I had a Charger RT before, wouldn't recommend it. It's just a boat. Weighs a ton and although even the RT has a HEMI and good power on paper, it doesn't translate well aside from sound because it weighs so much.

The SRT8 would be an improvement, but it weighs even more. When I got my 335i I was surprised by how powerful 300hp felt, it felt like the 335i was very efficient at getting the power down.

The Charger only comes in automatic as well FWIW. So for me I'd go with the 435i without a doubt.

SRT has everything in it, but it's just too big to drive or :hoon:.

on a road trip I'd choose the SRT all day, Its more comfy I believe

Depends on what you are looking for ... 435 has a better luxury/power balance

I think the Charger is pretty luxurious inside. And just wanting a change from my range rover.

435
Charger SRT
C7 Vette

Are the top 3 right now. All a couple years used as Ill never buy a new car again. This will also be my DD. I already have a jacked up truck as my show vehicle.

Charger is definetly a boat. 435 is nice, but a bit slow. C7 is an old man's car. Might want to broaden your search.

Lots of deals on scatpacks down here. I will be die hard hemi til i die. 2 of my buddys have scatpacks. Both run 11s with tune, tstat, and intake. Those cars come pretty loaded also. Unfortunately that parts are just as expensive as bmw. Personally i would choose the hemi but not for $7k more. Do not get a srt8! The scatpack has the same drivetrain and is much cheaper.

It's a Dodge. Usually found at the bottom of the list for J.D. Power's dependability study that looks at vehicle issues 3 years down the road.

Any one else have thoughts on this?

I'm strongly considering either an RT Plus or a Scat Pack and selling my 435i.

[sspade]

FCA products are junk. All of them.

[Tribalpinoy911]

Dodge will have more problems over the Bmw...if you care about that sort of thing

[ChrisFulton]

Sounds like you have already made up your mind.
Please sell your 435 & buy a Dodge.
I'd be embarrassed to be seen in one, but I live in the SF Bay Area; not Greenville.

I rented a stock charger and I realize this is not the RT or SRT8 version but holy shit that thing was a boat. Heavy, underpowered and total lack of refinement. To me these cars shouldn't even be cross-shopped as they're made for completely different people... straight line speed is pretty sweet I guess but it comes at a sacrifice... a properly tuned FBO 435i could hang with a charger RT. Would it win probably not but it'd be close

Have you posted the same question on a Charger site? I'm guessing they weren't any more complimentary about our beloved Bimmers than some here are about the Charger.

My last two Dodges were Vipers and those Dodges weren't under powered boats. As some have said, the 4 series and the Charger are very different cars. Spend some time in each, and buy the one that makes you smile. For enthusiasts there really isn't an objective answer to what is a subjective question. If you were looking for objectivity you'd be shopping a Camry against an Accord.

Egh I wouldn’t trust that. I honestlt think you can just pick up a bad apple from a tree I have a 2012 Charger as my project/show car that I got in 2013 and has had two problems with 76k miles. The alternator and 1 spark plug went out. Besides that not a problem. Compared to my friends 17’ camaro ss that has been at the dealer atleast 6 times this year alone. And this list said chevy had about half the ranking as dodge for one example alone. So take these suggestions from these sources with a grain of salt. My 2 cents.

[obert]

BMW all the way! For Me personally I don’t like the inside of the Dodges and since that is where we spend 100% of the time while driving I can’t see myself ever buying a SRT.

Just read all the comments. Seems to be a lot of hate for Mopar here 😅. I used to be strictly a Mopar guy when i got my first car my 12’ Charger but I’ve grown and taken a lot of appreciation for different brands. I currently have a 16’ FBO Fiesta ST as my daily. But really want a F30 335 6 speed to replace it. Just been waiting for a good deal both for my trade in and on the 335.
