with a 125 shot you managed a 13 second pass? My vote is for the LGT. Voltron is in the family tree after all. ---

you dont realize how hard it is to get that car out of the hole on the stock crap tires or how hot it was that day or how many people we had in the car. if we could have given it anywhere near full throttle in 1st it would have easily been in the 12’s. it ran low 13’s all day long with 4 to 5 guys in the car trying to get out of the heat. it only got a little quicker for the last few pulls cause the bottle was really low when most of the people were out of the car. it ran a 13.2 then and then the bottle ran out. the car pulled like a train… a very comfortable train… the charger r/t daytona package to compare, runs low 14’s stock and high 13’s with a k/n drop in and a lower t-stat with a newbie driver. it has a different engine controller for a few more HP. must be a bit lighter too. that car with a shot would be pretty good. ill have to look on some other boards to see how they are doing.

yeah they are pretty bad. quite a few of us were driving the car too. i got the best 60ft out of it and it was only a 2.09 or something like that and i still couldnt get on it. that video i posted… that was at like 2am or something like that. by 5am the tires were corded. he bought new ones that next morning and they were still crappy tires. the rental company didnt say anything even though the front and rear tire brands were different. 🙂 now i will admit that the legacy gt is a nice car but id be tempted to take it over the C for mileage reasons but i love the way the C looks. what trans does the LGT get? i thought only the spec b or b spec got the STi box and can we even get that over here?

I LOVE my Legacy GT, had it since june. Great car still fun to drive and even more fun to ask “that thing got a hemi”? as you pass by. I got my legacy brand new for less than a WRX so if you look around and do the right research you can find good ass deals. oh and the resale value of a subaru vs a dodge is HUGE when compared. just sitting waiting for the acessport to be released sucks… arg. ---
