It's no secret that the Charger definitely needs love from SRT and Direct Connection. I still stand firmly on my love for this generation of the Charger and the way it separates itself from being a pony car or a sports car with its size, weight and mission. By now, we all realize that a V8 is coming to the lineup soon and that more than likely it will be a supercharged 5.7L Hemi V8 making around the same 650hp it makes in the truck, potentially taking over the Daytona nameplate from the EV Variant, positioning itself as the most powerful Non-SRT Charger ever produced and still being CARB friendly. The writing is already on the wall. But before we go too far down that rabbit-hole, let's speculate what this "Moparized" Charger could bring to the table.
1.) Styling and accessories: As it stands, the Charger is a big beautiful car that has alot of the right curves and angles, proudly putting it's muscle car heritage on display. However, the car is truly lacking in alot of ways. Mopar Muscle cars have always had cool hoods, scalloped doors, sculpted sides, big spoilers (Gull Wings, Go Wings, THE DAYTONA WING! and even the regular two-post spoilers), Graphics, cool wheels and all kinds of need little quirks that made them awesome. That needs to continue with this car we have right now. This car needs spoiler options, hood options, ground effects, graphics, light upgrades (headlights and taillamps) wheel options, etc. Brake caliper color options need to be addressed as well. Inside the car definitely needs different color options besides just black and red. It needs that Laguna Sephia option, it needs houndstooth options in black and orange, or black and tan or even black and a dark coffee brown. The car needs the LED airbag horn cover with options of the Fratzog logo, R/T, Scat Pack & Daytona LED emblems in the center that lights up with the same options as the rest of the interior mood lighting. The car could use some cool Direct Connection shifter options and that Alpine subwoofer system that was at Roadkill nights next to the supercharged Ram 1500 truck.
2.) Power: A 420hp Charger R/T and a 550hp Charger Scat Pack aren't anything to sneeze at. Doesn't mean that more power isn't needed. Direct Connection kits that offer tunes, the new-gen K&N intake, smoother, larger intercooler piping and intercoolers, blow off valves, injectors, fuel pump upgrades, better catted down pipes, Direct Connection by Magnaflow exhaust systems (in different sound levels) and things like that would be pretty nice along with suspension packages and parts, Brake packages, and other things that would draw customers in to Direct Connection and SRT upgrades.
