This all new Dodge Charger SRT8 is all about being itself

The Stig tries out the new Charger SRT8


Impressed that this car was part of Forza Motorsport 4's November Speed Pack DLC, the all new 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is one angry monster that you don't want to see this landing on the Playground modes, especially the Tag Infection, Keep The It, or Cat & Mouse. When I get inside the all new Charger SRT8, this car is freaking mental in the corners and it turns out that this car is too difficult to handle, even with the Traction Control off. It's hard to master the new Charger SRT8 but with practice, I'm sure that this is a brute force to be reckoned with.

A pure embodiment of evil

I like the sound of the new 6.4L HEMI V8. It kinda like...the stuff of nightmare. A very embodiment of evil... Despite looking like a muscle car, this car loves corners but it gets a bit carried away. In partial terms of tuning, there are some surprises awaiting at the Aero & Appearance section...

Disguised as a regular Charger

For example, you can disguise this as a regular Dodge Charger by putting up some Dodge Street Front Bumper ,Dodge Street Rear Bumper, Dodge Street Side Skirts, and a Dodge Street Hood. This disguise turns the Charger SRT8 into a regular Charger but still hides the HEMI V8 engine. For me, I want my Charger SRT8 looking like the Charger Rallye Plus just by placing some of the aero parts I have mention and slam it with some MOMO GTR rims.

The Dodge Charger Cop Car from Fast Five!

Surprisingly, you can attach it with a front bullbar and if you select the right combination on the 2012 Charger SRT8 (and if you have sharp painting/designing skills), you can recreate the Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicle and for the fun of it, you could recreate the cop car you seen on Fast Five. How about a quarter mile drag race at The Top Gear Test Track? Oh well. This 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is all about surprises in every corner.

Things I like; the aggressive design, it has the combinations to replicate the original Charger and the Charger Pursuit, and the sound of the new 6.4L HEMI V8 engine is very crispy and its the embodiment of evil. Things I don't like; the handling is too vulgar, and the 5-speed paddle shit transmission is too unresponsive.
