Looks like a neat car! What does it have for an engine?

2.5 strait 4 i believe.  non turbo. 

There is something to be said for not getting speeding tickets.

That would be the reason to know all the back roads and make use of them when you need to play a little.  ;D

Not my car, and I don't know how good you can see, but the dash cluster is all funky.   The Tachometer and the Speedometer switched places, and the speedo goes up by 5's as in 5, dash, 15, dash, 25, dash, 35, dash, 45, dash, 55, dash, 65.  So it doesn't show the 60 mph mark.  My point is why would they do that, unless their point was for me to go a bit faster?  I'd guess it's either because of the age, because I know they averaged 0-55 back then, or because it's sport oriented, and they figured that design would be awesome. 

The first time I got  it up to speed, a police officer pulled out, and I could feel their eyes on me.  thankfully, I was only going 55 at the time.  about 5 minutes later a new charger wanted to play.  I figured I didn't want to get any tickets the first day, so I stayed at 45, while he sped away at 70ish. (in a 45 zone)

I'm not sure if that is strange with the speedometer or not. Mine only has the 20s labeled: 0, 20, 40, 60...

Your car is a looker for sure, so just remember Big Brother is watching.

What's with all these new Dodge Chargers anyway? There are three parked within a block of my house. Were they on sale?

they sure look nice, with the new face lift, and the new dodge tail lights, but In the end, they're still just chargers.  not anything special anymore.
