    Exclamation Contemplating the Charger

    I am a current owner of an 05 Magnum RT, and am thinking about trading it in for a Charger.
    I was wondering if some of the problems with the Magnum are also with the Charger, such as the alignment/tire issue!
    Any help, ideas or thoughts are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    G.T. Hatziyannis

    No aligmment/tire issues with my charger. If you get a charger try to get one with the road and track option. The seats, steering etc. are well worth the money! Good luck in your decision.

    It's the same car. The alignment issue was on the early '05s and resolved. There's even a kit to help on yours, and a TSB to address it.

    The Chargers would have had the same problem if they existed back then as all the LX's are built on the same line from the same parts, except for the upper body.

    I agree, if you get an R/T, get it with the Road and Track option. Or you could get an SRT8 Maggie and watch all those Charger Daytonas and R/T's drift back in your rear view mirror as the guy in the SuperBee and SRT8 Charger hangs with you.

    I second what Powerwagon said.

    I just nearly shaved the nose off of Jonesey's SRT8 Charger and All I have is cat back and CAI. (See sig.) Wait until I start modding.

    I traded my 05 magnum in last year for a daytona charger (top banana 2315) and never regretted it. they are basically the same. Same handling., accelleration, performance, etc. You give up some cargo space but I have a daytona Ram 1500 & Caravan SXT so what the hell do I need cargo space for?

    I say go for it, you'll be very happy.
