    Been looking around in case we decide to get a sedan.
    Anyone have experiences with them? Or years close to this?

    Might want to check here chargerforums.com I owned a 2006 R/T with the Road and Track package. LOVED the car and the new ones are even better. Unless you need the AWD one I would stick with the RWD. Seeing that you are in Denver I am going to assume that snow is the reason for AWD. I have driven the 2012 SuperBee and R/T Max very nice cars lts of power. SuperBee has the 6.4 of course :) I loved my Charger bought it with about 10k on the clock had it till 85k never once any problems. It was built though so....

    If the SRT was in AWD, I'd jump on it. Yessir, I've been browsing those forums and YouTube videos of them. How much room is there in back on the newer ones for a car seat?

    HAHA Back seat with a car seat is plenty big in the new ones and older ones. Its a full size sedan I never worried about room in that car. Oh ya, If they made the SRT AWD they would fly off the shelf

    No personal experience, if you plan on modding it, a couple people I know who are familiar with the LX platform cars always say that they're slightly less mod friendly because all the parts from RWD cars aren't interchangeable. Don't know if that's still the case but apparently it was with the last generation. I really like the new Chargers though myself.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Test drove the Charger, Camaro, and Mustang GT about a month ago with a good friend. He went with the Charger but I preferred the Mustang by a mile. The Charger was just too big for me and didnt have good feedback in the steering.

    We looked at a Boss 302 but wouldnt let us test drive :(

    Couldnt lose but I suggest you test drive the competition and make the decision for yourself.
