Charger R/T42/70
The Deal
6
Book says $9,250 and nobody sells one for that. Budget against $16,000.
The Drive
6
A great noise attached to two tonnes and five ratios, which is not enough gearbox to let it out.
The Upkeep
5
Cheap to fuel and cheap to shoe, and the dearest of this tier to insure.
The Risk
5
On the Camaro SS the same style of failure is avoided by choosing the manual, and on the Corvette C5 the signature fault is a $50 part. Here there is no equivalent move.
The Daily
8
Four doors, five seats and a proper boot, which is the case for the whole car.
The Limit
5
The chassis runs out long before the engine does, and the class flatters it.
The Mods
7
The usual first modification is a camshaft, and half the time it is being fitted because the old one failed.
