I test drove a new Charger with a 5.7L and the sales guy let me put my foot in it a little. Has some power but the automatic transmission kind of dissapointed the experience. I am not sure what the weight difference between a Charger and Challenger will be but the car felt a little heavy to me. As you put your foot down the front end came up and then as you gained speed it leveled off.

I have not yet test drived a charger yet but i will very very soon. I will be looking to buy my first car soon and I will test drive the charger. The only problem is I might try to wait for the challenger before I buy.

I actually drove the Charger before I knew about the Challenger and wanted to buy an SRT. The only one they had on the lot was owned by the GM of the dealership and the sales guy (I think) kept showing me the R/T as they probably could not get an SRT. I expect the extra power makes a big difference in feel. After seeing the Challenger all thoughts of a Charger are purged from my brain. It would prove interesting to drive the SRT to feel the speed and power though.

Your experience is exactly what I don't like about heavy cars as they feel like boat anchors with all of that intertia. I like instantanous responses and not body responses that take time to react to.
