That picture of the white one with the huge tires is missing the widebody RWB style wheel fairings that some spy shots have seen.

Dodge is doing a good job at hyping this car up.

 

I wouldn't call the NT05 a drag radial exactly, but 315's front and rear will make this thing stick. Further begs speculation about awd.

NT05R not NT05.

 

I think it's a production cost thing (one size demon tires) over an AWD thing. But it will keep speculation high.

I missed the R part. How are the R tires handling wise?

 

*IF* this thing is awd, it's a (2500?) stall converter away from being untouchable 0-60.

You can already find dealers with tons of challenger hellcats new on the lot significantly discounted ($7500+).

 

I wouldn't mind an A8 hellcat sub $50k.

What would be the purpose of putting 315's up front if not awd?

No clue. I had to double check on the "R" part too as I had never heard of it.

Aside from only having one type of Demon tire, making it have better front end mechanical grip for turning and stopping.

I heard that a batch of them shipped with bad bearings.

 

I've been trying to pick up a 2016 B5 Blue on the cheap but dealers are being too greedy.

 

Not B5, but it does have a sunroof & silver, stick. New 57k.

Just a fyi, the dealers that took in a 2017 during the first 2 weeks of January got them at 15% off. This is why many 2017's have been discounted to 2016 discounted prices. Every dealer around me has 2-5 2016's. It's only time before they get a little cheaper.

That's a good price. I've offered every dealer that has a B5 stick with black hood and sunroof $11k off, or $10k off shipped. None of them have taken it so far, and to be honest at this point I'm losing interest as I'm an impulse buyer.

I'm trying to get my head around this car.

I may get one here and use it as a daily

Can get one for $36,000 us with 9000 km

 

Damn that's cheap.

Get IT!!

picked up the car yesterday and drove it 350 kilometers from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta.

Even though it was at night and my vision sucks, the twisty roads were fun.

I have to say, this car has unlimited power, it wants to pull and pull and pull.

I thought it was going to handle so so, but it was surprisingly grippy.

Toward the end I felt I was first person in a video game.

For the money($800,000 pesos=$37,000usd)I see no better choice.

What are your thoughts on the RS? I've heard it's real fun.

This rs is 2010 with a chip

It's got 350 hp and it's a lot lighter than the 2016 model plus its front wheel drive not all wheel

This rs corners hard but to get any speed you have to be in the revs

 

It's a fun car and not something you see everywhere
