Motor Trend recently did a comparison between the Charger R/T (essentially a less-fancy 300, as you all know) and the G8 GT, and named the G8 the superior vehicle. I wonder how well the GXP version will fare against stiffer competition....oh, say the SRT8 Charger/300, M3 sedan, and C63? |
In my opinion they did a great job developing the G8 GXP. It will fare well at its price point. It has slightly less hp/TQ than an SRT8 but is a tad quicker due to its roughly 300lb. weight advantage, and it is similar skid pad, braking and figure-8 numbers--and the price is close too. Previously- you couldn't compete with the srt8s for that kind of perfromance at that price-in a sedan. Plus--I like thelooks of the G8--especially the front end (not as much the backend).
