I've seen a 11 sec GTP.

This is the supercharged V6 one and its bone stock. Plus is FWD and the Subie is AWD.

It is no contest. Automatic winner.

The one car that really shocked me was the Dodge Caliber, but it's not what you're thinking. Sure it looks butt ugly, seems horribly underpowered, and I wouldn't want even my dead cat to be seen in it. The one thing that really irks me about it is that the bottom feeder of Dodge's line is offered with the R/T badge. Back in the day that was reserved for the really high end muscle cars. The best of the best. When you see that badge, you know it's something special. It saddens me and actually makes me a bit sick that Dodge have allowed their symbol of prestige to decay so tragically. It's another painful blow after the Charger name was also ruined by placing it on a four door sedan. I think it's a good car, just not deserving of the Charger name. I will give my left ear for them to not ruin the Challenger as well.

lol, but seriously the torque steer is really bad. They market it as the most powerful FWD available

I actually got to drive around in a Dodge Charger earlier this month while on vacation. It wasn't the R/T Hemi, just the HO V6, but it was a great car. I would actually consider buying one someday, with the V8 of course. I think it lives up to the name, even if it has a second set of doors.

I'd have to agree with you.

The Daytona name is another to me that should have been used sparingly but instead was sullied....at least Plymouth is no more so the 'Cuda name should forever be honored.

These come to mind:

Dodge Daytona IROC R/T...Three of these names shouldn't be on this car.


And this abomination:
Dodge Ram Daytona...what an insult to the original Charger Daytona/Superbird.
