I think the Charger looks badass. Totally. But unless you have the Hemi version, it is impossible to burn the rubber. Mainly because of the automatic transmission so you can't play with the clutch. I had no problem burning the rubber on my 19 (!) year old Citroen BX back in college. It only had a 1.6L 4 cylinder engine, that had 110hp in 1982. I'm not sure if more than 60-75 were left when I had her... Well my Charger is the cheapest one. They don't sell her with this engine any more: 2.7L V6 180hp. Still not enough hp and torque to smoke or even squeak the tires with the 4 speed automatic transmission.
Now it rains since yesterday afternoon. After a long long time. And everybody knows that in such a case roads are slippery as hell. With a FWD (front wheel drive) car you usually don't even notice it. But FWD cars are lame. RWD (real wheel drive) cars go crazy though! If you played with NFS before and when you finally had the Ford Mustang and you played with the keyboards (PC) you remember that it was almost impossible to take off with the car, since the wheels were spinning but the car remained still.
Now this is how I feel on the road since yesterday, and I don't even put the pedal to the metal when I take off. And I have (I think) good quality Good Year all season tires. Quasi brand new since there's only ca. 16000 miles in the car.
Feels good though ;-)
