Love the G8 GXP. That is a badass family car.

+1 to the above comments. Hoping to pick one up in a few years for dirt cheap.

Dodge Charger SRT8?

My buddy owned one and hated it. Fast in a straight line, but crap in the corners (4083lbs!).

Pontiac G8 GXP?

Very bland styling with a typical Pontiac-tacky interior. Some would say "sleeper", I say "boring" or "cheap".

Verdict...

2 cars with great engines wasted in bad packaging.

My buddy has the SRT8 and loves it. It has great acceleration and sounds amazing. But he didnt buy it planning on taking corners.

i don't think anyone who buys a muscle car plans on taking corners

that being said, i'd say the charger is far more aggressive

I would get the G8. Looks like dodge will be the first one to go under. I want to have a dealership to take my car to, if something went wrong.
