I saw a regular new Taurus driving around the other day. Looked worse in person. Car companies will do a long ass road test and they happen to drive through Vegas. All the ones I've ever seen have had Michigan plates on them. Some have had the black coverings to cover some of the looks, and some were just straight up. The Taurus didn't have covers, but it had a whack, spotted paint job. I've seen All types of cars about to come out in my time here. Nothing fancy though.

The G8 does BUT for those who want AWD and cleaner styling the new SHO looks to be the better alternative.
Are you saying the SRT8's are better or worse than the ford???

The 300C SRT8 was a BEAST. 425HP talks. Unbelieveable brakes too. Basically a racecar wrapped in a tuxedo. It was one of my choices of cars up at the lake over the past summers.

Hmmmm...... SRT8, SSR, or RX-7..... choices choices.

There's more to a car than a motor.

At this point the Dodge platform is showing it's age, the interior wears thin quick. It's a great muscle car, but just not in the same league as a G8 (and now possibly the SHO)

I'd definitely take a G8 GT.
Not that I have $30k lying around... but you know, just for survey purposes.

Of those choices... SRT8 hands down, any of the options. Charger, Challenger, 300C, or Grand Cherokee.
I'm a muscle car at heart. It's gotta go, go now, fast, and in a straight line... all while looking good doing it.

If I want handling, I'll jump on my bike.

A-fucking-men

The Doc actually recently traded the 300C SRT8 in for the GC SRT8. Its not as cool, but its still pretty badass. The interior is ok. But the thing isnt as potent as his old 520hp Cayenne Turbo S. But it looks better than the cayenne.

Ford might as well pull out a shot gun and stick it in their mouth....

Sad... really sad.
