After the MAJOR disappointment of a large amount of the modern Mopar community, Dodge has finally decided to pick up the pace on the gas-powered Charger. And I’ve plenty of new information about this new gas-guzzler.

Performance Specs

Here are the alleged pre-production specs on this new gas Charger:

• Horsepower: 550

• Torque: 525 ft-lb

• 0-60mph: 4.5 seconds

• Top Speed: 125mph

This car is extremely heavy. So it’s almost a complete mirror of the RHO, but just a BIT faster. It also noticeably fails to compete performance-wise with the all-electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack. And the specs that I just listed were for the high output version. Not even the standard.

Pricing

Knowing Dodge’s recent pricing decisions, we can expect the High-Output charger to cost upwards of $60,000. Not ideal knowing most of Dodge’s fanbase is not willing to spend that much on a car they hate for some reason, but it’s what Stellantis wants. I still don’t understand the hate on this new Charger, and I never will. It’s one of my favorite modern cars ever.

So what do we think?

Well, personally I don’t like this new gas charger. Kind of a waste of time, knowing it completely fails to compete with both of the electric options. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
